AzurePaleSky iBarty Okay so..I think part of the reason why I want to stay away from the net is because I'm depressed. Everything lately is going up in price.. The minimum wage will go up where I am too, but still..what good is that going to do when everything else is up? My mom and her friend were talking about this last night when I was with them.. And my mom said something about a recession, and then her friend thinks it's more of a depression which is even worse (it doesn't help that a lot of businesses around here are closing). Maybe the thought of that scares me? At this rate I'll never be able to leave home because I won't be able to afford living on my own or even with a friend (depending on rent I suppose and other costs like my phone and everything). I already know I'm never going to own a car.. I mean, I could learn how to drive so that when I go on trips with people I can help drive and let other people sleep..but I think that's the furthest I'd get. The only problem with that is when taking a bus, I can't always find jobs along the bus line.
It's just..I don't know. I don't feel like I can afford to live.. I know I'm only a hassle for my mom and with everything going up it just gets even worse. I don't expect anyone to reply to this. I expect some of you to think it's just a way to try and get attention but it really isn't. This is just..my haven, or used to be. A place where I could get help if needed. But it's like, I'm not even close enough to people for that. I try and help where I can, but I feel at such a loss sometimes because I don't know what said person is really going through unless I've experienced it myself.
I don't know much of anything right now..I just know I'm really hurting. It'll pass eventually like most things though, that I know. It just really sucks.
And no, I'm not going to off myself. Sorry if part of what I said earlier seemed that way. As always, I can't take pain well so that's what would stop me. I haven't cut in years and really don't want to go back on the meds. I mean, the bits of depression that come up are here and there..not all the time like it was before. Ugh, now I'm just rambling. It can be difficult, but could you always try to go back to school maybe? You could apply for loans and financial aid, and it would be easier to get a job if you had a higher degree. Or you could just keep trying to find a good job. Good luck, and feel better! Well..I haven't gone to college yet. It might be something I should consider. I think one of the main things I crave is interaction with other people. However, because of my wonky work schedule, the only thing I'd have time for are online courses. However, there's a problem with that. They'd end up being accelerated courses. It's only one class at a time though, however..I've never been the best at learning. Things just don't sink in so I think I'd be more set up to fail if I went the online way. With everything going on though with the price of everything jumping, I think I'm more scared to do something like that because I don't want to be in debt. I realize with college there's no way out of that unless you're living off of mommy and daddy's money..I don't know. I know of a college I want to go to, but I'm just..scared. I'd have to take a bus there, which isn't a problem but it's in the next state over and I'm not familiar with the town at all.
I want to go to college, but at the same time I don't because the whole being in debt thing is scary. I'm afraid that I won't have enough money for everything I need. I don't know what I want to do for a major either..and I feel like I'm never going to figure it out.

I don't know what I want to do for a major either..and I feel like I'm never going to figure it out. You can start out at a community college. They really cater to first time students. This year was my first year back in school, and they really went out of their way to help me. And I am sure you could work something out with your job to work days or nights only. Tell them you are going back to school.

Akimbo This medication is messing with me. I've barely eaten anything since I started it last Friday. Still haven't eaten anything today except a pretzel. gonk That's no good, Aki. Even for a medication that reduces your appetite, that's just not normal. I hope it balances out soon for you. sad heart

They thought it might be cracked because of where the swelling was worse, but the x-rays looked fine. Still, it's going to take two to four weeks.

I have some friends that go there, and they've said pretty good things about it as well but I don't know.. I think part of my reasoning to go there too is because they're very diverse there and get students from all over the world there.
*edit* Though, this reminds me that if I go there I have to take summer courses to prepare me for college.

Diverse schools are nice because there are all kinds of different people to get to know. Sounds like the one you're thinking of is pretty good, especially if your friends like it too! 3nodding

I met some people through one of my friends that goes there and they seem nice too.. The whole college thing scares me still because I was never good in school and if I failed my first year I probably wouldn't want to go back because I'd feel like it's a waste. sweatdrop
