Time to change?

[chennakie]

I have worked in my present firm for over 10 years. I have during that time had no pay rise, and taken over the work of a colleague who "left" due to misconduct. I don't feel that I have had any recognition for my work and dedication to the firm. I was offered a partnership to discover that I had been by-passed on reading a general e mail to the staff, and now a new member of staff has been added who has maybe 20 years less experience than me and has been made head of department (and so I anticipate that he is being paid more). I was told that the partners didn't think I'd want the job but was never asked.

I have lost all motivation and don't feel like doing anything. I no longer do my hobbies and I am overeating (my attempts to diet tend to be thwarted by outside influences - e,g, going away with friends and to social event and feeling that I have to join in).

My husband and I are making positive steps to move and probably retire. I have lived in my current home for 40 years and its hard for me to do this, but I know it's the right thing to do and hope i will be happier. In the meantime however I just don't want to be in work, but know that I have to do it because i have a responsibility to my clients.

Can anyone help give me the motivation I need to get on with life?
