Stress Center Peer Support

Hello all,

ever feel defeated? well thats where I am now. I am in a marriage where I feel invisiable, my opinion thoughts or concerns don't matter. I have been job hunting for quite a while, I can't seem to find the right employment position.

I left a stressful job in hopes of taking care of me. Since then all the opportunities are either a long distance away or the hours are dreadful. I just don't know what else to do. I have good and bad days. Some day I just cry other days I job hunt for hour at a time sometimes 8hr.

I pray and I pray and I beg. At times I feel God has had enough of me. He helped me through higher education, and has sustained me thus so far. But I am afraid I let go of too many opportunities and now I am stuck wondering how am I going to get back on tract. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have been there and one thing I've learnt is that life is constantly changing. Just because you feel helpless right now like nothing is going right, doesn't mean further down the road things will be good again. It's SO hard to see in the moment. I HATE my job at the moment but then I have to remind myself that I hated jobs in the past and went on to some really wonderful positions that I still miss. Another good one will pop up.

Future,
I know where you are coming from. God sustained me through college and getting my CPA and today I'm disabled wishing desparating to go back to work. WHY? WHY ME????

I will skip the details and say one of the biggest boosts I get is to have our pastor remind me that God has placed me right where I'm supposed to be at this point in time and for a very good reason, regardless of what I think. A million moms would love to be able to stay home with their kids like me and all I wish is for the opposite. I love my kids, but wasn't cut out for the craziness of home in the country life.

I guess I'm just trying to say that God has plans for you and you are on a stepping stone to the next place He will take you. Hang in there and keep the faith.

Hello everyone,

thank-you for all your support, it means a great deal. I wish everyone happiness and success. I truly believe I will be fine.

Good to hear, future- keep believing and striving- good things will come soon!
