I am in need of thoughts and prayers.
These next steps in life are overwhelming and stressful. Plagued by depression and Adult ADD which makes concentration very difficult, I'm looking to change my life for the better. I've already taken the first step in leaving my job at the end of the week.
This will leave me unemployed, I understand, but the job will kill me. I have struggled for years to figure out what my path in life is, but I have discovered that Non-Profit Housing is NOT my path. I can not take one more raging lunatic on the phone nor can I stomach denying one more family an apartment because of their credit problems.
I am leaving the job, and have vowed to leave this house. I want out, and I want to heal.
....
The only goal I've ever had. The only thing I ever wanted to do was make a webcomic. It was put on hold, and it has suffered in the darkness of my mind. However, it is the only goal I can latch on to in this crazed phase of my life and the only thing I've thought about since Freshman year of college. Since I have trouble focusing on what to do next, I think the only sane course is to finally use the resources I have to follow that dream.
I believe my art sucks. It has suffered from the lack of practice. And my inner demons have caused me to see every irregularity and mistake and failure.
But it is STILL my passion. Irreguardless of how bad it actually is, it is my dream to make a comic strip. And seeing the style and quality of art from early Sluggy Freelance and Funny Farm gives me hope that I can at least tell a story well and in time grow my art.
...
These next steps in life are MINE to make and mine to follow, but I need the support and love of my friends more than ever before. I now have a path towards happiness, and I don't want to ever loose it.

Lately I've just been feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. This is the last week of work and the anticipation is growing. I hate it when that happens. I just want out of the stress, and I want to find some form of steady happiness.

Just know to keep your ear to the ground for a better job. Hopefully you will find one soon and maybe leading to a better place to live. I just hope you take the steps to change and hope that you will find yourself in a better state of mind.
At the moment, I am at a crossroad. I got to choose whether to stay in OH and struggle or go back home and try to reset my life. The problem is that leaving one's home for 5 years and coming back can be... difficult, at best. Not to mention my responsibilities here where I am living.
Sorry. Sidetracked there. This is about you. Just know that I am here for you and you will be in my prayers. I wish you the best of luck with what you do and hope you will be better in the end. *hugs* You take care and be well. Have a good one and talk to you soon, Sarge.
