I felt that way quite a lot this summer, just totally dejected and unhappy. My first conclusion was to dance my way down the street, because while I was that unhappy, I couldn't possibly do ANYONE any good. So I did. And the Swiss stared and were outraged, and that actually made me feel a little better.
After that, I thought about what I'm capable of doing, and what I can do as someone who needs to think not only of her own needs, but also those of her husband. That determined, I set about nannying children who don't speak English as their first language and helping them better develop their skills. It's not a big thing, but they enjoy having me there for them. It's not the life-changing way I felt when I was doing in home nursing, but I don't think I can do that in Italian yet.
I feel like wanting to work for others is a noble goal, but that to truly help them, you must first be at peace with yourself, not just lethargically accepting of the fact that you are. That way, you can help others to be happy, and be better for themselves, and no one else.
