Hi Penny,
I know how you feel. I am sort of in the same boat at the moment. My sick line runs out on tuesday and have told work I am going back. The problem is I don't want to go back. 1: I still don't feel well enough and 2: I hate my job. I need to find a new one but have huge problems motivating myself to look for one. On top of this I really need to find one by the end of the month, as my sick pay runs out then and I won't be able to afford to pay my rent.
My friends are very sympathetic and have given me some advice, but my problem is that I seem unable to make choices at the moment. (someone must have stolen that part of my brain). I have the choice to either go back to work and be financially stable again; find a new one and be financially stable again; or do neither and have to admit that I can't support myself and move back in with my parents. Aaaaaarrrgh! Not good choices are they? I also am applying for university this year, but can't seem to motivate myself to get the form filled in and the deadline is June 30th.
Sorry Penny, I am rambling on here and it isn't any help to you. All I can say is take one thing at a time and set yourself small goals to achieve. This gives you more pride when you achieve them and makes you more motivated. This is the advice my friend gave me and it does kinda work. I set myself the goal of telephoning 5 companies in one day and doing nothing else that day. I did it and I felt a bit better. Now that the application forms have come through I am setting myself the goal of filling in one per day. Hopefully this will help?Take care
Fiona
