However it's important to decide what you want to do with your Life. Do you have some ideas in mind already? I hope you won't take this as an offense but perhaps it would be a good idea for you to see a therapist. There's no shame in that as even therapists have to see other therapists. That's just a suggestion though! You decide. Either way, I hope you'll at least be able to find a less stressful job soon. It is hard to start up but once you do it it gets easier. I'd say keep working and doing what you can, try to look for something else if you can and perhaps think about what you REALLY want from your Life, perhaps with the help of an experienced therapist. Feel free to PM me ANYTIME! I'll be happy to help you! I'm sure PLENTY of others will help youout as well! Please keep positng and keep us updated if you want! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! KEEP FIGHTING AND KEEP ROCKING AS MUCH AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN LIKE YOU'RE ALREADY WONDERFULLY DOING!
Hey, Mickey! Thanks a lot for always being so encouraging. And no offense taken! I've been in therapy for 5 years. My job changed my insurance, which meant that I had to leave my current therapist and I am currently in the midst of waiting to get an intake to see a new one. I do have a psychiatrist, though. I'm currently trying to find a job but it is not going well because I do not want to be in this field anymore, or at least right now. The mental health field is draining and it is just so sad how little it cares about the community it is supposed to serve. I already know what I really want to do in life but it is so hard to get into the creative field. I'm taking steps towards my dream but it may not take off for a while, however. I am going to continue trying my best! Thanks so much! -hugs-

I actually have been taking some time off but it just feels like my energy is constantly being drained. The days off help but not much because, since my job is 24/7, I am CONSTANTLY being sent emails from work (they send mass emails to all of the employees) and I have to stay on top of things just in case they email me specifically and ask something of me. Thank you for reminding me that I am not alone. I really appreciate that. -hugs-
