[FONT=""][COLOR=""][SIZE=""]I'm long term unemployed after struggling with depression and anxiety. I'm feeling a lot better these days but then the pandemic hit.

I job search every day and have seen some opportunities and let them slide and then I feel bad. I don't even know if I want a job right now (grateful I don't actually need one) because I'm obese and worried about catching coronavirus. I know that being obese is more of a risk factor for having serious difficulties with coronavirus, but it's not on my medical records (I don't go to the doctors that often), so I won't get the vaccine until it reaches my age group which might not be until Autumn.

I can't decide if I should:

a) not apply for jobs but focus on losing weight and taking online courses that is relevant to the industry I want to work in so that when I do get the vaccine I'll be in a better position to volunteer or work.

or

b) actually apply for jobs now and carry on trying to lose weight (I haven't lost much so far though) hoping that I'll be okay and won't catch coronavirus before I get the vaccine.

My friends are also job searching and I worry about being left behind. It's not nice being obese, long term unemployed and wanting to get my life started while also trying to balance the risk of catching coronavirus. I can't tell if I'm just using the pandemic as an excuse to not work either :/[/size][/color][/font]
