Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am mentally stressed out regarding my career and job. Due to family issues, I could not complete my education in between. I left the course and started searching for a good job. But I am struggling in getting a good job. That is always frustrating me and I accuse my family and all this my family has to bear because of me. I cannot understand which way to go in life. I do not want to be a simple housewife. I want to do something in my life. But what, I cannot understand. My career goals are not clear to me. What should I do? Now I do not wish to pursue my old course anymore.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand or empathize your feelings. It is very difficult for you to maintain routine activities because of these symptoms. There are so many doors open to you but sometimes we have priorities. It is fine that you do not want to continue your education but you want a good job. Sometimes jobs are without our expectations but now in the current scenario, a good job is always a dream for everyone. I am not saying stop dreaming but this is time to grab opportunity without blaming anyone else. Everybody faces difficulty in their family for different reasons and today the problems are in every family so that is a different issue. We cannot spoil our life because of family problems. Right now you have to forget what you did in past, your failures and focus on your goals. Do not be frustrated. Discuss with your friends and loved ones. You know already that God helps those help themselves. So keep helping yourself and others. Do not jump to conclusion, think twice before you start any job and all jobs are equal. We rate them as good, very good, excellent. God bless you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
