I'm a mid-30s programmer. I have a wife I used to love very much. I might still love her, I'm not sure. She's blind, and doesn't work, so naturally I have to be a caretaker. I have a almost 2 year old daughter who I do love very much and would do anything for. She may also go blind...it' a genetic condition, but she sees fine now. We're doing everything we can to prevent it. Time will tell. I have friends. I don't have a hard time getting along with people. I'm doing just fine financially. So why am I posting on a lonely board I happened to google?

Honestly, I'm the complete opposite of many of the posts I just glanced at, but not necessarily in a good way.

I have a lot of what everyone else wants, but I don't appreciate any of it. I am completely going through the motions. I feel no different than the applications I program. I provide for my family. I tell my wife I love her. I hang out with my friends every now and then. I'm trying to raise my daughter to be happy and successful. I just do what I'm supposed to do.

But I don't -want- any of it. I -want- to be alone. I am so overwhelmed with stress. I've moved up the employment chain to get the most money I can, and I try hard to chase my passions, and I try to spend time with my family but there's so little time in the day and I already sleep only 5-6 hours a day at most. I'm always tired, and counter-act it with caffeine (about 500-700 mg a day in various forms). I can't take a vacation because all my vacation time is spent taking my wife and daughter to a specialist relatively far away for checkups and operations to minimize the damage to my wife and minimize the chances of my daughter losing her sight. I am completely burnt out and have been for a very very long time.

I fantasize about my family dying in a car crash. It would tear me apart because I really do love my daughter more than anything. But I'd be free...free to drop my current career path, and free to live off much less. Free to take a vacation. Free to just take some time every day and relax.

Right now I feel like I'm trapped. I can't get out. I can't even kill myself because I can't do that to my daughter. She needs a dad to raise her and to provide for her financially.

As a programmer, I take complex problems and try to solve them. I can't seem to find any solution to fix my situation. I would do anything to get this stress to stop, but I can't want to let my daughter down. I don't know what to do.

"Know the name of the interviewer so that you can ask for that person at the receptionist's desk," advises Cheryl Palmer, president of Call to Career, an executive coaching firm. "It's embarrassing when the receptionist asks, 'Who are you here to see?' and you can't remember. Have this information either in your head or write yourself a note that you refer to prior to arriving in the waiting area," Palmer says.

S."-- "However, This critical decision comes at a time when Iran is racing toward obtaining nuclear capability. Failure to approve this resolution would weaken our country¡¯s credibility to prevent the use and proliferation of unconventional weapons and thereby greatly endanger our country¡¯s security and interests and those of our regional allies. AIPAC maintains that it is imperative to adopt the resolution to authorize the use of force and take a firm stand that the world¡¯s most dangerous regimes cannot obtain and use the most dangerous weaponsLikewise the Republican Jewish Committee has sent out an ¡°action alert¡± email that argued ¡°There is much debate and discussion as to the merits of various strategies going forward as well as how the US got to this juncture However for Congress there is only one question that must be answered: Is it in our national interest to respond to the violation by Syria of the international norm against the use of chemical weapons¡± It called on pro-Israel Americans to overlook party affiliation (¡°The RJC believes that this not a Republican or Democrat issue We encouraged our members to reach out in a bipartisan fashion to Republican and Democrat officials to ask for their support of the resolution¡±) This is simply unprecedented for the RJC which is a Republican group exceptionally critical of President Obama to go to bat for him in this fashionWhat is going on here I spoke to a representative of a pro-Israel group who was authorized only to speak on background ¡°There are two issues the moral dimension on a mass scale and the direct link to Iran¡± he said ¡°Syria is a puppet for Iran They will conclude that if cannot in the case of WMD¡¯s being used then we won¡¯t ever act to prevent the obtaining of WMD¡¯s¡± He stressed ¡°We have no other option¡± If the Congress votes ¡°no¡± he fears the US will be like Great Britain ¨Cirrelevant and powerlessIn short as much as observers bemoan how we got to where we are and the disagreeable choices in Syria this is not about Syria for pro-Israel groups ¡°Assad and Syria are franchise of Tehran ¡± he said ¡°You cannot be against this if you are concerned about Iran¡±The pro-Israeli official believes in the end Democrats will not abandon their president and essentially ruin his presidency (¡°His presidency is at stake¡±)Republicans he cautioned should remember an authorization for use of force has never been defeated and it should not happen on the GOP¡¯s watch as it were He praised the House leadership¡¯s action today and warned that if Republicans defeated the resolution it would haunt the country and the partyI was to be honest surprised at the intensity of the concern expressed From this I can only conclude that the White House is at real risk of losing this vote and that there is consensus in the mostly-Democratic pro-Israel community that the Syria vote and Iran are inextricably linked If so a ¡°no¡± vote would be catastrophicThe question for Republicans is how to move beyond their disdain for Obama and use their voice and leverage to push for a viable foreign policy that for once has bipartisan support Actual costs for some areas and offers may differ.com/subscriberservices.
