I FEEL LIKE A PROSTITUTE
I work from home, which is something most people wish they could say. It's a pretty sweet deal. I don't have to get up early, shower and fight traffic to get to the office. I don't have to shave all the time and take clothe to the dry cleaners. I don't have to deal with office politics, gossip and anyone looking over my shoulder everyday.
On the other hand, I'm always stuck at home. I don't get to punch out and leave work at the end of the day. I don't have any coworkers to share with. I don't have office parties or get to talk about stuff I saw on TV or heard on the radio.
Five years have gone by and I haven't stopped feeling lonely. Life is short and 5 years is a pretty long time. The thing is, the money is great. I make more money than most people I know, and I'm sure if I leave this job I won't be able to find another that pays nearly as much.
I don't completely hate my job for the reasons mentioned, but I feel it is taking a toll on me. I have gained weight and have a bunch of medical complications including suffering from depression which I'm sure is caused by my lack of social interaction.
I know there are things I could do to alleviate this, but they are just not me. I can't go to church hoping to socialize. I don't care for sports or drinking at a bar. So how the hell I'm I supposed to meet people.
I feel like a prostitute because I'm selling myself for money and I don't like what it's doing to me.

Mapito, people always say "the grass is always greener on someone else's yard". Here you are saying you're sick of always being at home...I hate having to get up and go to my office everyday. I hate the people I work with cause they're always talking shit about everybody else. My boss is a slave driver and there is always too much work! I haven't left for the same reasons as you: the money. I need it and I can't find another job that will pay me that much, so I guess we're both a couple of prostitutes!!!
I understand why you're feeling sad, but if you look long enough, you'll find something that you do like and hopefully you'll make some new friends. Good luck!!!
I have some Lexapro! ... I have a cushy job that doesn't satisfy one bit. I like my coworkers, my benefits and perks are a dream ... but it isn't what I thought I would end up doing with my life. A lot of times I feel empty and unfulfilled ... Kind of like The Neverending Story, when THE NOTHING is taking over everything. I've stayed there for the last five years for the money ... so add me to your list of prostitutes.
My life has become so monotonous and routine that sometimes I wish I could just shake myself out of it, leave everything and go somewhere else and do something different with myself ... Okay, now where are those pills?
I don't wish I worked from home. I wish I didn't have to work at all. That would be ideal! time for me to do whatever the hell I wanted. OH DEAR GOD PLEEEEEEASE LET ME WIN THE LOTTERY!!!
Well....
I would Love to work from Home!!!! Especially if it would be working for my website www.bonchessociales.com
