hi lexy99, you are definitely not alone in feeling stuck and not knowing what to do to be happier again or how to move forward. I am no one to be giving advice, I’m in the same boat, but I’m going out on a limb here and guessing you enjoyed your coffee shop job more than your office job? Although, it’s not as prestigious, I bet it was more fulfilling for you and that’s why you stayed there longer.
I have had office jobs and also retail/store jobs. I enjoyed the retail jobs much more even though they don’t pay as much and some people look down on you. Who cares. It’s the interaction with people, the positive energy and serving them that makes it fulfilling. In my experience, the people that work in offices are miserable and mean and I found myself avoiding contact with them which was opposite of what I needed. That’s just how it was for me.
As far as being attached to your family, there’s nothing wrong with you. There is something pulling you to stay nearby. It may not make sense to you, but there is a reason you feel that way, so pay attention to that.
Lastly, don’t worry about feeling down or feeling off track. Good things are coming your way. This is just the discomfort that comes before things change for the better. They will. Just hang in there. I have lots more I could say, but I’ve already rambled on long enough. You sound a lot like me and I relate to every word. You are not alone my dear. Take good care and I’m up for a chat whether via email or my page if you like. Best wishes to you, Laurie <3
