Feeling lost

New job has taken over my mind and don’t feel like I have a life besides it. Don’t like the job much. And don’t know what I want at home either? Idk? Mind is blank about my own life.

At work: I just want to be done and go home.
At home: now what?

Well, try to clear your mind and think about things which make you happy.

How about doing some of THOSE?

@SomeMichGuy Yes, trying to clear my mind and tears come. Things which make me happy? You say it like it’s that simple. Anhedonia (sp?) -when things that used to make you happy don’t. When you have lost the ability to enjoy anything.

@SomeMichGuy I did have a cry. I also accused my sister of not caring when she said she was “busy”. I think it’s true but no way I’ll ever win that.

@SomeMichGuy I’m feeling better after I made my adult son listen to my plight and give his pov. I’m the kind of person who seems to need to talk to someone about things.

@Stuffy There's a reason Freud noted the so-called "talking cure"...

Long before him, people knew that sharing difficulties made them easier.
