I'm worried about starting this new job

I really, really need to go back to work. We need the money. My wise father told me once, "People work for three reasons, Ann Marie. For the money, for the money, and for the money."

I've been depressed now for a few months. And I'm really, really nervous about going back to the grind. Part of me thinks it'll be fine. I'm a tough cookie. I'll suck it up and do what needs to be done. But another part of me thinks that I just don't have another commitment in me; that I just don't have anything to give to another obligation.

I'm going to try to think positive, and keep taking my meds. I'll try to be hopeful about enjoying the work, and meeting new people, and getting some certifications and building a career. And the money. And the money. And don't forget the money.

And besides, you need the money ;-)

I know a few people who work for personal satisfaction or for the good of society. Me, I do it for the money. Good luck!

I remember having that same feeling 6 years ago when I re-entered the world of work after a haitus of about ten years (to raise my kids). But once I started, I loved it. Now I'm having those same feelings about starting school again. Why, oh, why am I not more confident about this?
