Career

Being drained is not a recipe for good health.

I feel rather depressed. I’m not doing anything important and have not yet found another job. But most of all, I miss having a sense of purpose and identity.

Should I find another profession? Maybe I’m just not cut out to be a teacher.

As the months have gone by, I've become discouraged and despondent.

My boss has just promoted me from a job at a desk at an advertising agency to a position where I will have more contact with clients. I'm a shy person by nature, but my boss seems to believe that I have the skills to chat up clients and make them want to work with us. I'm afraid I'm not going to do a very good job.

I have been offered an opportunity for a good new job which would require making many changes in my life. The problem is that I really hate change.

This woman’s presence just dominates the workplace like an insidious cloud. I literally feel that she is a threat to my emotional and spiritual wellbeing!

However, I hate my job and would love to do something creative. I know that in this economy leaving a well-paying job would be ridiculous...

I am significantly younger than a lot of my co-workers and those I am directing. In most cases I am young enough to be their daughter! I am not uncomfortable about it, but it clearly seems that they are...

I work for a very intimidating man who is demanding and rarely appreciative. It seems I can do no right and I hate the work environment. At the same time, my office is right near my house and it pays well so I do not really want to look for something else...

I found what I thought was the perfect job a few years ago and have dedicated myself tirelessly to it. But, recently, I find that I am just burning out and not sure if this is what I should be doing any longer...
