I resigned from my job this month, I had been teaching at this school for 6 years. I wasn't happy and was feeling so much anxiety on a daily basis. I am jobless right now and the uncertainty of my future makes me so anxious sometimes. I feel like I'm on the right step because at least I have gotten myself out of the deep depression I was in.
I'm thinking of taking classes to go into the heathcare field. I have a plan in my mind. I am thankful that I have my parents support as I am living with them so I don't have to worry too much financially, but I am not the type to just sit around.

I don't think I will fully feel okay until I've secured another job. I know all the steps I am taking to get there are for my own good. I'm doing something and not just lying around being unproductive.

I just wish I knew everything would be okay. I'm a planner and the uncertainty of what's to come is kicking my *** some days.

I hear healthcare is one of the most stressful fields.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. Unfortunately, I lost my job a few months ago. Like you I am blessed enough to have an amazing family and I moved home. Soon after I moved home I got my diagnosis' of bipolar and borderline personality disorders. I continued to look for jobs but the stress got to be a lot. Being less than two years out of college, I am still figuring out what I want to do with my life. I worried that my manic state was causing me to get these ideas of what I wanted to do with my life. Maybe it would be a good idea to get a part time job to keep you busy or do some volunteer work while you figure out what you really want. As jesusplay says, healthcare can be a stressful job. Wouldn't you hate to feel like you are jumping from career to career. I know I don't have much experience with any of this but I figure thats what forums are for to hear different views and what not.

I'm making sure to work in a small setting, nothing like a hospital. I like being hands on and being of service to others, I'm hoping it's a right fit..
