Unhappy I hate my job, I can't be happy..crying in a cubicle

I hate my Job. I work in a very wealthy company, my salary is very good. I hate be sitting in a cubicle all day long. My boss's cubicle is very close to mine, meaning that I have to watch out for my phone conversations and web visits.

I hate my job for 2 years now. I live in Miami where is very difficult to find a job where Spanish is not a requirement for any new position, I don’t speak Spanish.

I have a great experience and good resume. My problem is that I am stuck in a dead end job.

I can't quit, because I have two kids and my income is 'ESSENTIAL AND NECESSARY" to pay the bills. I don’t know what to do anymore, I am so lost!!!! I can’t quit, I am looking for something new...is taking forever to a change...It's been already 2 years of hope...

My husband is getting tired of me complaining everyday!!!

I am so sick of my life. Somedays I wish I were sick so I would not have to work! How sick is that!!!

I feel so miserable, depressed, hopeless, desperate, anxious, and anything more you can think of.

Anyone can help me? What should I do??

Hi--is moving an option at all? Some companies will pay for your relocation expenses. If you hate it that much, maybe there is some way your family can cut down the bills at home. YOU are the important thing here--jobs come and go, but your family can't replace you. There's definitely a way to change your situation for the better--just gotta keep looking for it. Good luck!

Hi Michelle; I can't be of much help to you, because I'm in the same situation, except without the husband and the kids. Could you perhaps take some comfort in the fact that you have a family, at least? (That's something I can only dream of having.)

Do you have insurance at work? Because, if you're depressed and can't take it anymore, you could go on disability. Your salary would be a bit smaller, but it would probably be better than going on like this, no?

Otherwise, keep looking for a new job. Something is bound to happen. Just don't stay there long enough for them to suck all the energy out of you so you end up too down and exhausted to even look for another job anymore.

I know you said you need your job, and I'm sorry to possibly offer a suggestion that you cannot use, but I understand how you feel and I'm speaking from my own experience. I recently lost my job. But I'm not upset. I had this job for over two years and I HATED it. I mean, I could barely drag myself out of bed in the morning sometimes. I have other issues in my life, but this job brought me down so much that it was causing me an extreme amount of mental anguish to the point where I would cry every day and call in sick and honestly, I stopped caring about it. And gradually, I stopped caring about everything in my life. Because when you work 40 hours a week someplace you hate, that's a lot of time and it can overshadow a lot of other things in your life that might otherwise be good. I suffer with depression as it is and I tried to kill myself because I thought I'd rather be dead than go to work anymore. Well, I'll stop rambling about myself. I know I was kind of an extreme case. My point, finally, is that it's NOT WORTH IT. I understand you can't just up and quit. I live on my own and have rent and bills and whatever as well. But if you are so miserable, you should TRY and find a way to take a leave, or, as someone said, go on disability. Whatever. You will feel so much better. Maybe you will find a new position if you have some time off to clear your mind. It will make a world of difference.

Exclamation

You guys know exactly what I am going thru and I appreciate your attention.
I am thinking about changing my life and today I will go to the Community College and get information about the Physician Assistant curriculum. I don’t know how I will afford it, but at least I will go there.

I can’t quit yet because I don’t want to put my family to financial difficulties just because "I" am unhappy! My husband cares a lot about his credit ratings, he always did. If I stop working, I would ruin it!

I look for jobs everyday and until now I was choosing the jobs that I would like more, so I would not end up in the same situation as I am now.

I need to reinforce my self daily! It's a task! A hard one…
