I am not sure what is wrong with me. I used to very badly want to go back for my MBA, but now I am unmotivated to do so despite the fact I hate my job and see no future there. I feel very stuck, and I feel like my life is slowly slipping away. I can't seem to get myself started
I am in a rut that I can't get out of. I don't know if I am depressed per se. I have hated my job for a while, but I am afraid of change..and its hard to really find out what you want to do when you are working 60+ hours a week including the commute.

I feel like I am working below my ability. I have a high IQ and I graduated from college with high honors yet I am working as a claims adjuster for an insurance company with many people who are not even college graduates.

I don't know what to do or where to turn. I need to get out of this mess.
I was considering quitting my job and doing something different for a while.
Like going to work on a dairy farm out in the midwest or something like that..I know it may sound crazy, but I have had so many sad things happen to me within the last two years, that I may need to get away to recharge my batteries. I think my job is going to continue to drain them

Depressed? It is quite possible. The stress incurred at work and the fact of hating your job is causing depression (not necessarily in the clinical sense), which is killing your motivation to function (including your motivation to do something about your current state).

I am in a similar situation. Even though I make quite a bit of money where I work, I question my future there as I am already destimulated to the point of insanity. Because of the destimulation was causing a depressed state of mind, I could no longer continue my school work (and get passing grades), so I needed to quit school in order to have time to mentally compensate for work. (Even though I was working 25 hours a week and taking few credits at school).

It doesn't sound crazy at all, actually (if the job chosen is low in negative stress). It may help you become more motivated to take action, such as going back to school. I know that after taking school out of the equation for a year my drives to learn and act have increased. Maybe you'll have the drive to go back to school.

I think the best treatment for situational depression is to change the situation. Drugs may be important in helping you to change the situation while in the situation, but you still must change the situation as that is the core of the problem.

I may have to do that. I am going to talk it over with my doctor this week.

I had alot of things happen over the past year. My uncle passed away tragicallly, my aunt commited suicide, my grandfather passed away, and my mother is suffering from depression..that on top of hating my job has sapped my motivation.
I can only handle so much.

I spoke with a family member, and I may be able to move back in with them temporarily till I get back on my feet. I hate to do that at age 27, but I need to get well.
