I’m terrified, i took 4 years in total out after school, in which time i worked abroad and traveled. On year 3 i went home to ireland and did a night course diploma. I then went back to spain where i had been working with the mind set of really trying to make a life out there.
With work dried up, i’m now living back with my parents and searching (like everyone else in the country) for a job. This isn’t me complaining and saying poor me i can’t find work, its just that in the last year i’m different. I’m not as fun, i feel i’ve lost my spark, i’ve also started lying when i’m drunk and not in a harmless talking shite kind of way. I lie about serious stuff, nothing malicious but just not true. So much so that i’m trying to not drink – which in irish culture as a 20something is pretty tough to do. I feel everything is a bit too much at the moment and although i really want to be something and someone and forge a career, another part of me wants to just stay at home with my parents and hide. I’m not trying to be funny but do you think i’m depressed?
