Yes first world problem I know but it's really getting me down so much I genuinely feel mildly depressed. Tears at the smallest thing, I have no energy, everything seems just a bit too much.
Basically I've been in the same job for over a decade. I used to love it but gradually fell out of love when I got promoted and didn't get decent work. So went and had kids. I came back knowing that I didn't want to do this anymore but with a non-sleeping baby I struggled to do more than keep the job ticking along.
For the last year I've been job hunting and made a few applications. I've managed one unsuccessful interview and that's it. I feel like I'm going to be washed up - one of those old timers that the young ones laugh at.
To top it all off because I don't like my job, I feel so terrible about leaving my children so I can work for hours in a job I hate. I have to work the hours as we're in debt due to pay cuts etc etc.
Anyway I ramble. I wondered if anyone can inspire me with their tales of getting new jobs after stagnating?!
