I Need to Vent

I graduated college almost 5 months ago and yet I'm still at my current job. This job searching life is much more difficult than I expected. I hate how overwhelmed I am at my current job, which hinders my ability to apply for jobs *no free time*. Besides that, my boyfriend and I are in two different volumes in our life. He's successful, rich, happy while I am running with my head cut off.

I feel guilty wanting to confide in him with my problems. Like I told him today I feel as if I must upkeep this image of who he thinks I am while maintaining this idea of who I think I am. I'm disappointed with myself because I KNOW that I am capable of more. I'm upset because I have no idea where my life is heading. I'm confused because I'm not sure what my boyfriend wants from me. I'm lonely because I no longer make time for myself, friends, or even my wonderful girlfriend. I'm scared because I don't have a plan anymore.
Two thoughts...

You shouldn't need to conceal your innermost fears and thoughts from a boyfriend, unless the relationship isn't very solid.

Depending on your style of tackling issues, sounds like you need to do some intensive thinking about your options and desires. There are a lot of good books available that will help you wrap your arms around different ways to approach this kind of situation. Try to locate an approach that feels good to you, and give it an honest effort.

What do you want? Figure that out first. Then see how that works out with your boyfriend.
