Anyone else struggling to find a purpose ?
Discussion
Not been on here for a while, appreciate everyone's comments and experiences.
Thought I'd update this thread for anyone feeling the same etc.
I went to the doctors and got referred to a counciling/therapy type person only went twice with a option for a follow up and basically just talked to them about how I felt, and they spoke to me and broke things down to what makes me unhappy or happy.
Long story short I feel there was a few key points that I got help with and a stupid as this may sound to some people, I have a diary now and it's sort of a progress planner and it breaks down daily/weekly/monthly goals and personal goals, plans etc and a few other bits and bobs and it really seems to help me personally find some sort of structure and I quite enjoy sticking to my daily rituals one of them for example is "drink 2 pints of water", may seem so stupid to some but it really helps me and I'm sure it would help others too maybe not everyone but someone.
Another thing I have managed to realise I have just been bobbing about trying to "follow the money" as they say doing my plumbing course nvq2, welding, mechanic nvq3 and my electrical science and installation I'm studying at the moment, my passion lies in cars it always has, but I'm not sure yet how I could put that in to a job point of view I enjoy been a mechanic as a hobby but not a job, so I'm going to try stick to building maintenance wouldn't mind getting it to the building management maintenance side of things been doing regular building and machine maintenance for 7 years now.
Just been furloughed for 3 weeks now by my employer, due to insufficient orders so fingers crossed for when I go back but I'm actively looking, applied for RAC patrol done the online course just waiting to hear back also for a maintenance manager job at YBS.
Also found keeping active for dulling down negative thoughts, started running and getting out on the pushbike a little more and finally going to finish my Spanish course that's been ongoing for the past few years.
Just want to thank anyone everyone's advice was taken on board, and I'm feeling spot on at the moment everyone has a sh*t day and I'm no exception but from reading that first post I wrote here that's just not me at all!!
