So low

I wish I could say I feel so happy on this Christmas day, but I don't. I feel terrible. This morning was wonderful, then it hit me that I was coming back here. And the second I walked into work, a massive migraine hit, I felt a huge weight on my shoulders, and I feel like crying. The wanting to cry hasn't stopped all night. I just want to sleep. This weekend was amazing. But it ended so fast and I was thrown back into everything that tears me apart. Everything about this place just ruins my mood and I instantly feel anxious and depressed (when I'm back where I live in general). Work makes it worse, but being away from my family and friends makes everything so horrible. I thought after my interview Friday that I might be able to get a call this week about a job offer and quit this job and move home and everything would get better. But they want a second interview first, which I get, and I'm happy that I got that, but I just need to get out of here. I need to be where people care and love me and I don't live every moment waiting for the next thing to crash down on me.

Try to be patient. With persistence you will get what you want, hopefully after that second interview. If not, there will be other opportunities to get where you want to be. Good luck

Hey, I'm so sorry the wonders of Christmas was quickly overshadowed by the weight of your current job. I understand the feeling of being so broken down by the environment, all you want to do is cry. It's a natural response when you feel defeated. However, potential for different work is something to be hopeful in and I hope it does turn out in a positive way. Keep pushing forward and give everything you have to the second interview. What other things can you do to help remedy your current work situation? What are some things outside of these hours that can be life-giving? I found when I was drowning at work, building a rich life outside of these walls was very beneficial for my heart and mind. Keep hanging in there!

    I have toys.  So the ones I have not used or need any more, are gone in the trash.  One of my toys is just a regular hand held massager with an attachment.  The other is a real insertable toy.  This morning I ordered a new toy with attachments.  It is small and has a brush like attachment and the other looks like a rose with a tiny tongue.  I'll get it in about 2 weeks.  Rechargable and...

    I can't believe this has gone on this long.  So I don't have much hope of getting a tech job, but I saw an educational job that I thought might be really good. It would have been working at a university supporting high school students who are taking college classes.  I did a mock interview with a friend and prepared extensively. It was at the university that I graduated from. I was very excited...
