hi,
I lost my job about 4 months ago. I was on a final warning and it lasted over a year, then they renewed the warning for another year, which really annoyed me and thought it was very unfair. it lasted til april of this year and i got sacked. I have had 2 interviews in over 4 months, and its like bashing my head against a brick wall. I have been wanting to move to another field but this is proving fruitless.
I am 42 and live at home, and don't seem to be able to make the break that i truly need to make. Most people i know have moved away from the area and have married etc and gotten on with their lives but i have never really managed it for one reason or another. I am about to take on a course with the OU and dont really know if its the right thing to do now at my age, coupled with the lack of exp. i have in the field i want to work in. My brother went to the states years ago, and my dad passed in 2005. Nothing ever seems to move on or progress, i just seem to meander from one thing to another.
Since losing my job it seems i dont see anybody during the week or weekend , and is adding to my anxiety and dark moods. They seem controlled , but since losing my job it has got alot worse.
I don't know what else to do, i dont have the motivation or the energy to do anything. I want to get myself moving but dont seem to be able to. Feel so alone, and lost with myself.
It never seems to alter....
