DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER nearly two decades working in sales, I’m stressed out and miserable.
However, I can’t leave because my wife loves the good salary I bring home.
And besides, at my age, who is going to want me – I can’t do anything except for sales.
I’m 46 and my wife is 47.
We have two teenage daughters and I definitely can’t do anything until they have left home.
In the meantime, I struggle to get out of bed in the mornings.

Sunday nights are when I feel lowest. What can I do?
DEIDRE SAYS: Have you talked to your wife? She may enjoy the money but given a choice, would prioritise your happiness.
You sound depressed and when you get so low it is hard to see a way out of a challenging situation.
Talk to your doctor so they can help you get back on a more even keel.
Sales people have transferable skills so there will be other roles for you.
Once you feel a little lifted you’ll see the possibilities that are out there.
