Ah Mair, you're good for me. I wish the people around me understood the issue at a gut level. My therapist intellectually understands it, but thinks the job is good for me (because it pays his fee perhaps) and stays annoyingly positive about it.
It seems so unAmerican almost to feel trapped. It's pounded into us at such an early age that we have so many choices. I see other people making choices and being happier for it. Our office manager (who had about the same reaction to the job as I do) quit years ago and seems like a whole new person.
My therapist wants me to come up with a list of actions that will help enforce the belief that I am capable at what I do. It really made me want to punch him. I remembered just why I hated CBT so. Right now the only goal I think I have a shot at meeting is to not fall asleep while actually driving. :(
