TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
By way of advice and support: I knew a shrink once who said that every
human relationship goes through three
basic stages: The honeymoon, desert, and mature love stages. And it
doesn't matter what kind of relationship--love,
work, school, etc. It sounds like you've hit the desert, career-wise.
Having been there multiple times myself,
I can tell you that flight or fight responses are normal reactions. I
can recommend one alternative...just being with
it...living through the chaos, pain,stress, confusion, grief, fear, and
panic. It helps to have someone to be there
with you, so find friends, support groups, a church, etc, to help you
make the journey.
I can promise you that, if you be with the desert, on the other side
lies a deeper, more meaningful existence. But I
can't promise you that it will be the only desert you experience, or
that it will be painless.
It's scarey that we all have to suffer, fail, etc. Everytime it hits
me, my knees buckle, and my heart sags.
Something like this hit me this week at work too. So I'm willing to
offer you a hopeful, loving, commiserating
correspondence through it all, if you want it. Life is always easier
with friends.
