I'm about to be impulsive.. Just like I always am.. I'm in the rationalizing mode and it is sounding better and better of a decision to pick up and quit my job and move out of state.. I hate not knowing if it's the "right" decision.. I need to figure out if it is.. But it probably wouldn't make a difference.. When I get in this mood I do what I want regardless because i'm stubborn in addition to impulsive.. ughhhhhh..

i feel like i'm not comfortable where i'm at, i don't feel like i'm at home


where i need to be like i'm wasting time and need something/anything to change.

i'm restless and anxious to get where i'm comfortable to be..

i am different.. People can be in a place and know that it's not their ultimate goal BUT they can make the best of it until they get where they want.. I'm not like that.. being somewhere i'm not comfortable is like a thousand spiders crawling all over me and i HAVE to make a change, I have to run and get away to feel comfortable.. until the next time that I feel those spiders of uncomfortable.. I wish I knew where I wouldn't feel those spiders.. if that makes sense? Spiders is a reference to just general "un-comfortableness" No matter where I go.. there I am..

I always think it's best to try and sleep on it, see how you feel in the morning. Trust me, I know it's hard to overcome impulsivity, but forcing yourself to wait even a couple of hours for the impulsive urge to pass, I find is much better than doing something irrational. You could even watch a film or something if you can't sleep, tell yourself you won't do anything until the film ends, and perhaps the impulse will have passed by then. That's what I do Hope this helps!

i don't think i'll ever be happy anywhere that i go and it feels so hopeless sometimes...

[learningtolive2013]

I'm never happy, i'm never satisfied and there is nowhere i can ever escape "me"...

Try not to act on impulse! Calm down and really think about it... think about the consequences that would come from you impulsive action, are you in a position where you can afford to quit or will doing so result in financial burdens? Think about just why you're unhappy and about what you need to do to be happier. What's wrong with your job? Are you bored with it? Do you not like your co-workers? You can always change your life course, find another job or go back to school but it might be a good idea to keep your current job till you find another one or at the very least put your 2 weeks in. Quitting abruptly could reflect badly on you when seeking another job. I've dropped many classes on the whim which effected my ability to receive financial aid and halted my academic progress. I am now applying at my FOURTH college because of this.

I'm impulsive too, I've quit many jobs- like I've walked out in the middle of shifts after only being there for a few months. I've had times where I just didn't feel like dealing with my job so I didn't show up when I was scheduled and have been fired for it. Now I have to explain to employers why I walked out or got fired, it definitely doesn't look good and I'm certain that I miss out on opportunities because of it, I haven't had a job in over 2 years, no one will hire me. I can relate to feeling uncomfortable in the workplace, I think I'll always feel uncomfortable regardless of where I work and it's something I want to learn to deal with, I think it would be easier if I improved my self-esteem.

I just don't care about the consequences when i'm in that "mood".. nothing seems to be as bad as the feeling I have being there to begin with.

I can totally relate to the struggles with work. The first job I had (at a supermarket) I walked out of after a month, and just didn't come back. The second job I had, I hardly turned up for. Needless to say, I didn't last long. Somehow, I don't think my employers would've taken too kindly to- 'I was too depressed to get out of bed this morning!'
