I feel so lost right now.

I quit my day job that I hated to do something amazing that I have always wanted… but now we are strapped for cash and I feel depressed. I can’t seem to find a part time job and things are starting to pile up on me. I love what I am doing now but it won’t pay the bills. I feel like I don’t have any more time in my day to do stuff around the house and it gets piled up. I look around around at a messy house and feel as though I have no control over my life. My emotions are up and down and I have tremendous stress/anxiety that is so hard to deal with. I am trying to get in shape but even that feels out of my control. I feel bored and tired and just sad. And sorta worthless. I know most people like me but I still feel as though the world would barely blink if I was gone. I guess I’m sort of just lost right now. I usually have the answers, but not this time. My Husband is sad too.. He has to get up and go to a crappy job while I sit at home. We both feel really trapped..

mistake #1 was quitting in order to do something that won’t make any $. you might love it but if it’s only dragging you down it can wait ’till you get back on your feet. i personally would also never quit a job unless i had something else lined up, specially with the economy now…come on! anyway, just keep looking and being a lady(i assume) maybe you can do odd jobs to help you out in the meantime. babysit, house cleaning, etc. with all that free time you should excercise. you’re just depressed, start doing something to get out of your problem instead.

I think you should maybe see a doctor. It sounds like you are pretty depressed. Maybe he can give you something to make you feel a little better.
Maybe you can talk to your husband about this, take the weekend off to clean your house, talk about your problems and make plans. keep searching for jobs.
They say money doesn’t make you happy, but it does…
good luck with this!

Thanks. I do make money at what I do now and it is nice but every now and then, something falls through and it creates pressure. Like not getting paid for the work I do. BUT.. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I would have been crazy to pass up. (Says everyone I know and I think so too!) But I couldn’t have done it w/o quitting my ****** day job that I hated and was trying desperately to get out of anyway. I am looking at other things and was for a long time but with the economy this was all just terrible timing. I did pray and aksed God to open doors that I need to go through, which He did, and close those that I need to leave, and He did. So I feel this is where I am supposed to be… But I never knew it would be this hard.

I have been exercising dailly and seeing VERY slow progress but I am inpatient. If this is the extend to my day, then it seems pretty sad after awhile. I need to do other stuff to make me feel better about myself and happy… Maybe get out more and look for jobs or read or whatever! The dailly grind of this is truly sucking at the moment.

It’s funny how when you’re stressed things seem to pile up and cause more stress. Well really not funny. Try to keep things tidy and keep you ears open for small earning opportunities. Feeding ourselves is a drag….hang in there:)
