Life has been throwing me and my wife lots of punches. She's been working six days a week because the stupid assistant manager at her place suddenly quit. Meanwhile, my work schedule has change so my off days are no longer back to back. Searching for a new job has been one long exercise in futility, but I can't quit what I'm doing now because...food. Today a big wave of depression hit me that had me asking a whole bunch of questions. Is all my hard work meaningless? Should I just give up writing entirely? When this happens I feel powerless to see things from another perspective and it rolls over me like a tidal wave, so much so that I'm seriously wondering if I might need to start seeing a therapist..but that's a topic for later.
We're going on a week-long vacation to Florida tomorrow and I'm seriously debating if I should take any writing material with me. Part of me thinks If you just keep working hard you'll get this done and be one more step closer to success. The other part of me thinks You're burnt out! Take a break and relax, for your own good!
I'm nervous about either choice, confused and uncertain about life in general. Anyone relate? How do you choose?
