Feeling depressed

Feeling depressed

Lately I just feel so out of it.
The wedding is over.
The holidays are over.
I can't find a teaching job.
We are in a tiny basement apartment.
We can't afford anything on Long Island, however I can't find a job anywhere we would want to live (northeast).
I want a dog and the landlord won't let us.

I've just been sitting around, watching tv, sleeping, on the computer.

How do I break out of this? Does anyone else feel like this sometimes?

Thanks for letting me vent.

Oh yes and I've gained 10 pounds since the wedding and I am already overweight!

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way and I can't offer any help but to say you aren't alone! It's a let down not having something exciting to work on. I think you have to try to keep yourself busy and distracted, though. Can you maybe volunteer somewhere while you are looking for a job?

Oh my dear date twin, I could have written your post myself. I am having a hard time too since the wedding. Dh and I are both unhappy in our jobs and we want to move, as well as some personal stuff going on, etc. and it's been a lot to deal with.

I agree with Suzanne about looking for some volunteer work, or perhaps applying for TA jobs or working in a daycare?

Have you and Justin talked about relocating...even out of the northeast? It is so hard in this area!!!

Thanks guys. Yes, we looked into N Carolina. I am just not in love with it like we are in a place like NY or NH....

I feel like all I do is look for jobs, look for different places to live and eat. Plus, lately some of our friendships have broken off because of some lies that were told to us. Uhh, I want to get out of this rut.
