Default What the F**k Am I doing here

Just had one of those moments when my head said "What the f**k am I doing here" just wondered, has anyone else had those moments or is it just me?

Do you mean on the forum or where you live?
If you mean where you live then yes, I have asked myself that question everyday for the past 20 years!

Yes, yes yes, every waking moment I think that! But am stuck for two years because my husband will not budge until he retires. It makes me very depressed and angry

It is so good for me to hear this from someone else because I have said this to myself every day - at least once - for the last 30 years!

I often feel that I have strayed onto the wrong planet but cannot find the one I should be on.

Yes, I mean where I live, there are some days that feel surreal and my head just says "what the f**k am I doing here. You have to laugh.

I have done that many times. Hell I'll go for broke I've actually thought that on this forum in some 'threads.'

As I may have mentioned before try reciting your resignation letter in your head or out loud if your commuting in car (alone). It is very theraputic IMHO.
Also, if you believe all that imagery stuff it seems to have worked for me. In the last couple of months I was visualizing the scene and reciting my own resignation. Now it seems in a few days it will come true. I am trying very very hard not to make it a 455pm on a Friday afternoon event - not wanting to burn bridges and all that but the image is extremely attractive - even if only for my own 30 second satisfaction

No - it isn't just you - I have days like that - many days. In fact the longer I've lived here (23 years) the more unsettled I have become...................

Slightly off topic here but any rough idea on your departure date? Just wondering, you must be so excited!

That is so true! As time goes on, I feel more unsettled, too - and more unhappy, more impatient with living here . . .

Default Re: What the F**k Am I doing here

It is a grey miserable, rainy day here on Vancouver Island. I have small ants suddenly making their appearance from inside my kitchen cupboards so started a cleaning frenzy under the sink cupboards. When I had everything taken out, some stuff thrown away, some stuff forgotten I had and packed into my "take home" box, I wished, wished wished that I was cleaning out the cupboards because we have sold and I am leaving! I am already keeping and packing some precious things that I don't use now for when I get to England! How sad is that? I am wishing my life away!
