Advice required - feeling disillusioned with life...

Dunroamin

I'm sorry that you're unhappy and hope you can work something out but, from an outside perspective, you seem to have a lot going for you already. You have your long term school friend (although why you can't see her on her own puzzles me a bit), your internet (male?) friend, social (not quite) friends, people you see through social networking and your occasional and casual dates - that doesn't seem bad going to me, particularly with a challenging and financially rewarding job as well.

Caeler - Work does have a employee phone service like yours, I am a bit scared to actually call it too I've tried focussing on being happy and confident and sometimes I am. At the moment I'm not; probably the reason I posted.

I've not called yet either!! I keep telling myself I can get myself back up but each time it gets harder so I really should call because it will probably help. Realistically I won't, far to scary to confront what is causing my feelings!!

Life is funny, isn't it? Im in the opposite boat - I'm 25, have a career in hyper drive, live in exotic places for work and have essentially never been single. But I suffer the same feeling of drifting discontent. I think sometimes it has nothing to do with your outside stimuli and is more about your internal state of affairs. I've yet to get it right but I wish you the best of luck!

Awwww bless you. Wait until you hit 30!! At 25 my career was in hyper drive with a wonderful husband supporting me but 5 years later I'm settled in middle management knocking on the door of senior management and have got far more to loose. Relationship ended because I was too career focused apparently. Anyway, I'm not bitter - simply recognising that life can be hard sometimes which is why I often feel guilty about feeling low because I do pretty well for myself. I do agree with your thoughts about 'internal state of affairs' hit the nail on the head for me. The cancer diagnosis hit me harder than I realised last year.
