I need help. I’ve been working in advertising for many years, but I don’t feel I can keep going any longer. Unfortunately, this is the only thing I know how to do, but I’m running on fumes. My heart has never been fully into this business, and though I once had more energy to cope with it, now I’m depleted. The impostor syndrome is at an all-time high. Without energy or enthusiasm, I can’t lead or inspire, let alone progress in my career. Has anybody felt the same? Please advice.

I don’t think that most people they find in the lake went in it willingly. Water makes it too easy to cover up murders. Washes away evidence. But it’s dismissed because most people they found had also been drinking. But people just disappearing miles away from the Lake don’t just fall in it. Yes, suicide happens. But many of these cases show zero signs of anything like that. The constant MO is being out with friends having fun. The friend vanishes. Then is found in the lake weeks later.

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night! Struggling to keep positive about finding a new permanent job - I was laid off at the end of April, have applied to over 60 jobs, had 6 interviews, and no offers.
