I’ve been working for 6 hours . And my feet are killing me. But I feel like work is the only thing that occupies my mind .
I don’t think about anything else when I’m working . But I feel like I work so much, I don’t enjoy life . It’s a one one situation. Either work and hate life and not have any enjoyment, or don’t work and sit at home in my bed and sulk . They both kind of suck. I also feel a lot sympathy for people who work for a shitty ass amount of money and try to live off that . I just feel like I’m missing out on the best years of my life . I want to get out and do great and fun things . I just feel like I don’t even have time to be happy .

I hear ya. Work is a nice distraction for me. i have plenty to do and it keeps me occupied. Before I moved here a few weeks ago, I went through a pretty rough stretch. For now, I’m content. However, it’s probably a matter of time before I reach the point you’re at. While work pays the bills and keeps food on the table, there is more to life than working.
There are a few meetup.com groups around here. I’ve also been thinking about joining a local church. While I’m not expecting to have an incredible social life overnight, I would like to make some progress in that department. Are there some groups or clubs near you? Maybe there are some community service activities you could do to help you get out and about? They could help expand life a bit and possibly enhance your resume.
Im thinking about volunteering for operation smile . I want to help people . It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.
When I’m feeling shitty I go to the dog shelter and walk the dogs and throw tennis balls for the German Shepherds and pitbulls. Puts things in perspective for me. Operation smile sound like a fantastic was to add to this world.
Operation Smile sounds great. I hope you volunteer.
There is a page devoted to volunteering on the Operation Smile site. It appears there are several opportunities to help.
