Hi Poet -
I am new to the site and feel for you. I just left a career that I had for 12 years to be with my husband in a new country. He is the main bread winner right now and I TOTALLY understand the feelings of worthlessness. I am trying to learn, in my world, that my self-esteem and my self-worth are in no way tied to my job or the amount of money that I make. This is SO hard, especially with the amount of emphasis that society/media and even family sometimes can place on these things.
I am struggling with my self-esteem, as well as anxiety and depression. I send you a BIG HUG and try to have faith, that even though maybe you can't see it right now...there is a light at the end of this tunnel we are slowly wading through. We just need to get through one day, and sometimes on hour or even minute at a time.
Beatrix
