Hiya!
As a rule now I am trying not to use forum's too much, as I find them detrimental to my progress, however, I think that this is the only "safe" way to get people's opinions right now.
Just wondered what anybody else's experience with finding a career after Uni, deciding what to do next was like?!
I am struggling with who to talk to at the moment!! I have a problem deciding what career I am interested in... which, the logical step would be to see the career's people, however, I know my personal issues will intefere with anything I am considering here. (Depression, Anxiety, and just general rubbishness as a person!) And the biggest problem at the moment (other than my attachment issue is the social phobia and anxiety, the rest of it can be brushed under the carpet to some extent, but this can't.
Also, there's the idea of doing a Postgrad course, which really appealed to me before, but now my dissertation is going badly, I am not so sure. That and I will need support from a tutor here, and the only person I can see doing that for me, I am supposed to be avoiding. I am also not sure if this is what I want to do... Gap year or not, I need to decide before what's happening.
I have tried talking to therapists, and whatever about these issues, but I am being rather shunted around, because all of the issues blur in, psychological, career choices, and the opportunity of further study. I was wondering if anyone had any advice, as much as anyone having person experience really, as I'm scared.
Sorry, I'm just desperate, and don't want to be in a situation next year doing some job I don't really want just to survive, or whatever.
