newguy1008 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 These last few weeks have been odd for me. Havent had these feelings of helplessness in a long time. First there were my women issues that i had posted about last week which have subsided due to realizations i made, so thats good. My weekend was good and i had fun with friends but this morning that helpless feeling returned. I realized i wasnt 100% happy with my life, and i believe that is due to my job. I am a machinist, its a good gig that pays well but the shifts are long, 12 hours, and i work nights and i think that is starting to get to me. I dont want to do this anymore and need out. To add to that i have court this month for an ongoing dwi case that i had gotten a year ago. Still not happy with myself for this and although i am responsible in the sense that i dont drive intoxicated anymore, i feel that i need to quit drinking, even if its just for a month. I know this isnt much and that im lucky to have a job, but i cant help this feeling of being trapped. Sorry, just venting again. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Scorpio Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 First of all, there is nothing wrong with "just venting". Second, it's good to have goals to reach for and setting aside the sauce for a few weeks is a good one. Third, it is also good that you acknowledge your "luck" in having a job, especially one that pays well. Fourth, is anyone 100% happy with life? Other than buddhist monks?
