I Am So Frustrated With My Life and Feel Stuck

Just Can't Get Out

I am so past frustrated I don't even know where to begin... I feel like everything started right after my wedding, my husband lost his job, we were already struggling and that's pretty much the straw that broke my back. and we basically lost our home and had to move in with the inlaws, which would be fine but it also included 4 siblings-in-law as well, in a very small space, not ideal but at least we weren't on the street, and it's only for a few months right? wrong!! over a year later we are still here still struggling still fighting still trying to get out of the SAME situation we've been in! I'm just so over this stage in our lives and it feels like every time we get almost there somethings happens to send us right back to where we started. I just want to move on i don't want to be struggling anymore I don't want to be fighting everyday i don't want to feel like this anymore! I have so much stress my body is just giant knot walking around my city posing as a human being. I pretty much just want to cry everyday. i don't want to try anymore. I just want to live comfortably, and happily with my husband and not be able to enjoy the fact that i'm married because I'm too worried about EVERYTHING else in my life..... I can not live like this anymore.

    I know the trapped feeling. I was bred for a pre med degree at a private uni, and now that I am finally here not only do I hate it, I have to go back to a tension, drama filled home life becuase I can not affored my education. I feel like my life is some twisting, out of control rollercoaster and I cant get off.

    Anyway, I started this comment out to help you but ended up rambling about my own problems. The point is, maybe it's time to start thinking of alternative routes. The plan I had my entire life has gone to ****. So I'm considering community college, an education degree, and focusing less on what otheres want and more on what my gut tells me. I refuse to pay out the nose for an education. And I refuse to conform to the life I am "supposed" to have. Look at cheap apts, jobs at Mcdonalds, etc. It isnt nearly what you wanted origonally I'm sure, but sometimes life turns out...well...******. But you have your husband. And your freedom, which is what most people take for granted. You have the power to sit down and change your life. Take a day off of whatever it is you have schedualed, chill out, and write out what you need. Then find a way to get it. You need space? Fine, find a cheap apt and get minimum wage jobs that can pay for it. Go from there. Maybe work up to saving money and taking classes to find a better job. Or if that isnt important to you, dont. Make time to spend with your husband and the people who are most important to you. Becuase at the end of the day, it doesnt matter how awful your bed is as long as you're sharing it with someone you love.

    figuratively speaking).I have to wait till my children grow up 2 move on.by then i,ll be to old to remember what i was waiting for.(i would'nt be able to see my daughter if i left her mother,she,s already proved this,and i don't trust anyone else to raise her so she can have a fair chance to be happy and healthy)
