Today I went on Indeed in looking for jobs all in medical field between Medical File Records Clerk,Office Assistant and Administrative Assistant, my mom too is retired but is looking to go back to work because she can’t sit in the house ever since my dad unexpectedly passed on it has really made us too comfortable and it’s time for me especially to get back out there and get my feet wet, while I was searching my mom brought up another question asking me is there another avenue you want to pursue outside of the medical field I was honest with her and told her I wanna Pursue Communications like advertising,Billboards,magazine print something in that category that I will take pride in doing, she said to me I’m not trying to be brutal but I’m telling you this because you gotta understand what’s expected. I have an Associates degree in communications from county college, she even asked me did you ever have counselor/advisor to help you look for job before graduation which is something I regret not being more active in going to my advisor/counselor more often like I should had I gone for more help in searching for advertising jobs I would already be working either big or small companies, surprisingly my mom is in the same situation as me when she graduated she already thought her advisor would start reaching out to her but instead of helping her it just left in the dust where she had to go out on her own to look for a job which is something that I need to do little scared to get back out there I just need advice and encouragement to give me confidence and strength to know I gotta push through this it’s not easy

I'm sure everyone goes through something similar when they find themselves in a bit of a rut.
I was in a similar position a few years ago.
I fell ill to the point where I was unable to work. The majority of it was down to work related stress, so I left.
Although at the time leaving was the best thing I could have possibly done, it was also the worst.
I found myself totally unmotivated and then began a vicious cycle of depression.
It took until I met my partner to pull me up.
No one seemed interested in what was going through my head throughout those two years a part from her.
It may be that you need to find someone other than your mother to help guide you to where you feel confident in yourself again.
Applying for the positions you're looking at is a good place to start. The interview (even if you don't get the job) is invaluable experience and eventually you will land your dream job.
Only you know what you truly want to do and don't allow anyone else to have influence on that.
Keep your head up.
