So my new job meant i had to leave an hour early and get home an hour late to my old job.
Plus my new job is full time where as my old job was part time.
I was getting tired of the travelling so on Monday i decided i would move to the city my new job is in.
Yesterday i moved in.
its 50 miles from my hometown.
I'm renting a room and the room is lovely, i've brought all my stuff and made it look lovely.

The house is newly refurbished so only 2 people live here right now, one moved in today and the other move in on Friday.

I'm feeling a little lonely, but OK.

My new jobs going really well. On the odd day, i have a bad day and its REALLY HARD, because i dont want them to know about any of the problems i have. My thought patterns kind of go.

I did X wrong -> Why did i think i could go back to this job? -> i'll never be able to do it -> i should kill myself.

Talking myself down from there is hard but i'm managing so far.

Anything i have done wrong at work is what would be expected of a new person anyway, my managers think i am doing really well, so i should listen to them i know, but i do expect perfection from myself and get really down when that doesnt happen.

Hope everyones ok!

Hey Widgets,

Wow!! I am so very pleased for you that you are enjoying your job..... OMG you have moved away from home. Is this the 1st time you have lived on your own? Even better that your flat is re-furbished

Talking yourself down is a major coping skill!--yay, Widgets!!!!

And you've moved away from the parents, to your own place. Another major step for you. I remember when I did that & how lonely it was, but also looking back how important it was in permitting myself to make my mistakes and learn/grow from them. I came to appreciate my parents (& my parents me) much more with some distance & after some time.

I'm so glad the job's going well & you realize your less-than-perfect stuff is about right for newcomer's level. Great! Now, about that perfectionist's attitude....
