How to stay motivated while working a job that’s not for you

It gets harder and harder every time I do it. And it makes me more miserable every time. I just got back from visiting my sister in Florida a few weeks ago.

I was there for a total of five days; two of those days were spent helping her pack and move everything from her apartment. I hated feeling like I had to rush back to Missouri because I had to be at a physical place of work at a scheduled time.

I currently work in a pharmacy full time. I never look forward to my job for many reasons.

I work so much better alone when I make my schedule

I’m self-motivated, and I have so many ideas of my own and not enough hours in a day to implement them all.

I’m not at the point yet where I can quit my full-time job so I've tried to make things more bearable for myself for the time being. That way I don’t go crazy and destroy my mental health in the process.

At my job, I feel singled out.

I’m not even seen as the most influential team player, no matter how hard I try. Sometimes it seems like my bosses don’t let me work independently enough, and it infuriates me…
