What should I do with my life?

Question

Dear Abby,
I am a 31 year old female. I have been with my husband for 6 and a half years. We've been married more than four. That's not the problem. The problem is that at 31, I still don't have a clue as to what to do with my life. I finished high school but didn't finish college. I dropped out several times. The problem is that I've had depression, anxiety and insomnia for a long time. I, also, feel that I have ADD. I have started several projects but didn't finish them. For some reason, I lose interest in just about everything I do. I don't know what my problem is. I am frustrated. I had dreams of becoming a singer and actress, but, sometimes, I think I'm living in a fantasy. I feel like I'm getting old and my time is passing. Amongst my jobs, I have worked mostly as a waitress. I once had a job as a hospital unit secretary and a clerical job at a travel insurance company that lasted a year and a half (my longest). I feel like I've accomplished so little. What should I do?

Answer 1

Yeah, you're getting old and life is passing away. Welcome to a very large club. Everyone I know is a day older than they were yesterday. I'm 54 and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up but that doesn't let me off the hook today, and tomorrow, or the day after that, or even what happened 2 months ago. The truth is very few of us have any sort of dream life, but we still have bills to pay and kids to raise. you want some cheese to go with that wine. Pack the bags , we are going on a quilt trip. I just feel so sorry for you I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight.

Answer 2

What caught my attention here was the insomnia, ADD, etc.
I have a home business that markets a product that could really help you with those things. It comes with medical validation as well.
I started taking this product after 2 years of chronic insomnia, which of course lead to anxiety and other things as well. When I started sleeping through the night, after 2 days of this, I was sold. I decided to turn it into a business helping others with the same or similar problems and it is going exceptionally well.
I would be happy to show you how this works and can possibly turn your life around both medically and financially.

Answer 3

Dear Pity-party,

Poor baby. I was 49 when I finally decided what I wanted to be in life. Whether I get it or not remains to be seen. But, I'm moving out of a place I like (and have lived in for almost 4 years), and at the end of spring, quitting my job (which I've had for as long, and I like), and moving out of state, with the intention of getting married shortly thereafter. What I'll do when I get where I'm going, I'll find out when I get there. Point is, I'm taking that chance.

Life isn't worth living if you don't TRY.

Answer 4

Look at yourself in the mirrow. Are you neat, clean, well gromed, well dressed. Getting hired in the best jobs requires you to look great for the first impression. Take night classes - they look good on resumes. Put a smile on your face and even a woman needs to give a firm handshake when interviewing. Simple things matter.

Answer 5

don't feel alone - i'm right there with you.
i also would like to know what our problem may be.
i'm so tired of feeling like a failure - - i always fall back on bartending - though i've worked in the insurance industry.
my longest job was 4 years - - i don't know what the deal is.
i'm 37 - - i feel like a lost soul.
good luck to you.

Answer 6

I think you should go to a psychologist, but if you don´t want to do so , I recommend you to read a book called "wake up" written by Anthony De Mello, it helped me a lot ;) .

Answer 7

Quit living, it sounds like you have quit just
about everything else you started.
