Game over

[maroonpink]

O man I feel like a loser on results day. I have a degree and a masters degree in a field I don't have that much interest in anymore. I failed to get in to my course of choice , and that was 14 years ago 🙈 .

I am happily married and have 2 kids.

How can I stop feeling like this? I've done many jobs over my working life and now I'm a stay at home mum until they go to school. They're twins.

I feel like the game's over for me.

you still have a lot of your life ahead of you.
Many people have several careers and at the moment you are a full time mum, there is a lot of time left and you can still find something you are interested in doing that is not related to your degrees.
You might find that a part time role suits you when they start school.
You don't say how old you are, but things can still change again for you when they become teenagers or even leave home.
Don't give up!

Thank you. I'm 32. I had a well paying job and they just had to let go of me as there was no money in the pot - they let me go one day before they would've had to pay me redundancy. A lot of people that worked there were retired and claiming retirement and came back to work - it just felt so unfair.

I don't know why but everything has come flooding back today. I had done so well at university , got a good job that paid well and they just cut jobs like that.

Everything seems hard today and the twins are starting their terrible twos. I don't know. I wish life was easier and I just got what I deserved with the job. I had worked hard for it. How can I believe hard work pays off? I

You are so young! Of course it's not over for you!
I know people who have gone into training for new careers in their late forties. I started again aged 40.
Concentrate on where you are in life now but also look into options for future ventures. You have plenty of time.

Oh, thank you. It's just nobody asks about my plans anymore and I know it's because I'm not 18. But I just feel written off. I'm being silly. I am slightly over it today. Knowing that the universe is always working in my favour.

Don't rely on others to ask about your plans.
Unfortunately, once you have children people tend to think of you as just a mum. TELL people about your plans!
Don't have expectations about other people because it leads to frustration and disappointment. Yes, the universe is working in your favour but you have to be pro active and responsive.
Start a gratitude journal. It's not easy at first but be grateful for small things and it will build.
Life can change if you let it.

So true. Thanks. Need to let it happen
