What are you looking for? I think you have every right to be picky.

I don't think you should sit at home and do nothing all day, or worse... clean all day, everyday. That would be torture. But I see benefit in volunteering full time. That is also something to put on your resume while you're looking for a new job. Maybe something in the same field that can help you build new/different skills or going back to school like kaliope suggested. In interviews, you could always tell them "We had the means, and I wanted to further my skills more than my job was allowing for. I also wanted to give back to the community."

I'm not trying to push you. And I totally understand wanting to bring something to the table financially. I just wanted to make sure what I was saying was clear.

It's great that you do so much exercise! When do you do it? They say it can be more helpful to exercise in the morning. I can't say from experience, I do my workouts in the evening. Is there anyway you could go for walks during the down time at work?

Oh, and you don't have to start gushing your inner most thoughts the first time you meet a therapist. You can take time to build up trust with them, make sure they're right for you, before you start really talking. I'm sure you already knew this, but sometimes it's helpful to hear things from other people.

Ps, I'm pretty type A too. It's not always a bad thing
