It’s normal to feel that way — but it’s totally optimistic and great to feel excited about a step towards health and normalcy.

Cheers. 💕

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I have no passion for the work I’m doing.

But I’m at a point in my life where I’d rather be running toward something amazing vs running away from something I dislike. Looking for stories of those who made a switch, no regrets. Thank you.

After many years in this business I haven’t been promoted beyond my current title of Senior Art Director. I recently was hired by an agency I respect, but most of my colleagues are considerably younger and outrank me. This is taking an emotional toll because I feel that if haven’t been able to move up in my career I either don’t have the needed talent or drive, or both. And now I’m in environment that reminds me that I got quite behind. Any words words if wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

It’s triggering severe depressive and anxiety symptoms - can’t sleep, racing thoughts, extremely irritable, reclusive and don’t want to be around people, feeling hopeless.
