identity crisis

I'm awed that you've stayed in one job for 6 years. My longest was about 4. One resource that's been helping me is addclasses.com. For $17 a month, you can get MP3s of 1-hour classes on a wide range…

identity crisis

Yeah... when things are challenging, I worry that people will expect me to perform consistently at a high level, and there's just nothing consistent about me (yet).

Can I vent? (also titled -I hate my boss) - kinda long

can you listen to your audio books with headphones on so she won't know what you're listening to?

that's awful! you deserve to vent about that - she was acting in a very close-minded way

Although I'm younger (26) I can relate. Intelligent people tend to get bored sooner anyway, so maybe you shouldn't chose a job below your skill level. If you really like math, I would just try to do a Phd. Don't worry about the future. I learned fro…

Yes, I feel the same. I jump from entry level job to entry level job. I've had some good starts that could have taken me places but i'd find an excuse because I was to overwhelmed at the pressure of doing well or pushing harder. I think I would be g…

I did become a nurse - but I couldnt handle the paperwork - Either I quit jobs too quickly or was fired - from at least 15 jobs (been a nurse for 40 years) I was always the marginal nurse -Each new job - I would think - this is a great job - I know…

I understand what youre saying. I ve wondered about this for some time. I seems like most people graduate, start a career or job hop for awhile, then settle on something, date for awhile, get married, have children or not, stay with the same job for…

BB In Bellevue replied to Karen L's discussion 'Lists'
I've bought a plastic file-folder-thingie and started dropping my lists in it (except for the computer ones and grocery list). It helps me to have a place to put them, maybe because I don't have to worry about losing them or remembering that I made…

BB In Bellevue replied to Sarah Irvine's discussion 'Does Anyone Take a stimulant with An Anit depressent?'
I'm taking Adderall and Cymbalta; my doc says that they work well together. The Cymbalta definitely helps my depression, at least at first (just started it again about a month ago - was on it for awhile and went off it in January to get brain scans).

identity crisis
I feel as i I've been going through an identity crisis my whole life. (I'm 46.) Anyone else feel that way? I haven't found a career that's satisfying. I let circumstances take me from job to job without really having a plan (or not for long). I got…

BB In Bellevue replied to Karen L's discussion 'Am I addicted to money?'
I should add... I've been spending pretty impulsively again lately (lost 40 pounds and have been getting new clothes, for instance) so need to rein myself in again - don't know if this will be a continual struggle, suspect it will.

BB In Bellevue replied to Karen L's discussion 'Am I addicted to money?'
I have impulse control issues with money, too, and have had a therapist call it addiction. I got out of credit card debt last year, finally, by being very conscious about it. There is a book about ADD and money (I got it but haven't read it yet :) -…
