A Safe Place to Vent

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

Given that so many of you have been dealing with some major health

issues lately, I feel kind of silly complaining about anything at

all. However, I very much need to vent and then perhaps I'll get

over myself and move on. Over the course of the last few years, the

job situation has been like a roller coaster, with numerous

downsizings. My current job is so overwhelming that I actually

passed out on the bathroom floor one night at home, and I've been

looking for jobs and interviewing, and am feeling so disappointed

that nothing's coming along. I'm trying to remind myself that

things could always be worse, but I've been depressed for many

months. I'll have an occasional day where I don't feel depressed,

and I think it's going away, but then it comes back. We've also

been involved with some legal entanglements with the town we live in

for the last 4 years, and I'm very upset with my husband because if

I ask questions about the situation he gets hot under the collar and

I feel like I have no voice in my own home. I know that many of our

dear friends are suffering here, and my own sister has cancer, so I

feel terrible for dwelling on this stuff when others are suffering -

but I've been keeping so much locked up inside that I just needed to

get it out. Thank you all for allowing me a safe place to do that.
