    I’ve really been having a rough time lately. My current job is not the one for me. I live in terror every day that they will find some sort of error and let me go on the spot.

    I’ve been trying for a new job.  I’ve had a few interviews, but, though I get close, I’m still not getting the offers.  Just this past week I had an excellent second interview and one of my references even got pulled but I didn’t get the job. I’m not sure what I did(n’t) do.  It was crushing. I was sure that I had it.

    I feel like a failure. I don’t know what I’m good at, if anything, and I can’t find anything that I could move to. Even if I get an interview I’m afraid I won’t get the job.  I feel old and useless.  Worst of all, I’m depressed beyond belief and I don’t see any sort of future for myself. I just want to stay in bed and not face the world.

    Dear ZoeAlia:

    You have been distressed in and about this job for a long time. I sure hope you find a better job, one that doesn’t bring about this level of distress. No distress would be best of course. Did you try looking for a job farther away (you considered a 1.5 hours commute before)? You also considered going back to school, any developments there?

    I’ve been trying to cast the net wider and go with the jobs 1.5 hours away but no luck so far. I’m looking into a possibility on the school side of things, but I don’t qualify for student aid and loans are yet another hardship for me. If I take out a loan it needs to be for more pertinent things (repairs, car, meds).

    I’m not seeing a way out at all. At this point I think I just need to stay where I am working. I just don’t know a feasible long term solution.

    Well i have quite similiar situation here..problem about current workplace..but also hesitate to leave it because its hard to find another job with the same salary..im only high school graduated too…and its also imposible for me to go to university because financial problem…i have a wife, my father in law is having a cancer..i dont have any home or car yet…so its quite depressing for me…because i can allow my ego to quit now because i have my family who depends on me..so its quite the same here…but let the time answer..yes..nothing is forever…all the hard time, all the pain and tears will paid…really…i believe that.. so lets be strong together
