why do I feel really lost and unstable???


Question Posted Thursday May 27 2010, 8:55 am

Why do you I feel really lost and unstable???

For the past year and a half or so, Ive been going in and out of jobs...Ive had really bad luck finding a job that I really enjoy doing and settling into it.. I'm smart, creative, ambitious, intelligent and full of enthusiasm and nothing seems to be working for me... Because of this I'm obviously finding that I don't have any sort of routine in place as I don't have any money and I'm genuinely confused in what direction I'm going into... My energy has been very low and my partner is always criticizing me on this.. sometimes he's not the best when it comes to laying it down to me nicely and supportively and instead says it in a critical sort of way, which then makes me defensive and upset... Then he tells people that know me about my situation which I'm sure is all in good intentions but these people end up criticizing me saying that I'm all over the place and that I should be more stable.. I get very upset with this as I feel I could really use some of these peoples tips and advise and support. Rather than anyone coming to me to show they really care I just end up being criticized and told how weak and unstable I am. It bothers me how people are so quick to judge yet no one has the time to show some love and care.. this in return makes me have to explain myself more and it just looks like I'm just coming up with excuses. Ive seen many people that don't feel good about themselves and there lives, and because I'm a caring person I'm there for a person that really wants to talk and I dont judge because its very important for any human being to have someone that will just talk to them and not judge them because when someone is at there lows they don't need negative criticism etc. they need a bit of a boost and some advise.

It sounds like you're at sort of a crossroads. You are not happy where you are in your life and its affecting everything else. You're energy is low because you aren't feeling excited or motivated by anything. You need to take a little while and evaluate what you want to do with your life. Sit down with a piece of paper. On that paper, write down what you would do if you could do ANYTHING in the world. I mean ANY job. Don't think about all the reasons you couldn't do it. If you had all the time and money and ability, what would you do? Ok, now look at that. Now start writing down what steps you could take to start to get there. Need to go back to school? Need to find a job or internship in that area? Need to start working on the ground level of a company and work your way up? Start a business? My point is, you need to find out what you're good at and what you want to do. When you figure that out you're going to feel a lot better and people will start noticing that about you too. You have to be proactive and realize that it may take time and a lot of work, but you could really be working in a job someday that really makes you happy. Go for it. Don't listen to the negativity or people that will try do discourage you. You can do this and you just might even surprise yourself.
