Melt downs, tears, and self-doubt oh my!!

[jmillfades]

Today was not exactly the worst day ever nor was it the best, but it could have used some improvements, for example I could have gone the day without having a melt down at work. These children were really pushing me over the edge today, they do that sometimes, "How far can we go before Ms. Jessica looses her shit?" Okay I'm sure not in those exact

You don't seem happy at all.

If you are on the verge of a meltdown, it may be time to move on.

Yeah I know, but what keeps people at a crappy job? Comfortability, it's so easy just to stay put, cause of the hassle of looking for work, people get stuck in their comfort zones. But I am applying for another job, that has nothing to do with children. I actually shadowed my husband today and it was nice, we walked around the store talking to random people and most of the people were nice, except one who was rude, but it's okay cause at this job you could just walk away, at the day care if there's an angry parent you have to deal with their attitude and rudeness. Thanks for looking out :)

I know how you feel.

I worked almost 16 years on a job, and most of the years I hated it.

I remember sitting outside my building, dreading having to go in.

I used to secretly wish I would get into a car accident so that I would have time off.

Why did I stay?

I had great benefits and I was vested, and I most certainly did not want the hassle of looking for a new job.

Well I hope what your doing now makes you happy. We only live one life, so I plan on making it worth it.

It's rotten to deal with negative family influences as I know myself all too well. I think you are doing yourself proud in trying to go for a new job that makes you happier. Life is just too short to waste it on anything that doesn't make us feel happy, or at least reasonably content. Never let anyone try and take this away from you.

I'm an over thinker as well and I hear you on the online presence factor. I'm much more open online than with people I hardly know in person, online I feel as though I can be a more "social me" really. I relate to much of your words.

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words, I really appreciate it. I agree that life is to short to be unhappy all the time, we gotta do what's right for us and our well being.
