Q: Ending

Oh god things are difficult!
I want my old life back!!! Before my breakdown, before depression took over, before I needed to go on medication and therapy, before the memories of the abuse i've suffered became too much.
I want it all back!!
I'd made something of myself. But now 4 years later no one will even look at my cv. I don't even get rejection letters.
It's making me so tired.......So tired of everything.
My wife and people keep telling me to keep fighting and keep going. I've been fighting my whole life and I don't want to anymore.

Hi mask-

whoa! Step back a second!! Alright... What happened to get you to this point? What are you not doing that you miss so much?

You cannot let your past ruin your life- do you have any goals- or if there was anything you could do...What would it be and why?

Don't throw yourself to the wind, friend- things will get better for you- I am hear to listen/talk. Life is hard- no one said it was easy! But... It seems like you are restricting yourself...Is there something like a sport/hobby you are not doing anymore that is making you feel this way?

What is cv? Resume? Wow... Guess what I do for a living? I am a vocational consulor. I help people get jobs.

Perhaps if you wouldn't mind- could you send me a copy of your resume? Do you have a portfolio as well?

I'd love to help - pay it forward Smile

pm me -=red=-

Hi missdepressed,
yeah a cv is the same as a resume.
The thing i'm not doing anymore is earning enough money. Which is killing me since i'm married now with a baby daughter. We are in so much debt now its making me sick with worry.
I was an it consultant. I have an honours degree in computer science. But it seems, that after being out of the field for four years due to a nervous breakdown and other things, now the degree isn't worth a thing. I cant even get a basic office job.

As for what has happened to me up to this point is a long story.
If you really want to know the full story then let me know.

What would I like to do? I'm still not sure. I'm interested in psychology. I want to study it but that costs money which I cant get without a job. I also used to like writing but I find it hard to keep my mind focused on much for too long at the moment.
Restricting myself? How do you mean?
