Struggling again with going to work, I hate working idk how people do it for 40 years. I guess I'm looking for tips on how to get through it.

Well the ideal is to find a job you enjoy. Or at the very least one you don't mind too much. Try not to think too far ahead and concentrate on day to day living.

If you live in the past you live with regret, in the future you live with anxiety. But living in the present is a gift to be treasured and you will find balance.

What sort of work do you do?

figure out what exactly you hate about it, and then find a job that doesn’t have those things. Like if you hate getting up early every day, pick a job where you can go in the afternoon. If you hate interacting with the public, find a job behind the scenes somewhere. Good luck to you!!

Unfortunately working is one of those necessary things in life if you want a roof over your head and food to eat. It also gives us purpose in life. Is it having to go every day? Or is it something about the job you don't like? Maybe you can change what you're doing there to make it more tolerable. I'm a retired Occupational Therapist and was fortunate I really enjoyed what I did for so many years. I got to work in many different settings.

Boy, if you find out, let me know! I've quit so many jobs. Do feel that I like what I'm doing right now - I'm a pet sitter - but I don't make much $.

Not what you're looking for?
