I'm looking into making a career change, only I have no idea what that might be. I just saw a career counselor today, and I'm hoping that will help lead to a new direction. On the other hand, going back to school doesn't seem like an option, either, due to the debt I mentioned earlier.

I just hope I can continue with the job and not get fired while I try to figure out my future.

Thanks for reading

I totally understand. Totally and completely. Every time I go through a depression that happens to me too. I'm on meds so the depressions don't get severe any more (thank God) but they still come once in awhiel and I'm diving into one right now...i can feel it coming..my arms even feel heavy to lift. Don't want to be here at all.

I like the advice the last poster gave you above. I wish I had better advice to give you becuase I feel like a slave to my emotions myself and work is suffering as a result.

Hang in there; you are not alone.
