I took 4 days off of work and I can honestly say I resent my job at a soul level

I needed a break and I felt peace, I felt free. Today was my first day back and I went right back into the hate my life depression spiral. I felt angry again and annoyed and my happiness was gone. I know I need a new job but what? That's just it I don't know what will make me happy anymore.

What other skills do you have? What do you enjoy doing?

@Musicman Art and music are what I love doing. I love painting and drawing mostly and photography. In the past I've done prep and line cook work, fast food and retail.

@separatetheheart How did you like those jobs? Is your work good enough to sell?

@Musicman I was trying to become a tattoo artist in my early 20s but got disillusioned and gave it up. I think I could sell my work I'm not sure never tried. I didn't like fast food or retail and I really liked my kitchen job until management changed and it became stupid central.

@separatetheheart Have you ever considered working in the construction trades? Heat and air conditioning is literally a licence to print money.
