    I feel the same way with finding a career path. I went back to school over five years ago to pursue a career in physical therapy asst. i didn’t get in my first application but i will be trying again this fall. In the meantime, I still struggled the thoughts of “if this is the right path for me?” I may not love this career but i know i will end up liking it for a while. There were many thoughts in my head where I wanted to pursue certain paths such as photography, writing, or something interesting to me. Everyone I know has a career already but the question is do they love it? It’s even difficult for me to know what i want because i have depression and anxiety. I recently quit a job that i hated for over a decade and i have this new job which i also don’t like and i don’t know how long i can last. I feel stuck. I feel lost. And i have no family or friends to talk to or help.

    Thanks Tami. I downloaded a meditation app “Breathe”. Did the first 8 minutes of beginner meditation.

    Just do what you feel is right Jessie. I’m not a doctor so that’s the best advice i can give you. Things will get better…

    In my opinion I think you should have a heart to heart to talk with your husband. It will be painful for both parties, but you might as well tell him how your feeling. If I was him i would want to know what’s wrong even if it is something sexual. Perhaps also get some professional help with the situation?

    @AcceptingMe

    At 33 yrs old, I’m feeling the same way till this day. I had a rough time growing up and made plenty of mistakes in the past. I partied a lot, experimented with a lot of drugs, hurt a lot of people and I was known as “that person”. And the worst part is that I was young at the time. I know a lot of people do crazy things when they are young but for some reason i got criticized the most. It caused me depression, anxiety and some times i wanted to feel dead or just disappear so all the gossip would stop. But instead as I grew up and wanted to better myself, I learned from my mistakes and accepted the facts that some people will see me what i was in the past. And they can gossip that all they want, but in reality, thats what their life is all about. Just gossiping about other people because they are bored with their own lives. People change and they might not see that. But you dont have to prove anything to anyone but yourself. Just remember that they don’t really know you. They just know who you are from the mistakes that you did in the past. Just move on and keep doing what you love while these gossipers still live in your past and not the now.

    PS. Took me forever to figure out how to reply. Newbie probs..

    @Cognition

    I felt the same way about how this job owns me due to the fact that i came back multiple times. I think they felt that I really needed them and will do anything they tell me to do for very little pay. The company, the managers have made me feel empty. Or like I’m a nobody. A 33 yr old man that busses tables for a living. And in my head I always ask myself “would you go to a job you hate for a lot of money or a job that you actually enjoy and get paid for it?”
    I hope the new job will turn out good for you. Let me know how that goes.

    I told one of my manager after my shift that this week is my last week and will be working at the new job next week. I felt a little fearful telling certain people at work about going to another food industry. The reaction I got from them was shocking because as a server at our job, the tips are rewarding. But i noticed the people that think I’m making a mistake or think I will end up coming back again, are the ones with no education. The ones that didn’t try to finish college or go to college. The ones that do not have passion to make their life meaningful. Have you ever worked with people like that at your job? Do you have lifers as we call it for people who will be serving for the rest of their life? I hope things work out for you after you leave and as for school, I am reapplying for the Physical Therapist Asst. Program this fall. Hopefully I get in this time.
