A female United Kingdom age 36-40, *achakaRoni writes:

I'm not satisfied with my life. I never am happy- well not for long. I only want little things in my life to be right but they never do and other people always have it easier- they get things handed to them on a plate or get things easier for example, my brother.

I want a job I enjoy but it never seems to happen and the people have to be nice in the job too but I cant seem to get both of these things- it seems vertially impossible for me. I wanted a job in travel and got one abroad that I am currently at but, Ive had enough it drains me, the people have gone a bit bitchy and the job isn't what I expected. I know I wont be happy at home either but Id rather be there now. I don't want to go back to my job at home coz thats not a good job either and alot of the people I worked with arent there anymore. I don't know what to do when I get back home coz I don't like where I live but my family and a guy I really care about is there but Im just not happy otherwise with work and friends.

Ne advice wud be gratefully received.

Thanks

Many a time we all feel like this, and I would say that especially at a young age when we start work. Most young people have expectations about work and when they start working realise that work is not what they expected. You are young, so you have the ability to change to another job, especially now that probably you do not have other worries like a mortgage, family to make you stay at a job for the money. My advice is try and find other work, but don’t just say goodbye to your current job first, look for something else first !

If you can’t really find something you really like, or when you apply for a job you are turned down, consider going to evening classes to get qualifications which might give you the edge over other people. I know that going to evening classes are hard, I started a 3 year course at 29, and it was difficult but you also meet new people and can be fun. I would say that people must help themselves before someone helps them.

But cheer up, everybody feels that way at some moment in their life.

Danielepew agony auntMany of us are not satisfied with our lives, and we work to change that. This is the mindset you need. Some people get things the easiest of ways; most people don't, and this is fine. Whatever you get, you'll have gotten yourself, despite all the problems. This is the mindset you need.

88jane agony auntHey hun!

Your feeling unsatisified with your life at the mo, this is not an abnormal feeling! everyone feels like this at times so first things first---dont think your the only one!

Secondly, i know its hard but try not to compare your life to other peoples---there will always be those envious people who just seem to get everything handed to them on a plate-and then theres people like us who struggle for everything! life isnt easy!!

it sounds like your not sure what you want from your life at the moment which is fair enough because you are still young---experiment with a few ideas and have some fun. try lots of different things and something may click into place for you.

i hope this advice helps, if you want to chat more then mail me hun!

BEEN THERE DONE IT agony auntHi there babes,

Yes, life is tough for some of us or so it seems, stop looking at others everyone has it hard sometimes , some have it harder than others I grant you that but ya know what us who have it harder bounce back better we become tougher and stronger in life and learn to cope more than those who seem to get everything on a silver plate, these people find it hard when things go wrong in their lives...

Your still a young lad and all jobs seem crap at first it takes many years to climb the ladder so to speak or to find the right job that suits you, so hun, go out there try everything why you young and aim high, don't allow anyone in life to stop you from what you wnat to achieve, you only live once babes so grab everything with both hands.....

When you go home start that old job yer ya mates may have gone from there now but ya know what you could meet some new ones thats exciting too, meeting new people in different jobs along lifes path is great I have met many and still look forward to meeting many more life is a big jungle to explore learn to love every minute of it babes...

Wishing you all the luck

Chin up hun, you can make and be what ever you want in life just go for IT!!!!!!!!!!

Love Donna xx

perky agony aunthey there we all have some trouble or break down in our lives at some point. but as you guess it how we deal with it and everyone is different. and as the other person said, try and get out more, you know, as maybe you use to as a kid. like go shopping or go watch a movie or even with your man go otu do things together.

And maybe it's just your job isn't right for you and its bringing you down more. Also it seems to me that you are starting to forget the fun side of life. Get out there, party, have fun - you know, everything you looked forward to when you were growing up.

I hope i have helped in some way and please let me know how you get on. email me if you want more advice from me
