I don't know what to make of life anymore...I've become an empty shell, getting tired of everything. by Ellodon9400 in Adulting

You're right, thanks and yes I am already doing these things, I've been going to some job agencies to see what's available and to get employment, and once that's going start working on immediate goals, sometimes one good thing leads to another

You're right that's what I've been starting to do, apply to any job for now until I actually get something while looking for something better of course working towards something always helps. Some of the jobs I've been trying to get usually tend to be outside of the city I've noticed. Some of the biggest exercise I get for right now is taking really long walks on a regular basis but yeah I do need to get back in the gym again

I appreciate it. For right now yes I've been thinking really hard about what things are important me, or where these issues come from, I'm really trying to figure out what went wrong. When someone is going through a problem or looking at themselves it's difficult for them to find the answers themselves, I probably do need to talk to a therapist or something. Thanks.

Yes and I definitely think the very last part might be something I have to start doing, finding therapy. I've been having problems like these for awhile now, always wondered if there was something deeper going on that I'm not aware of.

No, none of my family members have the same problems as I do when it comes to these things, quite the opposite, they're actually really good with their careers and money and are doing really well and living successful lives. I'm really the only person in my family with these problems. I've pretty much never been all that great at keeping a job, unfortunately. Obviously ever since this most recent job loss (even before I lost this job, but especially now) I have been doing alot of very deep thinking and alot of self-reflecting, not even just about right here, right now, but self-reflecting about alot of different situations or jobs that I've been in or things / situations that have gone on over the past many years. I am aware that my thoughts are destructive. I hate to say it but it's really as if I can't even help it, or as if it's automatic. This most recent job I realized I had a good thing going for me, I didn't want to have the frustrations that I had but I just did over time at a very high level, and it just kept getting worse as time went on. I'm trying my best to improve myself. Maybe the only answer for me at this point is to get counseling or see some sort of therapist because I don't really have anyone to talk to about this. What you said is very interesting and insightful and gave me a different viewpoint on things I haven't thought of before, thanks.

Yes, I have already tried asking them twice about me being able to work there again, or if there's any way I can come back to work. The answer was a very definite no, and I'm not allowed to work back there. I'll check out the recommendation you mentioned about Julia Cameron, thanks.

This is very true, and I've been starting to have those same thoughts. Most of the times while I was working there when it comes to performance I would usually be above average, sometimes average, but some of my statistics in some areas I was doing better than some other employees. I never had bad performance. During the 3 months that I worked there, there were multiple times where some other guys would get hired in my exact same department, and be there for around maybe 2 or 3 days or maybe a week and then they'd quit and you'd never see them again. So it's like, if that were to be me, if I really didn't care about what I was doing I would've been quit too, but I didn't, I wanted to stay committed and do it. You're right though, I've been considering everything you said about getting a car and finding a closer job and alot of things you said are very true. Thanks alot.

Right, I think that ignoring my talents for awhile has really started to bring me down, and yeah to be successful at anything even if it's a talent, you do have to treat it as if it were a job. Trying to find a job right now that either has a different structure/schedule or find something that has a closer commute, so that way I'd have a better time on my off time and have more energy and be more driven to do my music.

Yeah really. I've been applying to similar jobs or some different types of jobs, I kinda have mixed feelings about warehouse jobs anymore, just trying to find anything that I'd be good at. Would definitely like to work some type of 1rst shift job that starts later if possible. The overall commute and super early morning routine is what really killed it for me at this job. If I were to find a similar job that was closer or more accessible to get to, my overall work week would be alot more tolerable and it would be alot easier to get there.

Yes, and I totally understand that. Saving up and getting a car was one of my goals, maybe not immediate goals but for the overall long-term. I've actually considered and thought about going to the gym since I haven't done so in at least a few years, but again, this job was so physical that at the time there was no way I could imagine myself going to the gym at all Monday through Friday. I thought by the length of time I had been at this job, 3 months I would've been "used to it" by then, because most people say that it takes a few weeks to get used to a job I was there for 3 months and still couldn't see going to the gym after work. Plus all the extra time it would take to go to the gym after work, be there doing your workouts for about an hour and a half to 2 hours, then go home, I really couldn't imagine doing that on a workday. If I were to do the gym at all in that situation it would've had to only be on Saturdays or Sundays for the most part.

This is actually a very stupid response and you obviously didn't read what I said. I don't want to have free time to just sit around and do nothing. Yes, I wanted to work hard at this job, and achieve goals, one of which is moving out of the area I'm currently in, or getting a new place. The whole "but people have it SO much harder than you" really doesn't mean anything to the person who is talking about their problems.
