Hello you good helpers! I can't stand the way I'm feeling at the moment! I miss feeling content and relaxed. Now I feel at ease, a little sad, & angry. Some people tell me I have everything & should be happy (i.e. family, roof over my head, car), but I'm not. I haven't experienced anything tramatic like a loss or anything.
I'm an adult & not feeling confident. I worry about the future. I've had office jobs the last 10 years & don't like the environment & fear that I'll have to do this the rest of my life because I have no degree or any other kind of experience. I got a temp job (in an office), which I thought might change my outlook, but I can't stand it and it's affecting my mood.
I also worry that I do not have money, I'm living at home, my younger siblings are in steady careers & I'm not. No one seems to be having problems, but me. It's hard to be around them when I'm feeling low and they're upbeat. I don't even enjoy being around them. NO privacy at home. What to do?

This may help you a bit.
I am in my late twenties, and am in the same boat as you. My younger siblings all have their own houses and careers, and I am at home AGAIN, have no car, working for very low pay, and, like you, worry that I'll never be financially stable. I have no privacy, get slack if I stay out late, or don't come home, or don't do this, or that.........like I'm 12 again. It is really hard at times, most of the time actually. I have a new boyfriend and I feel bad that I don't have it all together, and actually me feeling bad about it is the worse part, because I know it makes me act insecure and a bit needy. I thought by now I'd have it all figured out, and...well I'm pretty much at a loss most times. I don't have any REAL direction, and all I can try to do is cling to is God and hope I can trust him enough to clear a path for me to happiness.
You're not alone is all I'm trying to say.
Hang in there, we'll make it.

hi,
I understand cz i feel the same but sounds like u're a bit older than me. Everyone keeps saying i should be happy cz i have a family and stuff but I don't know why i can't find happiness in that. I have a good job in terms of income for a fresh graduate but I don't like it and it's exhausting, it has nothing to do with my major as well. i know a very nice guy and we have plans but sometimes things don't go fine and as planned. I feel the same about privacy at home that's why i lock myself up in the room. I don't really know if there is a solution for that other than time. Give urself some time and try to think positive about the things YOU see good in ur life, not what people tell u are good.
good luck :]

It sounds to me that you are bored with you life as it is now and need a change. What I would suggest is that you visit your local college and get a prospectous.Have a good think about what you would like to do and enrol for a course.Your brain probably needs to be stimulated and what better way than education and knowledge. Get yourself a career that will soon pick your spirits up and help build your confidence and self-esteem. If you have an active mind put it to some constructive use. Knowledge is power.Give it a go.

You have been able to think clearly and it will pay off soon. One area of work you are missing is the services for the now new older population. Many single elderly have money and brains and don't want to sell all and go to retirement centers for the herd. They are willing to pay above average wages and rewards for assistance in their own homes. The jobs are menial at first until trust is developed. They too would be best to ask advise about matters of love and life that have been darkened for you. You need the light of the elderly.

Maybe you aren't happy where you are in life now. I am feeling the same way. My younger sis is going to college to become an orthopedic surgeon. I don't like going home because I feel like she won't look up to me like she used to. All of my younger siblings seem to be happy and have great careers. I think it has a lot to do with jealousy. I get depressed then I am really happy. My husband is starting to worry. Try talking to a doctor.
Maybe you should try to get your own place or apartment.

It is actually fairly easy to develope a saleable skill, like; computers. If you understand one program; Word, you can have a decently paying job. And Word is a bit of a pain, but it is Not Brain Surgery.
If you use Search engines, you can get a lot of FREE INFOMATION/EDUCATION right here online.
If, say, you were to get an early copy of Vista, and learn it well, you could probably find well paying work right away.
It is but one (admittedly geeky) example of free web education. Google that sometime ; FREE WEB EDUCATION enter, or send. You will be amazed at what you find.
