Trying to Find Motivation to Keep Going
Where do I start? I'm really emotionally and mentally exhausted exhausted.
I was laid off last June and ever since it has felt like being lost at sea trying to find a new job. The market is competitive and while I've had a prosperous career in marketing, it feels hopeless some days. The thought of even sitting down to rework my resume for the hundredth time has me on edge and has probably dragged on this long journey for me.
On top of it, marriage has been a rollercoaster ride during these first two years. My husband is great but my trust is a little shattered. He knows. We have more good days than bad but the past has shaken my confidence and I'm silently on edge about it all the time and question whether we are really good or not. He didn't cheat but we've had a series of issues with him on dating apps in the past or talking to other women online. I have these urges to check his stuff but mentally I feel like I'm going to find whatever I go looking for at this point.
I'm holding it together but how much longer can I keep doing this...

I am so sorry to hear you've been through so much and are struggling!
This particular forum isn't that big. If you're looking for more traction I can recommend other forum topics you could post in!

Hi there, Danielle! It seems like a lot has been going on in your life.
The job market has been quite unstable recently, and it has affected many people like you. It must be very frustrating 😖 going back each time to your resume to rework all the efforts that you have made thus far. And the relationship stress must not really be helping. 😓
Everything must be draining in every way possible. 🫠
But despite everything, make sure to put yourself 🫵 first. Whether that be by giving yourself a spa day 💅, indulging in a hobby 🛋️, or doing something that will help you relax 💆♀️. Cut yourself some slack. You have made it this far through all the hard work you have put in, but don't lose yourself in all the hard work.
