Crunch time
I came back home after I studied and worked down South for 4 years and I can honestly say, I don't regret coming back. I was home just 2 weeks and bagged myself a job in fashion retail. I was there for a year and a half, loved the people I worked with but as the months went on I realised there was no career prospects. From then on my mood got lower, rapidly. I got put on anti-depressants (50mg Sertraline incase you're wondering). I took them for a few weeks, felt better so I stopped taking them (rookie mistake). Bit of advice, always consult your doctor before stopping your meds, they'll tell you the best way to stop. Gradually. I went back to work, but after a month or so, the feelings of failure and worthlessness came creeping back. Y'see I went to university, studied fashion styling... I didn't go through all of that studying, the stresses and all-nighters to be a sales assistant! Anyways, long story short I got so depressed to the point that I had to quit my job, in December (couldn't of picked a worse month).
Two months later and I'm sitting here still unemployed, but I had a interview on Thursday to be a travel agent and I feel as though it went really well *fingers crossed*. Think I have finally found my niche!
I studied Travel and Tourism at college for a year before thinking (mistakenly) fashion was the career path I wanted to go down. To be honest I think I was just watching to many re-runs of The Hills 😂. In a dream world then yes, I would have loved to be a fashion stylist to the stars. But this is the real world and the fashion world is hard to crack in too (unless you're a TV reality star).
Tomorrow is crunch time anyways, the interviewer said she would contact me on Monday so I guess I'll just be waiting for that call eeek! 😓
