I have a started a new career and have been working at it for about 9 months. I have been a stay-at home mom for most of my life with smaller part-time jobs. Now I have a real estate license and I am working on a team as an admin and agent. I go to the office every day. I like most of the people I work with but I am not aligned with the way my manager wants me to do the business. I am working as an assistant to his wife---I am on call for her and also expected to follow-up leads, nurture my own business and go to meetings and do open houses on Sundays. I feel like a plant that is not getting enough sun. But I don't know what to do. I have had bouts of depression and I feel like this job is contributing to it. It is not without the lighter side but most of the time I feel trapped and just want to leave the office and be free. The I think this is childish and I should have more discipline than that and be an adult and be in the real world. I am 60 years old but this job makes me feel like I am 12. It is sapping my confidence and making me feel worthless. I would appreciate any perspective on what the I Ching is trying to tell me. This is the first time I am using this forum. Thank you.
