LMAO That's off the top of my head - If not management, I'd work two jobs at a time - one job for bills, one for life...

I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up! Or go back to work - But I keep trying, and I love to LEARN : )

Boat detail-er. How does one get that job? Did you take a class on it? lol.

I've had a lot of jobs myself but right now I am unemployed, on disability and sort of scared into a corner :(. I currently don't WANT to do anything.

I've worked most of my life and am now retired on Social Security. I wouldn't try to work or go to school until
you feel more settled and confident in your mood. At 30 you have a lot of life ahead of you so don't make bad decisions.

of course you don't - you'd rather sit and think of every bad thought, before and during, and planning bad thoughts for the future..

Your depressed, sounds like severe depression to me - having spent way too long there (((BIG HUG))))

Today sucks, do nothing is ok - but doing one thing different, could help!!!! : ) Me? I joined this group, that and changing meds more aggression - than you pdoc's - changed everything.

But it took calls, support and fighting me pdoc - that this dull ache was not acceptable... I hope you find your fighter under all that melancholy.... everything seems to take forever, because we are barely living, or moving, or trying... I pray for you Change!!!! Hope and some relief : )

My heart goes out to you , I do understand having alot of jobs but never a career, I never been able to hold down a job for very long , for awhile I was averaging 3-4 jobs a year.
Done so many different things too.
For right now I don't blame myself to much I have an illness that just strikes me out of the blue , whether it be depression or hypo -manic stuff.
I'm just trying to live in the now , Am I happy today ? Did I do the best I can ? For me I can't worry to much about the future.
Today is what counts for me . Hugs

Thanks Gina. I've done nothing for months. I feel like a loser and yes I have severe depression and suicidal thoughts :(

i've been through a lot myself-i'm currently on ssdi but i don't want to give up on hope-hope is what keeps me getting out of bed each day!

Don't be so hard on yourself. If you can't work then you have a disability like me. I am sorry about the severe depression. Cam you make an appointment with your PDOC about med changes? I was severely depressed on Cymbalta and got relief when my med was changed to effexor. Don't harm yourself. Beat depression in the pants and hang in there as this does not last forever.

I went to college and graduated I have my bachelors n en nursing and afterwards, decided I didn't wanna do that at all. now, I work at Progressive and hate it just as much. to answer your question, it can be done (I'm 32) but, make sure its something u wanna do.
start off taking a few, basic classes and see a counselor...they get paid to help. one step at a time.

Don't give up on yourself. Just because where you are in your life now kind of sucks doesn't mean it will be that way forever. I'm 30 and have never had a career either. You probably need to work on yourself for a while first. Then ideas will come to you once you're feeling better,
