Searchin81 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 im 28, I feel unaccomplished, and I am currently stuck at a plateau. I graduated high school ten years ago, went to college for a few years for history and government; didn't finish, worked some jobs got laid off from 2 and fired from another two. I hated the jobs anyway they were customer service on a phone..I was most laid off my last job at a bank, I have no career, and my previous jobs had no passion for the jobs..I have some bouts with depression, I live at home, really don't get alone well with my mother as she has drinking and anger problems, I always wanted to do something with politics but never knew how to get a paying career.I used to work out a lot but somehow lost my motivation, im still in good shape but just want the spark back.. I recently got a physical and blood test show that I might have a slow thyroid, it came back twice as slow, though the second test was an improvement,and im on medication for it now. I just don't know what to do with life or how to move forward instead of being stuck. I sometimes feel that a lot of it had to do with my parents that were split up and never really took an active role in my education or put me on the right path to go to college, at one time my mother told me I should get to reality when I said I wanted to go to college before I went..I think she just wants me working so I pay her rent money it seems to be all she cared about...But now im old enough to realize im the only one that can help myself and I guess couldn't depend on my parents than only one I can depend on is me.. and I was recently in a relationship and found out I was cheated on. Hmm can someone please tell me how to get some direction in my life...
MarthaStevensson Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Hi Searchin81, I feel sorry for you! I am also not well recently... If I didn`t have my sister who is always there to help me I don`t know what I would do... I spent last weekend at my sister`s house. We had some girly chats... Sharing my problems with others help me a lot. i know that it doesn`t solve my problems but at least helps. My sister recommended me a workbook- "If you want an egg roll get out of the pizzeria" by Dr Janet Crain. I found it on Amazon and bought it the next day. I got it yesterday and started reading. I couldn`t stop! This book is amazing. It`s actually more like a workbook showing you and suggesting what to do, how to change yourself and your thoughts to put the life in order and find happiness... I hope that the book will also help you! I think that I will keep it as a workbook and use some techniques explained over there on a daily basis... Will see what will be the result. I am already fed up with my life so I have nothing to lose...
