I am depressed AF today. I cannot walk without feeling like I am going to collapse on the floor. Please post stuff. Here is a Saab Sonett II V4:

What’s wrong?

I’m sorry to hear that. You’re not the only one. My professional life is circling the drain and I’m all out of fucks.

Have a Dogmeat for moral support.

Oooo it is.

I rate them I, II, III then II V4.

But the yellow II V4 above is the only Sonett I have seen in real life.

They’re neat little cars. They remind me of the Opel GT, another tiny car with no power.

I know that feeling, it’s not a good one. Here’s an Alpina E34

Sorry to hear, and I hope things get better soon.

Have an Alfa.

I’d never seen an exposed-headlight Sonett before...so that’s a first for me. I’ll be going down the internet rabbit hole later to read more about them.

I understand completely. I moved to take this job in Maryland never realizing I was actually paying the boatman to take me to hell. This place is my personal hell.

Everyday I wake up...wish the world would end...goto work in terrible traffic (takes me 15 minutes to 2 hours to get to work), work with folks who don’t understand the job and won’t let me fix anything, then goto the gym and crawl home to hug my cat.

In 2 years, I have made 0 friends, despite efforts to goto meetups, Festivals with similar interests and pub hopping. My weekend plans range from cleaning my car, to helping the confused elderly man next door or sitting in my room playing games with my friends back in Florida.

This has been one of the biggest mistakes of my life...

:( I hope you are able to find a job back in Florida, so you can be near friends. My short time living in Maryland was very awful as well.

Quit. I was in a similar position here in Texas. Well, it started off really shitty then I had a great year in 2014 and early 2015. Then it all went down hill. I lost all my friends here and fell into a very deep depression. I couldn’t sleep at night and in January I lost 15 lbs cause I had 0 appetite. Before I could finally quit, I got laid off and this has honestly been the best thing to happen to me in a while. I know I bitch about searching for jobs, but I’d rather be doing that then working at my old job. One of people I knew that still works there was like, yeah you needed to get out of here. I spent a month in Georgia with family and friends right after I got laid off and made the decision to move back there. It may not be easy, but it’s the right thing to do.

Have some SAABs

The “let’s put our car in front of our plane” has been a thing for longer than I thought.

Or how about a reproduction Polish TKS tankette?

I am trying really hard to get outta here. I’ve made it abundantly clear to the Bosses I hate it here and to either move me out or expect to replace me (I have 5 job titles as they can’t get anyone else to work). I am using the company printer to print my resume and have kicked people outta my office to do job interviews on the phone.

I had a promising spot back in Florida, but the company found someone local that’ll do the (really tough) job for much cheaper than me. That really bummed me out...

The boss who hired me to come here quit as soon as I arrived, I wasn’t picked as the replacement, and the current replacement is borderline clueless. I’ve had a 65% turnover in my staff since I arrived and their contract is closing and may not be renewed come October. So come Halloween, I may not even have the 14 folks that work for me.

Quitting is appealing...I went home yesterday and just laid on the couch with the cat wondering what to do. It is just too expensive to move my crap.

I am going to the Irishfest in Annapolis this weekend...will drink my weight in Guinness and pretend I still like myself.

I also have depression, I wanted to say you're strong and I care if you want to talk about anything I'm here

I feel you. I moved to Detroit then Tulsa, away from friends for a job opportunity then for her job prospects. Now getting a divorce and I spend most of my time in the burbs wishing I stayed my dumb ass in KC.

Regret is a powerful thing...it drags you down.

I mostly just spend my days running or at the gym. This place depressed me and caused me to gain stress weight. I gotta get back to fighting shape. Maybe it’ll help me at least smile again for the first time in months.

I'd suggest joining a running group. That's really how I met the only people I know in Denver outside of work. It sort of forces human interaction (I'm pretty introverted, left to my own devices) and it makes me more likely to exercise when I'm not really feeling it. Plus my group likes to eat and I really almost prefer our brunches to the actual process of running.

Like others have said, you need to make plans to leave. I used to be stuck in a job I hated, I didn’t feel like I was achieving anything, I had an abusive boss, I was underpaid for my skill level. It was hard, I took a chance on a six month contract role and now I’m permanent and happy with my job and get paid way more. I know it’s hard to get yourself out but it will be worth it. Remember you’ve gotta look out for yourself. You aren’t alone, we’ve all made decisions we regret, and we are here if you need us.
