Questions about Quitting Jobs?

Hey, I am 24 and have been through a few jobs, some i stayed forever even though i hated it and some did like but not enough hours. The problem i have, is I always , always, feel so guilty quitting a job. Its takes me weeks to even get the nerve to give notice, and my family and friends always have to hear me talk about it 24/7. I feel its the only thing that defines me sometimes (my job), because thats all people ask me all the time..so when i quit jobs i feel like a loser even though the job makes me very miserable. For example i worked one job 2 years as a first aid attendent, i got so bored of it, i drove myself into booze and depression, if i would have just quit that wouldnt have happened. I am looking for a job right now again, but trying to be picky so i can actually have fun going to work once in awhile. But i cannot understand the huge guilt trip i get on when i quit a job, anyone else like this? and how can i just forget and move on from old jobs...thanks for any advice

no regrets ever hun. that's what i live by. you can't go through life regretting what you have done. i like the advice one person gave you about finding another job before you quit the current one. it sounds to me like you are highly intelligent and certain jobs bore you. i think this because i am the same way. i am in the fabrication business myself. unfortunately, i am not as happy as i probably should be. i was in the military and that i loved. i still do. i got hurt and now i can never go back so i make a decent living doing what i do. i will never feel guilty for trying to better myself and neither should you. you are worth more than that. you need to realize that it's just a job. not who you are but rather what you do. i love the discipline of the military and i have been a marine for a long time, however, i am a man first and a child of God before anything. that's what keeps me going and not regretting anything.
