    How do you know if your miserable in your marriage or miserable with yourself? How do you separate your own personal issues with an actual problem. I am writing because I’m depressed and confused right now. I am back at Uni after 6 years and 2 kids. I am consumed by self-doubt in having the ability to not only complete my PhD but also worried about finding a job once I’m done. I have lost the use of the English language, whenever I try to write its like I’m searching in the dark for words that are just at the tip of my fingers. I’m writing just to have the anonymity of freely expressing myself without looking for someone to talk to and crying my eyes out.

    The answer to your issue is as follows:

    Stand with your back to the wind, so that you can feel it blowing equally strongly on each ear.

    Take a large ripe banana.

    Insert one end firmly into your left ear so that it sticks out sideways.

    The other end of the banana will now be pointing at an area of low pressure.

    Armed with this fascinating but vital piece of information, you can now impress your friends with your newly acquired survival skills.

    Hi Confused welcome to the boards and happy posting :lol:
    If you read back your post to yourself you will realise you actually know the reasons why you feel like you do. You are depressed and filled with self doubt. As for your relationship, only you and your partner will know the reasons. Change and stress often cause a little upset in established routines, somtimes leaving the partner who is not experiencing any change to feel left out. Anyway good luck with Uni, I’m sure things will work out.

    Thanks Kent- I know that’s probably true, my husband is feeling frustrated out of his normal routine and environment but I wonder if I’m expecting to much with my own issues that I just need some reassurance that I matter. Its been a hard year with all the self-doubt in my ability to do this (my degree) and myself was confirmed by others. That’s a hard spoon to swallow or get over.

    Anyways going day to day trying to get over it and not let it consume me. I need to go take some class were there is a lot of kicking or punching, might release some of the tension.

    Forum,

    Interesting, I’ll have to give that a try. Eating bananas are said to improve your mood who knows what sticking it in your ear could do.

    It’s an absolutely sure fire way to discover the whereabouts of an area of low pressure. BUT beware – this only works in the Northern hemisphere.

    New Zealanders should stick their bananas in their right ear to achieve the same effect – and Aussies should stick their bananas up their ……….!!!

    Confused.. ignore the advice about the banana. Its not a banana you need its a babel fish… put the fish into your ear (either ear will do) and all will become clear.
