  1. as a few of you already knew ive recently moved house which was a stressful event but that over with now and im really settled in my new flat which is good. The problem how ever is as i dont have a job i feel my life is same day in day out. how do i cope without a job or any reason to get up of a day ? i feel numb at the moment i even told matt im not sure i love him because at the moment im not sure i love anything. i feel like rubbish at the mo regarding the job scene ive applied for many jobs to not even get replies is a kick in the teeth its knocking my already low confidence. matt said why dont i volunteer which is a great idea but it means using our car everyday which isnt cheap to run so in my eyes is counter productive. oh god why isnt life a bed of roses i just want something to make my life worth something, is it a job that makes it worth while ? because thats all im missing. I have a fantastic partner a nice home a nice car lovely mum and dad nice friends beautiful pets. So why arent I happy ? everyday is the same day i get up do some cleaning prepare tea and then i have nowt to do i dont want to burden others or ask matt for money to go out so i just potter around our flat reading internet and tv which ok is alright some times but everyday its getting me down. ive asked matt from some arty things so i can draw we have fantastic view here which im hoping will arrive today. Other than this how do you all cope day in day out ???

  2. Hi netti,

    I'm sorry to hear that you're bored and don't know what to do. I have sent you a PM.

    We all need to feel that we are contributing and that life is worthwhile. Just pottering around isn't doing your self esteem any good. You need to feel that you are achieving something in order to feel that life is worth while.

    At the moment my day is taken up with the OCD but once I can get it under better control I want to be able to resume my hobbies and to hopefully do some voluntary work. At the moment I just don't have the time.

    My CPN has just told me to consider that tackling the OCD is my job at the moment, she said it will help to make me feel that I am doing something useful. I'd never thought of looking at it that way before.

    Hopefully others will have some suggestions as to what you could do to tackle this problem.

    Best wishes
    Trudy
