Lost

[Tab]

Lately I've felt lost in life, not to mention quite lonely. Third year university starts next month and after that I only have 1 more year left. Then I have no idea what I'm going to do. I don't have a career lined up or a plan at all. I've got no one to talk to about these things. I've got no goals other than get a job and make money, stuff like and no clue on the steps to get to those goals. What do people like us do? Settle for what ever happens? I know if I do that I won't accomplish much. I feel like theres so many things I could do if it wasn't for this. I could make something of myself and become someone other people would want to be.

I've got nothing. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon and it really pisses me off I can't do a damn thing about it.

Well, my situation is the same as yours basically. I couldn't have said it better myself. It's a relief to see someone else is going through the same things as I am! I guess we just have to keep working at it, and not overthink where we'll end up in life.

I have just turned 29 and nearly finished my degree. I am scared that I will have to find a job where I have responsibility and need to interact with various people. I am just hoping that I will get this amazing brain wave and invent something or do something where I can be self-employed. Dreams are free (and all that shit).

the most important thing about future career is to ask yourself one and only one question: What i love to do? and than just start doing it...sounds weird but its worth doing. I ended up having kinda good job (money wise)...but extremely borin...it kills me everyday to get up and go to this meaningless work....be ther stuck all day ... come back with no satisfaction whatsoever. so please dont make the same mistake as me, make your wise choice...make yr career something passonate ...something u love...may take a while to figure it out .but its what matters .....and trust me its never to late to start something new

I sort of fell into my computer job. When I started college my adviser recommended I apply for the computer lab. I thought, there is no way I could do that job. Sure, I'm good with computers, but not that good. BUT... I went ahead and did it... and found out I was good at it. There are allot of people that don't know really simple things on the computer. After I graduated college, I took a support job. Found out I could do that well too. Now I'm in a QA job. Found out I could do that well just the same. Just try whatever it is you want to do!! Even if you don't feel qualified. You'll get the necessary training on the job and then you'll be goin' places!

Don't feel bad I work at Taco Bell. Someday I dream of being manager but I don't think I will ever have the social skills to run a restaurant and manage workers.

Take care Tab, this situation can change - you only need to believe in that.

Why don't think about some sort of medication therapy? :?:
The SSRI drugs, for example, can supress your phobia and anxiety...
