I thought I'd take a few weeks or months, get some help and then get right back into it "when I felt ready."


It's been 2 years since then and I STILL don't feel "ready"! I haven't even started looking for a job. I feel like a broken person who nobody would hire, and I'm seriously deathly afraid of interviews. So I continue to procrastinate. I'm beginning to realize that I'm NEVER going to feel "ready" and really need to just get back into work, because I can't rely on my parents to support me my whole life. Much as I hate society, I tend to feel really guilty about not being a "contributing member."

Thanks for your opinion, OneInBillions. I have a target set in my head to return to work after this month is up. You are correct in saying that I may never be "ready" but I think this gives me enough time to get my act together. Hopefully I will be "ready" as I am mentally preparing for it. Best wishes
