Thanks everyone for the replies.. It helps me feel a little better knowing that I'm not the only one who feels like this. I appreciate the encouragment.

Hi Eliz214, I feel your pain because I'm in a similar situation. I'm in my late 20's and recently quit a very, very good job because I felt uninspired, depressed, and not respected in my role there. That action disappointed a lot of friends and family who looked at me as a 'success' and a strong young woman but I have never felt I was either of those things. Now, i spend my days working out, reading, staring out my window, and feeling bad for myself about my work life, personal life, and lack of direction.

clarissadalloway08- I understand.. I feel a total, complete lack of direction! It's nerve-racking because I've always had a "plan" and now I have no clue what I want to do. I almost feel incapable of finding a fullfilling career that I would actually like. Good for you for going with your heart and quitting because it wasn't making you happy. Money and "success" are definitely not everything. Success is when we find what makes us happy, or are at least on the path of trying to figure that out.
