So last month I finally decided to pursue becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and found a position available at an assisted living facility affiliated with a local healthcare company. The company would cover the cost of the class, all materials, a physical, any required vaccines that I didn't have yet, and the actual State Board Exam I'll have to take to get my license....

I just quit my job, pretty much completely out of the blue. I feel weak, I feel worthless, and I feel like I am doing nobody any good by breathing. I am 42 years old, on my second marriage and have a 10-year-old son from the first. No matter how strong I want to think I have become by managing to somehow make it through...

Firstly ty so much for sharing, ok you're focusing on way too much at once. You need to mentally take a step back and just breath for a minute.. it sounds like your heads about to pop.. no one is useless fact!... you are not useless, you are just caught in this loop of so much negativity and pressure you have put on yourself to be perfect at everything.. your asking way too much of yourself at this point. I do feel that what you have written here may be good to say to your wife so she understands where you are at.. honesty is the best policy, and it will get you the right help, I do however feel your wife is correct some therapy and or medication will help in the short term.. you may have to just accept that..there are so many platforms and ways to reach out, you've just done that exact thing here. Meditation may also help, I use a process called 7 days of calm, helps stop my mind racing away with terrible thoughts, and brings me back in the now so to speak.use today as the first step to getting the help you need my friend and do not give in to those demons, some days you will win some you won't..but never stop trying, remember we all at some point search for a reason for our existence you are not alone in this.. Do not give in my friend and I hope you find your way out of the dark and back into the light..

I am already on an antidepressant for my bipolar. As well as Xanax as needed for anxiety, so medication is something I am already using. I struggle with therapy because it's easier for me to type what I'm feeling on a platform like this than to actually open up to a person that's in the same room as me. I appreciate your insight and will look into meditation. It's something I've considered in the past, so not a bad idea to consider it again. Thank you.
I've spent pretty much my entire life thus far not really knowing how to make friends. At least not friends of my own. I've made plenty of mutual friends over the course of two marriages, and I can get along well with coworkers, but that's not the same. That is not to say that I have never made a single friend, I've made two. Both...

Have a lot on my mind right now, as I am kind of in a weird place in my life right now. I don't know if it's a mid-life crisis or what, but I'm having inner commentary so to speak about how I want to make changes to my life. Plus I found out today I have a torn meniscus and have to get my...

I think go for your vet tech training as it sounds like in the long run it will help you get to work in the field you want. Perhaps you can still work part time at Wendys too after you train until you get a pay increase if you need to. But defo go for it so no regrets you knoe. Your wife sounds very supportive so I'm sure she will support whatever you want to do. And don't feel bad if she makes more than you at the moment when you are in love and a couple you are a team there is no such thing as who makes more just as long as you both contribute as much as you can. Best of luck and look forward to hearing updates on how it goes x
