Think i may have blew my trumpet too soon ... today i feel like utter crap! All i want to do is cry for some stupid reason :cry: I keep thinking of food ... how much i just wana big gobfull of that carbonara pasta bake i made for the bf in the fridge ... obviously i wouldnt, and i'd never but today is tough!!!
Been watching sex and the city boxset and a few personal issues have come to light and i think thats whats making me feel so low! Im 22 and feel like my life is going nowhere.
Ive got a degree i worked 4 flippin years for (it was by mistake that i got accepted into uni in the first place) and nothing to show for it. Im stuck in a dead end job with no chance of progressing and i sit on my ass for 5 hours a day typing constant postcodes and localities.
Sorry for being a downer today guys - lets hope tomorrow is a better day :fingerscrossed:

Positivity is the key
Hi Tanya, I saw this on the other forum and pasted my answer on here too, hope you are feeling a bit better by now.
Sorry you are having an off day, you are normally so bright and bubbly but I suppose it happens to all of us sometime.
I think you understand yourself well as it may be coinciding with the graduation, it is a big deal but does signal the end of a particular part of your life.
Without being motherly (oh I can't help it, it's bred into me now) you are 22 a whole 20 years younger than me and although I wouldn't wish much of the last 20 years ( save the last 2 away) it is nice to dream I have it to live over again.
You have talked about moving, immigrating before and perhaps this is an area you will revisit again. I know in this time of recession people will tell you to stay put, you are lucky to be working and all that but you have to feel that for yourself. I know you are working full time but one bit of good advice I heard before was to volunteer on your time off in another field, esp if it was something you wanted to explore as a possible job.
Also look at the possibility of retraining, with a degree it is easier to move into a chosen field a bit further up the ladder. Try to visit a career guidance firm to get some external help.
Ok advice bit over, sorry for droning on.
Other than that you are doing very well, congrats on resisting the lure of the food, you know you can do this in your sleep.
Hope tomorrow is a brighter day for you.

aw thankyou doirin - its just getting me down because all the jobs i want to do require experience - there was a job at dartmoor prison the other day, housing officer and i know i would love it and be good at it but i needed a years experience under my belt! I dont even know how to go about gaining experience in that field so maybe looking into career advice firms are part of my answer :sigh:
i am gratefull that i do have a job at the minute as i know there are many out there that dont and are crying out for one - but ive been doing it for 4 years and always said i wana be out once i finish uni - now that time has come and i am nowhere near getting out of that dreaded place! lol thankyou though :hug99: your words are very much appreciated xxx

What's your degree ???
Sorry to hear how you are feeling hun! It is hard sometimes....I met with some friends tonight I hadnt seen for weeks. They only live along the road and found out they had a bad flood in their house whilst they were on holiday..and well, the house is a total wreck and needs rebuilding inside.....I just wanted to say, "come on, lets crack open a bottle"..and I dont even drink normally. I felt it big time!!
Sometimes little things trigger things off, and really, what we are doing as in eating nothing is so alien and not natural really, so it is no wonder we go through a whole load of emotions.
Cry your wee heart out if you need to, and moan groan but dont lose your goal..which I know you wont.
It has taken me years to love my job...I am now 43 but I think, unfortunately, it is not what you know, but how you know these days that gets you places.....sad, really, but so true....can you network with people that maybe could help you along in your line of work.
Re: prison work;i am sure you can volunteer....this would give you a door in. This is how I got into rehabilition work many years ago..sorry, cant get the italics off now!! hahah.....
Keep smiling sweetie, but we all have bad days but at least you are helping yourself by posting.
Doirin has given some brill advice there, as always too
Take care

Ah thanks scots - i didnt cry, takes alot for me to actually blub out the tears but i feel miles better today
I have just applied for 3 volunteer positions; one at dartmoor prison helping prisoners record/write/act out short stories for them to be able to send to their kids. Another being an appropriate adult for those who are considered youths that have no representation when arrested so an appropriate adult is called in in order to make sure they recieve and understand all their rights etc. And the final one being working with offenders to help them identify the issues causing them problems and then putting them in touch with the relevant agencies.
:fingerscrossed: i hear back from one of them!

HI TAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!
Well done on that FAB loss sweetheart ... WOW!!! Go You!! Amaaaaaaaaazing that you've lost more than half of your summertime gain in just 1 week!
Sorry to hear you've been suffering but really glad you seem to be coming out of it. No bad thing to make you shout at those lazy rule-breakers though!
Those positions you've applied for sound REALLY interesting! A shame in some ways that they're voluntary, however any one of them will give you invaluable experience which can only help your CV. Good Luck! Let us know WHEN you hear xx

I know - more than half in one week but i now have to think that just because i gain cant mean i can go straight back to tfr so the healthy eating and stuff is going to take me a long time to grasp but im hoping i will get there once i finish LT this time and be able to maintain like you and mary
I sure will let yous all know about the voluntary stuff - you just know im guna be dead excited and not be able to hold it in!! :giggle:
