Today is the day I have to make my big decision about whether or not to take this job. I still don't feel like I have made any headway on what I want to do. I keep going back and forth. I don't necessarily feel mentally stable enough now to do it, but the job doesn't start until the fall.

In addtion to a list of pros and cons I have made a list of things to consider and things to not consider because I don't want to make a choice for the wrong reasons.

But I still don't know what to do. I had my therapist appt. and I had hoped it would give me some clarity; it didn't.

Take the job! You can change your mind at any time before the job starts in the fall.

This exactly what I would do. You still have time to change your mind if you want to. But if you don't, you still have a job to look forward to!

Zepchic - I think it marvelous that you have been 'working' on this.Like a pro/con list an Evidence For/Against list can shed light on some interesting points that you might otherwise not have considered. Are you anxious about going back to work? You might like this worksheet too (Catastrophic thinking worksheet):

So I took the job. Hopefully, it will all work out well. Thanks for bearing with me in my desperation. I literally therapized myself when I had alone time in my car and was able to talk through it.
