Looking For help

[seekinghelp74]

I have never done anything like this. I feel as though im in the wrong career to make people happy, I also feel as though I am in the wrong relationship. I have resentment over career issues and I feel as I have had to hide part of myself from the start.

Hello seekinghelp74,

Welcome to our supportive community. Well done for taking a brave step out of your comfort zone to reach out for help. Hopefully you will find folks here are only too willing to come alongside you and share from their personal journeys and experiences. Do check out our Pinned Post section for free mental health guides, international crisis support helplines etc.

You are obviously having a difficult time trying to cope with your feelings re work and relationships, with the one may well impact the other. But maybe it's too much to deal with both simultaneously, and focusing on getting help and advice for just one of them would be good. There are Career Advisors if you search your local directory or Google, whom you could have an impartial chat with, to look at your strengths, weaknesses, interests, likes etc.

Keep in touch! Ok folks what can you suggest to help this new member?

Best wishes,

MAS Nurse

Hello, you are sounding very down and not sure which way is up or forward.. There seem to be several issues, but without more info it is hard to know what you need, and you are in need. It is not easy though to be open when this might feel like a shot in the dark.

What is happening with work, how is your relationship, and how are you x

I always had a dream job that I’ve loved for years. My family and relationship haven’t supported it. Everyone has pushed me towards the family business. The family business is a great job, but it’s not what I want to do and making me miserable. I bought a house and have a relationship going for a couple years. It is everything that I was “supposed to do”. I have never felt the urge for this life. I have some fundamental differences with my relationship that scares me. She wants kids and I don’t know if I do. I’ve never felt like I can really open my whole self to her either. Just confused and upset. Thanks for the help
