Wow...I just asked myself:

"I am totally broke. I am now looking for a job, but I am having massive difficulties, despite a pretty decent resume. What is the pay-off for not manifesting a job?"

I. I am afraid I'm not a good employee.

1. I am bipolar and borderline, and when I'm down, I can't get out of bed. I miss a lot of days. I feel unreliable.
2. I have poor self-discipline. If I don't feel like going on, I sometimes just call in and stay in bed.

II. Most of my past corporate jobs have been extremely boring and stifling.
III. I dread waking up early - for some reason, I associate it with deep anxiety.
IV. I feel conflicted about being financially independent

1. I feel incompetent - I was raised to feel this way
2. I love the freedom of being an adult, but not the responsibility. Can't I have it both ways?
3. My family will always bail me out. I have an overly secure safety net.
4. I'm a girl - a man is supposed to take care of me.

Thanks so much for starting this thread. Now I know why I've been dragging my feet - no wonder I don't have a job yet.
