Hey, none of that, Poet! Getting a job is a terrific accomplishment, one you've earned. Of course you're happy. You deserve to be.
That isn't to say that a job is everything, and that it you're not a smashing success at it, that you're nothing. But work is important-- even Freud said that, although people focus on the sex is important part.I"m not sure why Dinah is suddenly feeling so worthless. But I suspect it's something other than work. Often, when I have doubts, they attach themselves to everything that comes up. Not because the things that come up are evoking the doubts, or self-hatred, but because those emotions tend to adhere, and then pretend that they're caused by the thing they've adhered to.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling that way, Dinah. But you are, of course, a very worthwhile person in my mind-- which doesn't help you, I know-- but maybe if you look at what's going on, some trigger for bad feelings will come into view.
Hope you feel better, Dinah. :(
