There are many excellent resources available to you and free. The human resources office in the city in which you live, have a list of workshops that you can attend. One being is What colour is your Parachute or something similar. Effective resume writing, and skills in job interviews. Plus they also have listings of temporary and full time work.
And if you contact the Health Unit they can advise you of support groups in your area. Many of these groups are 12 step programs and people from all walks of life attend. It is there that you will find peers and support in the name of friends and a sponsor. And many 12 step programs such as ACOA. Have access to workshops such as Building Positive Self Esteem. Many of the people that you meet in the programs are very nice people who have also travelled that path you are currently walking.
They have won and so can you.
