I feel like I am not doing anything

6 months ago · 2 · Need Advice, +2

Is it just me or that I feel stuck... I do have a job but since I got into this job I never really got a real task, I feel like I have been shadowing seniors and understanding work and being pushed from one project to another all the time. It' been almost a year but I feel like I am not doing anything. I feel unproductive and sad. I am not even doing anything outside work. I am not exercising or eating well, I am not investing my time in painting which I used to love, I am not singing like I used to do. Even if during the weekends I go out with friends I feel worthless, I hear all of them talking about how work's been hard and how they are assigned to this role and all and I can't help but wonder what the hell am I doing? Yes I am earing a certain amount each month but I feel like I am wasting my time. I know it hasn't been long and just as my friends say I should be happy that there's no work for me but I am not, I am not happy like this. I wanna work and earn cause I am working. I want my presence to make a difference. I feel stuck in a hole I can't escape from. And even though I don't matter they still wanna make my life hell when I am just asking for a few days leave. What am I supposed t do? You don't have work for me but you don't want me to have time for myself? Am I the only one feeling this way? What should I do? I feel I am capable of so much more than just sitting in front of my laptop the whole day doing nothing. I feel like I can invest my time to do something better but I can't just quit this one. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice?

    Create an account on linkedin. Populate your experience on your profile and it'll automatically find jobs that relate to you. Keep your eyes open for a family owned company. Your presence will definitely matter in that.

    The job I had wasn’t good. It was minimum wage pay but I liked the job itself. I liked the coworkers, the boss, the customers. It was the first place I could...
