Hi Ll,
I just ate a turkey BLT, therefore I am a turkey. Though my legs do resemble drumsticks.
You wrote: That being a certain person involves the whole package- having a certain occupation, a certain lifestyle etc. That I shouldn't strive to be what I'm not, who I'm not and embrace who I am.
I have that problem, too. I am trying again for that "certain occupation" the one that will give me all that self esteem and pay well. I've been through this so many times before and frankly failed miserably. Or is it that I was left in miserable failure. My T tries her hardest to get me to say "I don't have the job of my dreams, but I'm okay where I am." That doesn't stick in my head as well as I am going to fail again.
I'm feeling this way because I finished my classes in July and have convinced myself that I should have a high paying job in that field. Have your feelings of not having what you think you should have become more intensified since you got your doctorate?
Take care and I hope the xanax helped.
