In reply to What I sometimes wish..., posted by Penny on December 8, 2003, at 10:26:48
Penny,
I wish I could surround you with a net of happiness that will keep you from spiriling down into the pit.
The people who tell you to learn to love your job, have never had a job they completely hated. I base all my self esteem on career success and I'm a career failure. I think I go to job interviews as a form of self-injury.
I understand the hurt you feel from your job. My therapist has suggested that I do volunteer work so I feel needed. So far I'm ignoring that, but maybe it would help you. You could work at an animal shelter as a dog walker. I know where I live they are always in need of volunteers.
I know, it's hard to motivate yourself for anything, when you hurt so much.
Don't spiral all the way into the pit, grab that net and hang on. Your dogs need you and we need your good advice and understanding.
