MY MOOD RIGHT NOW

I think I'm slowly falling into depression, but then I don't want to call it depression if I'm having a few rough nights. It will be a slap in the face to those who suffer from it.
But how do I explain sleepless nights, terrible mood swings and constantly over thinking and feeling like I'm failing in life. The constant need to quit my job even though i can't afford to go without a job. It's easy when you see it in movies where a person just give a huge fuck off to their job , walk away without looking back. I didn't really think of the effect the job is having on me , sitting all day, staring at a computer screen with not enough shit to keep my brain active. But hey the things we do for survival, I get angry at myself and blame myself a lot for not working harder at a younger age and taking necessary steps to secure the so called bag. Now I'm stuck at a job I dislike and I'm still not over the rejection from the last time I applied for jobs I'm scared to apply for others because I dnt think I can't bare the rejection. So its earlier to sit In shallow water waiting to be reduced instead of finding my way deeper into the ocean where there is a huge risk but also a huge chance to be spotted. I feel I'm going to snap and have a huge breakdown soon, I dnt know if it will happen or how il handle it if/when it does but I'm not myself and I'm worried.

  1. I guess this happens a lot, almost everybody experiences this, they just don't talk about it much, there comes a point in life when you feel like you should be doing better than what you are currently doing. It's life, i guess it's part of the plan for those who are ambitious. It's a phase, hang in there!

  2. You know what 3yrs ago I was having this same feeling I just couldn't take it anymore , I felt like I was trapped in fact i was loosing my mind, made up my mind and walked out on my job a dumb ass decision, taught I was doing the right thing but I was wrong. Still searching for a new job now but all I get is rejection something to do with age. Try to find solace away from your boring job or pick up a side hustle , do anything that will make you happy and never rush into making decisions trust me I know. By the way nice blog��

    1. Thank you for your lovely comment. Unfortunately I handed in my notice and I have two weeks left at my current job. No new job lined up but I'm very hopeful for something in the new year. Would love to have a side hustle but this job is driving me nuts, i'm not learning anything or growing in anyway. I hope you find a new job soon and do keep me posted when you do.
      Thanks once again , I get very happy when I see positive comments on my blog.

HOLIDAYS.

Hi guys, So I've been in Lagos for the last three weeks and it has been nothing but chaos, I was very excited for this holiday but everything seems to be going out of control and I scared of the consequences of my actions.  As usual, I have a lot of ideas about what to do in my head, I had plans to write a lot more since my stories are mostly written about Nigerian characters and the cities I've visited in the country. I wanted to update my cv in order to start looking for a new job when I get back to Dublin, I also wanted to learn how to use excel properly and also learn other tools that will make my job search easier and increase of getting a better job.

ESCAPE

"God will punish you', I shouted as I tried to chase the man who robbed me" "E no go better for you ', I am fighting a battle I know I’m not going to win, but I hate being cheated, I settled on the train tracks to catch my breath, a few minutes before the train passes. A small crowd  gathered the nosy bastards who have nothing better to do on a Monday morning, I look up from after a few minutes, I have no choice, a pair of over-bleached feet appeared beside me. The sight of someone's skin bearing a striking resemblance to over roasted plantain nearly made me regurgitate the contents of my stomach. "How far now? she asked putting her hands on my waist.

COURT EXTERNSHIP : Entry 1

I had plans for the two weeks break, had it all planned out in my head, study, work out, stay the F away from carbs and sugar. All I did was sleep, eat carbs and stock up on sugar, I feel like a failure, well not entirely but I'm the real definition of a waste man, Didn't realize how tired I was until I started taking naps during the day yet not finding it difficult to sleep at night. We started our externship . Yay! My posting got changed to Igbosere, got the email while I was in Ikeja High Court, I love criminal litigation, practicing in Nigeria doesn't look that bad. The Judge heard 16 cases, some which were for arraignment but the accused person's did not show up. It's a complete different ball game, been there watching everything we were thought in class being put into practice . Commercial is not as exciting as criminal but , I like the court. The judge hears cases on Land, landlord and tenant, general civil.  breach of contract and some corporate issues...
