Anybody home?? Career options

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I am new here and looking for a helping hand to get me out of the

rut I am in. I appreciate anybody taking the time to read this

message and answer my query. (Please, please help me. I beg you.)

 

I sincerely apologize for the very long message.

 

My mental distress:

I am female, married happily and currently pregnant. While that

sounds like I should be happy and content with my life situation, in

reality I am terrified of what's coming. I have developed

hypothyroidism which increases the chances of miscarriage, an active

uterine fibroid that increases the chances of miscarriage, have a

family history of miscarriages, and am dreaming up a lot of cobras

and snakes. Just the other night, I dreamed of a brown speckled

cobra (does this color cobra even exists?) with its head and fangs

fully open, standing upright on its tail (can they even do that?!),

and spraying venom in my direction. For some reason I sensed it

coming and quickly ducked to escape it. But anyway, as much as it

hurts me to write this I can see where my pregnancy is headed to. I

am really not writing this for any sympathy but just to give you an

idea of what my state of mind is like these days. I am very

depressed, afraid, angry, feeling violent towards myself, and making

everybody around me very, very miserable. I really need to stop

thinking about what's going to happen and move on but I am unable to

think clearly and this is what I need your help with.

 

My work situation:

I have a degree in computer science and worked for a telecom company

until the end of August 2001. At that time I made a decision to

quit work for a while due to some severe health problems. My health

actually started improving around December of last year and I've

been thinking of getting back into work force. Then I found out

that I was pregnant and all the above stuff started happening.

 

Your help:

I've decided to change my career. For one thing, there are not that

many jobs in the IT industry in U.S. these days and for another

thing, I don't think I can keep up with the pace of the industry.

Technology changes so fast and it's amazing how fast your skills can

get obsolete if you are not constantly learning new stuff. But most

importantly I am not interested in it anymore. I am wondering if

business is a good option for me? What kind? What might be a

successful career for me? Surely my chart must suggest some things

that I could be successful doing? Or one that gives me personal

satisfaction? I've never been lucky in my life and I want to give

my next career a push in the right direction with your help. So

please tell me: employment or business? What field(s) are good for

me? Also, anyone want to take a stab at predicting if I am going to

miscarry or not?

 

Here is my info:

 

DOB: September 7, 1974

 

TOB: 9:21 am (a bit suspect. birth record was lost and this was

set by an astrologer or the priest who did my wedding muhurtha but

that marriage didn't last (ended up in a divorce).)

 

POB: Nuzvid, Andhra Pradesh, India

 

If you need any more info, please ask. And I again apologize for

the long post.

 

Thanks,

Siri
