Does anyone know if this is something anyone does? 

I feel like I just need to speak to someone because my head's all over the place regarding what I want to do. I know I don't need to have it all worked out now, but it'd be nice to have some direction.

I've spent many many years trying to work it out on my own, and I think I realised that it's not really working anymore.

  • I would say take your time with this and focus on your interests and go for something you know will interest you and you'll enjoy it. That's what I did and though it's a lot of stress at times I do enjoy it when I can bring myself to go in.

    Have you thought of volunteering to start? I did this originally, at a hospital. It got me out and about, interacting with others and I only did it when I felt up to it and wanted to. It led to me finding the job I'm in now. It's not for everyone but I enjoyed it and I feel it gave me a confidence boost and that was well needed.

    I've done a bit of volunteering recently, namely shadowing someone in a primary school while he was running drama lessons.

    Not what I saw myself doing but got me out of the house and doing something notable.
