Feeling unsettled

Thanks guys for all the input. I have alot to think about.

I have always loved nursing and making a difference in someone's day, but lately it just isnt what it used to be.

Lots to ponder.

It feels good to know that I am not alone and know some very wise women!

Thanks!!!

I know exactly how you feel. I have been pondering alot of things too. I think we all want to be the best we can be. I have been evaluating my life too. I have already gone back to school and got my masters thinking that was it. Now I have it but we haven't gotten raises in 3 years so I haven't really seen the full effect of it and probably won't since teachers are undervalued and under appreciated in our state. I have looked at my family relatationships and my marriage many times to see if they are nuturing or sucking the life out of me. After nearly dying and losing my weight I have come to a point where I am in self preservation mode. I do feel  hungry for more. I am tired of worrying every year how we are going to make ends meet. This is not a fun lifestyle for me I do want more just not sure how to get it. I want out of debt. I told my husband last week I wanted to rewind the tape and start over life gets so overwhelming sometimes I just want out. EVERYBODY leave me alone! As much as I love him I was actually thinking of bailing due to life pressures. Sometimes it all gets to be tooooooo much. I have lots to ponder too. Looks like we will be pondering together. Believe me you are not alone.

I got completely burnt out as a rad tech and have been a SAHM for 5 years. I love it but now that my dd is in school, I have time to branch out and find my passion in life. The problem is..I enjoy too many things and can't settle on what to do next!

I know that whatever field I move on to must involve helping others and I need to be able to set my schedule and work independently. I love to educate and do research. I am reading "Do What You Are" right now and trying to figure out the next step.

I would love to do something unique and outside of the box.

I totally get what you are feeling...I have always wondered if I would ever figure out what I want to do when I grow up :)
