Thanks for your caring message. I feel much better today.
I got in touch with some friends last night and talked and got support and felt better. They pointed out that the position I applied for is for a youth group that serves a lot of boys, and currently has no male staff. The boys really need a male role model and someone to confide in in a way that they can't with a woman. A man _was_ hired for the position. I'm sure that that wasn't the only factor, but in the shoes of the organization, I would have probably hired a man if he seemed capable. So can't take it so personally.
It's just hard. I'm really unhappy at my job, and I've really been struggling for years, only to wind up in failure. I feel at the end of my rope, out of energy to pick myself up for another try.
But thanks for breaking the link between feeling worthless and being worthless. :D
