Jean Lindsay, a spunky 67-year-old with two masters' degrees, panicked after she failed to land a job in the garden center of a Lowe's home-improvement store.
She started to wonder whether a woman of her age ever would be able to find work. She worried about her debt, and weeks of unemployment were turning into months.
After the job interview, she stayed up most of the night in the fits of an anxiety attack -- vomiting and huddling under the bedcovers with her two dogs.
"God, I felt like I was falling off the ends of the earth," she said.
A few days later, though, she tossed on a red sweater, plopped down in front of her computer, flipped on her Web camera -- and, suddenly, while streaming her story onto the Internet, things seemed OK.

A TEENAGER has faced court after his baggy trousers fell so low that he exposed himself - just as a female police officer was walking past.
Trent Joseph Wroe has learned the hard way that he should wear underwear after a night out in Mooloolaba on February 28, The Sunshine Coast Daily reports.
The 19-year-old faced Maroochydore Magistrates Court on a charge of public nuisance, after his pants fell down and exposed his bare bottom as he walked along the Esplanade just after midnight.
The case even managed to get a chuckle out of magistrate Tom Killeen, who advised Mr Wroe to wear a belt in future.
“I wore a belt today,” Mr Wroe said in court as he indicated to his shorts.

MONTAGUE, Texas — A notorious Texas county jail where some cells didn't lock and inmates allegedly had sex with female guards has been reopened following $1 million worth of repairs and renovation.
Montague County started moving its 63 inmates back this week after inspectors from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards approved the corrective work.
Sheriff Paul Cunningham closed the jail for the renovations on Jan. 1, just after he was sworn in to office.
Authorities said inmates openly took drugs, used cell phones that were supplied by friends or guards, disabled some surveillance cameras and made weapons out of nails.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — A kindergarten teacher in a Bridgeport school has been arrested for allegedly forcing a 5-year-old boy to eat his lunch from a garbage can.
Sixty-seven-year-old Anne O'Donnell of Fairfield, a teacher at Park City Magnet School, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of risk of injury to a minor.
School officials say the charge stems from an incident last week when the boy apparently tossed out his lunch of chicken nuggets and a banana from the school cafeteria.
The teacher is accused of retrieving the items from the garbage can and forcing the boy to eat them in front of her.

RAUNCHY strip club signage is posing a moral and physical danger to Hobart schoolchildren, critics say, after one youngster walked into a pole while ogling a picture of a "rude lady".
Hobart Hooters Bar owner Peter Johnson was today refusing to replace two signs causing some offence, saying the controversy was "a storm in a D-cup''.
The club is close to a cinema and a private girls' school and its 2m-high exterior signs are visible from 100m away.
They show a woman's naked torso and a bikini-clad pole dancer.
The Advertising Standards Bureau has received complaints about the signs and the girls' school principal says they are inappropriately placed.
