my girlfriend dumped me…
DEAR ZZINA POWER: MY life is going nowhere and I feel worthless.
I’m a 35-year-old guy and my girlfriend has just dumped me for a man who is better looking than me and has a nice flat.
To be honest, I’m not surprised she left me.
I got made redundant last year and still live in a shared house.
I was bullied when I was young and left school without anything in the way of qualifications.
Since then, I’ve had a series of low-paid, dead-end jobs.
My brother and sister both have great careers and lovely families, meanwhile. I can’t help feeling envious of them.
I have dreams and ambitions too. I would love to own a business – but I know that’s never going to happen.
I might as well accept that I’m not going to amount to anything.
Sometimes, when I’m alone, I cry. The future looks so bleak.
ZZINA POWER SAYS: Being bullied as a child has had a big impact on your life, both on your confidence and on your prospects.
Please do believe it is not too late for things to change.
My support pack Help For Job Hunters explains more about training and gaining qualifications.
Please don’t compare yourself with others.
You do sound depressed. My support pack on Depression will point you towards sources of support.
