Is this a rant? I don’t know. Probably. So it’s marked ‘rant’. If you don’t want to read a long string of complaining bullplop than you should probably read one of the threads that will actually help enhance your life. But I’m writing because maybe others have dealt with this stuff as well, and I could use some perspective.
I can’t concentrate on work anymore.
I’ve never been in love with job, but now it’s like working here is making me physically ill. It feels like being trapped under a couch, or that I am wearing a lead jacket that also affects my brain. Whenever I try to concentrate I can almost hear the gears slipping in my brain.
I think it’s because I no longer see an end point to staying in this career-path, and that the job provides nothing but a paycheck. I have a second job selling paint by phone, its far less lucrative and of significantly lower social status, but I can still at least concentrate and improve at it. I’m earning some extra money, and I also feel like I’m learning a valuable skill. I can still concentrate on the readings I do. I actually did some initial work on a potential fastlane project on the weekend. But Sunday was a slower day. And work is just unbearable at this point.
I spend all my time either at work, doing house-chores, or attending to my girlfriend. I can’t get anytime to myself, either for work or play. I love solitude and am now surrounded by people on all sides. But my life is such that I can’t change this, or if I did change it then the consequences would be catastrophic. So I just keep pushing forward and hoping that one day my brain will enjoy this shit like everyone else’s brain seems to. Besides, social stuff is supposed to make you happy right? My brain’s desire to live on its own surrounded by books and trees is probably not real, so I have to keep pushing forward into the quagmire that my life has become.
Has anyone else dealt with anything like this? Have any of you made the massive lifestyle change part of my thinks I need, and have come out happy or miserable? Have any of you stayed the course and come to regret it or love it?
