I know I'll sound so bitter by saying this, and it's not that I'm not happy for alll my friends, but why is it as soon as you hit a rut in your job or lovelife, everyone around you seems to be offered the job of their dreams and meet their future spouse in the same day.

I find myself seething behind my inane grin, and wanting to make holes in them.

Anyone?

u ok bear - whats up - is this directed at me or is it someone else - im still in my shitty job doing shitty things.

life often looks like that when you are down - its not perfect for those that you are looking at - far from it. it just appears that way - i know you and this isnt what you are like - you are genuinely happy for people when its going well for them

come to the bridge soon and we can start trying to get the old bear back - what do you think

im at work if you wanna email privately

When you are up you don't notice everyone else who is up there with you. When you are down, you are down.

And when you are only halfway up you've got to make a decision on which way you're going. (Or be the Grand Old Duke OF York)

No worries, Claire, I've had those moments...

i've never felt like puncturing my friends, but it has been galling to have a lot of friends in media jobs and now getting stunningly better paid cos they quite rightly steered clear of book publishing. bollocks.

If it helps, I took the media route and get paid slightly more than a paper round! I've actually cheered up today though thankyou. It might have had something to do with the fact that one of my friends has spent around £250 on a pair of shoes she'll regret in a month, and I'll be laughing all the way to the record shop in my old skanked up sneakers. God I'm fickle.

yes i am not alien to this situation. for some reason when i am feeling the lowest i get unnecessarily jealous of my friends. this happens even if i am doing a pretty good job of keeping my life together, or despite my friends being almost as miserable as i am. it is important to keep your head up and don't let the envy turn into resentment.

It oes seem like that sometimes. My pet one at the moment is people going on about how they are enjoying their university work while I am behind, and loathe every second. Yeah, its important not to get angry with other people because of their success, but sometimes it's bloody annoying to watch. I feel like I started my life in a rut and havent actually made it out yet...
