Hi everyone -
I'm a long time listener of Stefan's podcast and love what he's doing to help people improve their lives. Right now I find myself in serious need of advice and guidance, from anyone willing, to help me figure out what to do to turn things around for myself. I'm extremely grateful to anyone reading who would like to offer any insight or guidance on where to go from here. I'm hoping I can learn from others who have been through what I'm struggling with right now.
The basics:
- 39 year old single guy
- my biggest problem as I see it - can't figure out what to do for a living/income
- can't or won't open up to anyone in my life about help so I'm looking here out of desperation
- depressed & struggle daily with motivation, procrastination etc.
- extremely ashamed with where I am in life (unmet potential = overwhelming frustration)
- always been aimless and unsure what to do in life - could never pick a major in college etc.
- unemployed right now and haven't worked for the past 18 months trying to "figure things out"
- no money coming in & I've been living off savings that have run out
- perfectly healthy as far as I know and in good shape physically
- desperately need to figure out what to do for income immediately in the short term
- desperately need to figure out what to do for income and career in the long term
- I pay cheap rent and no real assets to speak of
- feel panicked and ashamed by this dilemma & it's caused me to avoid relationships with others
- does this stem from bad childhood (abusive narc mother) & if so what do I fix first?
- do I need to address other problems from bad childhood before I can figure out career path?
- which questions should I be asking to come up with some answers?
Anyone out there have any suggestions? I kept things a little vague to keep it simple but that may not be the best approach - if so let me know what info to add.
Thanks for reading and any suggestions are very welcome.
