why dont you like life? whats going on?
I can’t get a job in the area I use to work in. I stay home every day and I hate it here. I’m 4 months pregnant and no one wants to hire someone who’s pregnant. I have always felt down but I feel so trapped like I can’t do what I love (my old job).
That’s a tough situation to be in.
What did you do (your job I mean)?
Top secret stuff. I can’t say. But I have tried everything and I just can’t get a job in that area at this point.
There is another type of work that seems to be opening up for me that I can do from home but I hate spending all day at home! Plus this job is a lot more work for less pay!
awwh im sorry. well are you single? or does your “other half” have a job?
He works at home, too! So we are both here all day! And he’s moody. I am so down! I just want to go out to do meaningful work outside the home.
okay, actually we’re both moody, which really sucks.
It’s just depressing hopelessness day after day. And his business is not doing that well either.
You guys could try something together?
We do work together some.
But I want to like what I do and feel that I am doing something valuable with my time! I don’t want to be stuck here anymore. I was just crying and crying this evening. And I was in public, too. I hardly ever do that. What is wrong with me! I am going crazy here! Something seriously has to give.
it seems like the current economic crisis is effecting everyone.
but you’re saying its your condition thats affecting your employment.
its your hormones & plus your bored & r feeling a little unproductive.
try some personal projects…create something.
or do something produtive…just do something.
& have a goal in mind that your working towards. this will help your mood tremendously.
I actually do have the perfect project but it just doesn’t compare to my last job which was the most rewarding and fulfilling. It’s hard to feel motivated on a ‘project’ when you know no one cares what you do.

“top secret stuff” so your a spy?
maybe… it’s just important that no one from here knows me in my real life or knows what I did for a job because they could find out who I am and for the kind of work I did it is important to be mentally stable, which I’m not really, but I hide it from the outside world.

hrrm…
no one cares what you do?
Are you sure about that…or are you just feeling downa & projecting your uncertainty….& it’s biasing your opinion on what other ppl are thinking….?
I’m more then certain that it matters to other ppl…..definitely!~
Like my ‘project’ I could be working on. No one cares if I do it or just sit around. I want someone to care about what I do. I want someone to need me.
I either need my situation to change or to feel differently about the situation. I have been stuck here for a while now. I just can’t seem to make either of those things happen.
I wish I could go to sleep tonight and never wake up.
Oh don’t say that. Things will pick up and look better. Is there something else you could do in your spare time that would give you a sense of appreciation, volunteering your time at a hospital a few hrs. a week, working with the disabled or something else?
I do some volunteering.
I guess just I feel important when I have a good job and make a big pay cheque. And now I don’t. I feel worthless. Like my job was my identity.
Well maybe that’s your problem. Your so much more then a job title. Just don’t give up on your dreams to succeed in the work force. Your pregancy could just be making you depressed. The hormonal thing.You will be of great value to your employer, once you can land your dream job again. Don’t give up and feel hopeless, There’s always tomorrow.
That’s terrible for you, but have you considered branching off into something that is both new and doable at home? Me, I love writing, and if I’m trapped at home wiht nothing to do, I feel that when I write I take myself away into another world and realities just don’t matter for a while.
Try to find something that you love doing enough to make you being at home a non-issue? Art, writing, designing, something creative, something that you can do and have results from and you can step back with pride and say, “hey, I did that. That’s mine and I made it”.
Yeah, I do writing at home. And I have actually made some money doing it. I always wanted to be a writer and now seems like the perfect chance like when one door closes another opens. But it is difficult and hard to know how to get started on a project and discouraging if no one is waiting on you and needing you to work on it/finish.
In my last job I felt highly needed and valued. Now, not so much. I don’t feel needed and valued.
Ah, Cell, your job is NOT your identity. And why don’t you sit down and start writing. That’s what I’m doing . . . got to get back to it. By the way, about 80 percent of workers feel that their jobs get them down. Very few jobs are designed to really utilize our talents and give us a sense of accomplishment. There’s just so much “scut work” out there that has to be done, but you feel like a drudge doing it. Again, you are NOT defined by what you do for a living.
You also live in a beautiful country, in a beautiful province. Get out and enjoy it!
Hope you feel better soon!
You’re welcome!
Again, MOST people look for fulfillment OUTSIDE of their employment. You could think about it this way: if most jobs WEREN’T so boring and unfulfilling, there would probably be very few people with hobbies or doing volunteer work! ;-)
it’s clear that it’s hard now for you but in 5 months you WILL have someone who needs you, and getting involved in a new demanding job now, as fulfilling as it may be, won’t be practical when you have a new-born child. if you can find a short-term solution to your boredom that may be best

I guess you’re right.
