Hi Fi,

Well this is something that in general I am struggling to come to terms with. And I think alot of other posters here too.

At the moment, I'm not in a job, but the one prior to that I was hopelessly overqualified for, but I liked it and I left because I had to move up north.

Now, I'm hoping to do a masters and then get a 'professional' job - my background is in geology and all professional geology jobs require you to have a masters. But I don't know if I could cope with a masters. Or that I'd even be able to cope with a 'professional' job.

I dunno its quite depressing really. My fellow classmates now have snazzy jobs in london and er, I don't. And the thing that is frustrating is that I was just as good as they were, if not more so than some of them, at least. And I can't get it together to get a basic admin job, let alone anything more serious.

I don't know. I try to view this as a proper illness y'know you wouldn't be so hard on yourself if you had diabetes or something. But then, its frustrating and maybe somewhat in the nature of the diease to be less than optimisitic about things.

I try to say to myself that I'm young (25) I still have 40 years of work ahead of me blah blah blah. Oh well.

Its very hard to accept our illnesses for sure - I fully sympathize.

Kind regards

Meri
