I saw it as well, and yes, i found it very à propos, and started to ponder the risk of becoming too complaisant (this is the nature of the beast to play the devil's advocate). IrmaJean, not yet. But moving a bit forward because of deadlines.

Thank you for taking the time to answer, Victimorthecrime. Life/career coach was the first thing I looked into, but I wondered how to know who is legit and who is not, whether I could afford a good one. I stopped there. So if anyone has tips about this particular point, it would be much appreciated. I also looked into FB groups, but it just doesn't fit my need (human contact to fight isolation, whip and carrot so to speak, and calming down high anxiety levels that are paralyzing). I get your point though. However, this forum was the only place I found to express a tiny bit of my struggles and ask for help.

Thank you for the welcoming words, IrmaJean. I tried to see what my work has to offer at that level, but nothing touching psychological support, it is mostly about the physical, colleagues relationships and place of work. I started to look into group therapy, and I think it could be a great help, many issues to look into. Thank you for the suggestion. While I was looking for groups, I read that the waiting time to get into groups where I live is of about 6 weeks at the best. And I think that time is of the essence. So that would be great if this community could provide support. It would be really helpful to know that someone is expecting something from me on a regular basis, if I am following my plan, and that I will have a feedback. A presence while I shape something out of this situation...

My life is a complete mess right now – I do have a job, a roof over my head. The rest: social life, love life inexistent and meeting goals at work, really hard. The will is there somewhere, but getting out of bed or the house is hard when I don’t have to do it, and I indulge in a lot of TV-binging to numb it all. After lots soul searching, I am thinking that I could go for a buddy strategy, because the social part of my life to put things in perspective is what I really miss. I am looking for someone or a community to help me build my motivation and be accountable for the goals I set for myself especially for work and possibly in life. And to cheer me up when down. Do you know where I can get that?
