so I'm a little deterred-
My current job is ok, I'm just tired of the bs politics and people talking down to me and me being under appreciated and underestimated-
I've been drinking recently a little bit each day in the evening- it helps me feel better the next day- didn't help today though- it was my birthday.

Only my family and my bf know, and like one other friend- I didn't tell any of my worker friends. Feeling like a dork/loser. Feel like whats the point- I'd rather not have people know- but an definitely had to not have to work.
I donated blood today- that was good- I'd rather so a good deed that helps others than get lavished with gifts and fake well wishes from aquaintances that don't give a damn. Birthdays are just another day. I guess that sounds depressing, but then again I've never really liked celebrating my birthday much anyway. I think I had like only birthday party with friends when I was little and then nothing after that. Sure, I went to other friends parties, but I never got my own after that growing up. I think the whole thing is silly. So I guess that's made me feel like It's not a big deal. Maybe that's resentment/bitterness? I don't know. But I don't really like my birthday, this year especially. Last year was fun-went out with my bf. We ended up going out after all this year but it seemed weird- I think it was the place- it had a weird vibe, when people didn't really make me feel welcome. I don't know, maybe it's all in my head . . .
Just a few thoughts...
"My current job is ok, I'm just tired of the bs politics and people talking down to me and me being under appreciated and underestimated-"

If you feel your current job is ok, maybe you should stick with it. There is always going to be the bs and politics. I've been in your place. I would give anything to have an ok job right now, I'm home with no chance of ever going back to work that I can see.
Also...
"I've been drinking recently a little bit each day in the evening- it helps me feel better the next day- didn't help today though- it was my birthday"

Don't start down that road...experience here from starting to drink a little after work and then on all my off days when work got too rough. I was already on psych drugs, so the drinking just exacerbated my depression and anxiety. It took me way down a dark path that led to my destruction. Alcohol is a depressant, the day after tends to bring worsened depression.

Happy Birthday to you!

Just reading your post brought about memories of my lost career and just wanted to share my thoughts and experiences with you. Don't mean to be a downer.

Birthdays can be rough, I finally started just trying to appreciate what I have and can do, treat myself to some shopping and eating dinner out with a friend or family. Sounds like there are some issues that you need to talk out with a good friend or preferably therapist. Best of luck to you!
