In reply to Down day - need to reach out, posted by mark on July 31, 2000, at 11:14:05
I know exactly what you are feeling. I am the same way. I could do anything if I knew what it was. I'm so glad you reached out instead of trying to ignore your feelings, it's a good step. i left a job a few months ago in the throes of my depression and I regret it now. Only because I want to work but I don't really miss that job, I hated it. Can you financially handle leaving your job and looking for what you sould love?? If you can, some time not working might help you to focus, if you can't, try something new everyday or once a week and see if you get jazzed by anything. Try listening to your inner voice. It talks and tells you things all the time, sometimes we just aren't hearing it because we are distracted or too confused to separate it from our doubt voice. Talk to Rach or Greg about meditation, It can be helpful in the pursuit of your "path"
Keep reaching out though, we'll be here to listen.
Take care and I'm glad you posted.
hugs and peace
