In a Funk

ahhhhh!!!

Published on January 25, 2005 By alison watkins In Home & Family

I hereby declare that I am in a funk. I just moved to this new area. I have no friends except my husband. Because of the move I am in between jobs, so I spend my freetime on monster.com or going to interviews. So far I've been on two interviews. The one said I made it to the second round, but the other was a failure. I just want a source of income doing what my degrees say i'm qualified to do, not become some sandwich artist. Due to the fact that New England gets dumped with a shitload of snow, It's kind of hard to go driving around to explore the area. I feel like I'm becoming a recluse. this is not like me!!! I should be thrilled.....I just got married to the most wonderful man ever, graduated college, and moved away.....why am I in a funk?!?!?!? ahhhhhh!!!!

Too much thrill, causing temporarily funk? Hopefully you'll find your way out of your funk soon.

That makes sense...coming down from a high. Thanks for the reply! I feel bad because I was all jolly on your message saying ways to get out of a funk....and now I'm moping. Are you feeling better, Danny?

Yes/No, I'm not really sure. I'm feeling less acutely bad, but I'm still feeling far from good, so whatever that ends up meaning...
And we can't all be jolly all of the time, could be your turn to be down. You could try some ice cream

I moved 1500 miles away from home in August, moved in with the man friend (what a mistake), and started a new teaching job, all within a week's time. Moving, looking for jobs, getting married, graduating, and what not...they're all major life events, and you poor thing, you're going through half of them all at once.

Give yourself some time. Maybe hook up with a church if you're into that or get into something that you and Hardin both love...you're bound to meet people that way.

I've been feeling the same way since we moved to Vegas 5 months ago. I've been home to Minnesota once, and I've realized that this will never be home, and it sucks, and I want to go back to Minnesota. On the other hand, I've been trying to meet people that share our interests. We'll be going on a motorcycle ride with a bike group sometime, and we're going to Bible study with some people at our new church on Thursday. Hopefully that will get me out of my 5 month Vegas funk.

Wow! from Minnesota to Vegas! that's quite a move. Just out of curiosity, what subject do you teach? I'm looking for a teaching job, myself, and boy is it tough to do in the middle of the year. I teach music which certifies me from ages 3-21, so I've been going the preschool route. One seems really interested, so hopefully that will work out and I can atleast have some human contact!

I've been thinking about finding a church. I hear it's not supposed to be a blizzard this weekend, so maybe I'll go hunting for one. I've also been toying around with the idea of playing in a community band just for something to do.

I would have never pegged you as a motorcycle mama! that's awesome!

Thanks for the great advice and best wishes!
