right now i am in a situation in my life where i cant seem to move. i feel the desire to leave my current job and at the same time i dont see how i can. so i havent overcome it yet, but i hope to soon. i hate that feeling of being stuck and having no room for movement. all i can hope is that when this moment in my life is over i can look back and hopefully see that i made the correct decision.

I'm in a similar position. I feel stuck and I hate it. I know what I want, though, so I'm trying to make it happen.

^^^ me too, but i feel like unless the planets align this will never work out the way i would like to plan it. unfortunately a lot of it is not plannable nor is it all up to me. this is why i am at an impass--i cant make the decision for myself and just do it like i would like to. too many variables in the way.
hopefully 2011 will bring us both what we want and need

there's no such thing as an impasse, i think. you can break through it when the time is right. for me, one day i realized that happiness is very very possible. and this was after a period of feeling like life is pointless.

also i have to thank someone i turned to - who simply told me he doesn't have the answers to my questions and cannot help me/doesn't know. we often search externally for answers/help. but sometimes, in life, no one can help you except yourself. and it happens with time. time and patience

I don't think of impasse, I think it's a time of opportunity and decision.
My mom died in June, and I was left with a house to deal with.
when she died I thought "my god, my future is here" and have to deal with my future.. NOW
My plan has always to be buy a house in Las Vegas (that's how I found this site, looking for info on Las Vegas) sell the house, quit my job and move to Las Vegas.

So I am at crossroads.

Everyone goes through impasses in life. A loved one dies, you lose a job or start a new one, moving, marriage, having children, divorce, illnesses, going broke, addictions...you get the idea. There's no cure for life. You find ways to cope by drawing on your strengths and digging down deep. Not giving up.

July 15th 2007...I started the truck with ever intention of going to my apartment where the soft nylon ropes were waiting, the gag, and the straight razor. I broke down crying, I talked to god for a moment, explained I saw no purpose in going on, and hoped if he existed he'd forgive me. Suddenly a car pulled up behind me, and laid on the horn. I wanted to turn left but there was all this traffic coming from the right, and whoever was behind me kept laying on the horn. Frustrated, I finally turned right, and about 30 seconds later my truck broke down in front of a building. I went in to use the phone and my life has been much better ever since!
