[QUOTE="jetsam, post: 699035, member: 20689"] being in a job you hate is the most awful thing! I worked at a job for years that i hated but couldn't leave. My husband worked in construction, and my job was the secure state job with great benefits that i couldn't leave because those benefits took care of my family. I would come home so mentally exhausted and drained. I finally found a hobby that i enjoyed (martial arts) and started filling free time with doing that. I would go to classes while dinner was in a crock pot or get up early on saturdays for classes while the rest of the house slept in lol Amazingly, finding something to do that i enjoyed suddenly gave me more energy, lifted my spirits and just made me so much nicer to be around. (according to my husband and children.) I continued with that until i retired ! I have to say i would be at work and when the anxiety and frustration would start I would think about an upcoming class or something that had transpired in class and i could actually feel the tension leave my body. I think if you could find something that would peak your interest to pursue it! It might be inconvenient to make time for it, but you may find that the benefits and the rewards outweigh the inconvenience. It can be anything! make jewelry, do cake decorating, draw, paint , write, anything that takes you somewhere else! Then pursue it wholeheartedly. It worked for me. good luck hope you find some peace.
