anxiety about a job

[janny108]

Hi I've been unemployed for a while now and in the past 4 years or so I've had anemia,low thyroid and insomnia so I haven't pursued the jobs not that there is a lot to choose from. And the ones that are...well I really don't want to do those kinds of jobs. I'm an Avon rep now, fairly new.

How can I deal with this?

I don't understand what you are meaning in dealing with "this". What is the "this?".

I've been tired for a long time and I guess I don't how I'd do in a fulltime job,or to find something I really enjoy/having it available here in town.

well today I heard from HR about the possibility of a job. I have to fill out some paperwork and since it's the gov, it takes a little while before I know ANYTHING.

Remember. You don't work for any earthly company, whether you're making money or not.
As Christians, we work for the Kingdom of God. Money ain't happiness.

Are you seeing a counselor? Maybe talk to your pastor? I am currently starting a new job after being unemployed for 8 months. I got used to my own schedule, getting up when I got up and going to bed when I wanted. Now I have to get back to being on a schedule.

I understand your anxiety. It is because this is something new and different. As you get into your new routine it will get better. I do not start for another week and am making myself get back into the sleep schedule I need to be on for the job. I am making myself be busy during work hours and relaxing during non work hours to get my mind set better

Are you telling your doctor about your symptoms? I know right now I have no insurance so a doctor is not something I can afford. But talk to your Doc. He may have some suggestions.

Make sure you are eating right, get on a schedule for yourself, go for a walk. Hope this helps.

no I'm not seeing a counselor.

 

[Elisha1961]

Janny are you talking to a Pastor or your doctor?

 

[janny108]

No are any of you?

I have in the past. Currently because of the whole no insurance thing I am not. I have a good friend who I talk to about it. Once I got over the stigma of the diagnosis it became easier to talk about it. This friend is also my mentor in many ways, so she has seen me through many things. She keeps directing me back to the Lord. Making Him the most important thing in my life, then He will help me through this. He is the one making it possible to have the degree of control I have.
