Dknew: Just what life is all about, I spent about 8 months talking to a wonderful woman to just blow her off when I went into a depression from not being able to find a job, and when I did get a job found myself doing the same thing I've done for years, Putting everything I have into my job and nothing into my personal life.

The last time I put everything I had into my job I had a heart attack, But it's really the only thing I know how to do as relationships seem to escape me.

Well the point of this is to say I'm sorry C. for the way I left things.


Doesn't sound like working all the time and putting so much of your esteem into your job is working for you. Time to find other stuff outside work to be proud of, like the fact that you can admit to people that you know you're doing something wrong.

I understand that feeling. I worked a job for 21 years and I was one of the best at what I did no matter what section I worked in, and darn proud of it. But oh, when I was laid off, it was like someone gut punched me. The air went out of my life. I couldn't move, just kind of went through the moving and selling the house, getting rid of stuff process in a daze.

This picture worked for me:
You have a bucket of water. Stick your fist in. Then pull it out. See the water? It rocks a little but then it settles, clear and smooth. That is how much your employer is affected by your job loss.

Best not to invest ourselves too heavily in the people we make money for.

So sorry to hear of your difficulties. But you can change. Relationships won't escape you unless you let them run away.
