EAD (WorkPermit)

Well, today marks 200 days without updates. Suddenly, I'm finding myself hopeless, tired, annoyed, angry. I guess my case is not as extreme as others I've read here, my husband is working, and thanks to the universe we don't have to worry about our rent or food. But still, I'm extremely anxious and tired of waiting. I've tried to talk with him, my family and friends, but their motivational speeches are getting old. I don't know if I'm exaggerating, but they don't seem to understand how cruel and exhausting is to have another, ANOTHER, week gone without any type of news. All they say is "enjoy your free time while it lasts!" "read a book!" "walk a bit, you are in NYC" "learn new skills!"... And I mean, that's what I've been doing since I arrived to this city, I did a masters, I got out of my comfort zone, I learned about gardening, I've painted a couple of óleos, I created a awesome web page with my portfolio, I've never been so consistent gym wise as I am right now, I'm reading fiction, I'm reading about business strategy... But, I've achieved a point in where I don't want to continue thinking about "what else should I start doing so I can invest my time wisely while I wait"

Why am I feeling so annoyed and depressed if apparently I've got everything I need? It's such a horrible feeling. What is this pressure that society puts on our minds that makes us feel that if we don't work we are damaging our chances of being successful in whatever we want to with our life?

Thank you for reading, it would be nice if you guys also share your emotions here, as a way of catarsis... Peace out.
