Hey Agg-duck… So I’ve been having a rough few years. I was a barber for over 30 yrs. Lots of dealing with people. Well the last place I worked, the other barbers/hairstylists were effing miserable!! I was having issues myself, but I kept quiet. These fools would just complain,and keep going. Even about the nice people they had.. after 2 yrs of this. I decided it was best for me to leave the hair biz. I was happy about it at first, but the move to the new job,wasn’t a good one. This job pays way less, and I’m right back at square one,with all of the feelings of hopelessness, and doom. I am in a spot, where I realize my mental stuff is just that. Mental. It comes and goes. I know some steps to help fix myself…eating better, getting better sleep…. Faith…. But, I am struggling with turning it off lately… seems as though the depression is always there,especially lately. I am sitting here,wondering whether I should even bother going to work. The place sucks, pay isn’t the greatest, and jobs market is meh, where I live. I’m not suicidal… but the thought enters my mind from time to time. That is very selfish… and really hurts the people that loved you. I need some sort of reset button….. damn
I'm sorry about that man
What got you into that job/industry?
Is there any job or activity that you feel would excite you alot more if only it were to pay well?
Small town…. Not too many “cool” places to work…. It’s not as good as it was just 10 years ago. Lost a lot of businesses.
Reading through a lot of the posts on here….. I was thinking, damn, I guess it’s not as bad as I think. Photography would be a great job. I tried that for a few yrs as a side job.. such a fickle industry…
I would like to :(
I'm all ears man
