W.I.F.T.S.

When I first got into this mess I made a series of rash decisions: I moved to London without a proper job, I quit a job because I was in a panic about getting my finances sorted with the bank, I took a job that I knew I'd hate......
I feel that at the moment I'm not really being true to myself and doing the things that I want to do, but that I'm sitting tight because I'm too scared to put myself out there.
I'm really weighing up quitting my current job because it makes me feel ill, but if I left i know that I'd have greater financial problems because I'd be earning less.
I'd love to have someone in my life to offer advice. My family are critical rather than constructive, telling me the things that I'm doing wrong rather than what I can do that's right. I ask my mrs for advice, but she doesn't know what to suggest.
I try and imagine what I would advise myself if I was someone really sensible and (for once) I think that I'm doing it: I'm volunteering to try and develop skills and experience and to meet new people and I've got a meeting this afternoon with personnel to discuss my difficulties with them and to hopefully come up with a few solutions.
It's the sort of thing that someone really sensible (maybe a bit idealistic too) would suggest and most people would think 'nah', especially as my company doesn't seem to care, but I'm doing it and I'm really glad. I've felt so close to walking out recently and I can't afford to do that.
Ships in harbour are safe..but that's not what ships were built for.
