Dont worry. Your stronger than me. I was so unhappy in my job that I resigned with nothing to fall back on. Thats how awful it was making me feel (still is, dont finish until next Friday).
I got very lucky and got offered a much better job immediately after.
Things do turn out better eventually, often when you least expect it.

I dont think I am stronger at all. I cant see me lasting too much longer there and I dont have anything to fall back on either. I just cant do it anymore, its awful :(

Id of been in my job 4 months when I leave next week. 4 months, so dont believe your not stronger than somebody! (or maybe im just a quitter).
I just couldnt do it anymore, it was really upsetting me, so your not entirely alone.
Dont do what I did and quit with nothing else to fall back on though. Just start looking around, and you'll find something soon enough.
Until then just think of the satisfaction your going to get when you give in your notice...

Charlie, you must get out of it all. It's not always easy, but you must

[astrofeline]

thank you for the kind words and advice *hugz*

All sensible advice. You have to get out of there if it's causing you that much distress. I am 100% happier now than in my last job - they did me a favour by firing me in the end, because I was so down and depressed all the time I didn't have the energy even to leave. There are better things out there, and you can do whatever you want to.

There are so many better jobs out there! It took me two years to get off my arse and get out of my last job and find something decent. My present job is not perfect, but it has prospects if I wk hard. I found that I hated my last job, but it was easy, whereas doing scarey job hunting and interviews was not easy! But it was worth it. Good luck with whatever you decide to do xx

Totally, on all counts! To be fair, I lied to myself about being able to deal with what I was doing before, and when I first began to think I wanted to stop, I didn't. I thought I'd never be able to find a safe, proper job because I couldn't think of a believable excuse for why I hadn't worked for six months, and I didn't particularly want to have to explain to a prospective employer that working as a hooker hadn't paid off. It just took a little bit of courage. I'm much happier now I've got a more steady job and I've actually picked up studying for my course again because what I really want to do is something creative with computers

If it would make you happier, take the risk! Nothing in the world is worth your unhappiness, which is a phrase I've been saying to lots of different friends for years. Do something with your creativity, you are clearly a very talented individual!

thank you for the good luck *hugz*

Charlie - i insist that as a lovely, lovely person, you MUST listen to me, Mark and Dylan! Come and make clothes and things with me, and we will sell them to nice people!!! ^^

i feel terrible/like a failure not having thrown myself into employment the moment i left Uni, but after holding down two jobs during my A levels - and ending up with glandular fever for a year - i truly know that i would find it... as you say : 'soul destroying'.

You are worth so much more than this - you are a beautiful and truly talented person. i love your artwork, and all the amazing clothes and things you make. Listen to your heart - do what you love! Follow your dreams.

After recent events in my life, i am now a firm believer in 'not leaving things too late'...

PS Mark has forgotten to take your pressie to Dylan AGAIN! Grrr! i will get it to you eventually! See you soon! *hugs*
