Feeling Down

Latly Iv just been thinking about my life a lot. Everything in my life is nothing I ever wanted. I always wanted to move away not have kids no husband and be a vet. Well Im living where I grew up am married and have an amazing son (who I would not give up for the world, he keeps me going), and am doing all thew bookwork and such for my fathers landscaping company. With that said I am 25 and thinking about going to vet school. That would mean 8 years of school but I would finally have accomplished one of my life goals... Does devoting 8 years to school at 25 seem crazy? Sorry this is a lot of rambling and no paragraphs I am on my phone

    Nah, I don't think it's crazy! Especially if you know it'll make you happy.

    I'm leaving my job to go back to school to be an elementary school teacher and I have a 2 year old at home. The timing is just right for us. You can still work and go to school, it'll just be tough, but in the end I believe it'll be better for you if you're happier and you're making a good choice for your family. 

     

    Good luck!

    I think if you are truly unhappy, you should take steps to change that.  Are you generally happy in your marriage and other relationships?  If it is a career change you need, then 25 is certainly not too old to make that happen.  It will be hard, but not impossible.

    I think we all get in a rut sometimes.  The "fantasy" of what we think our lives will be and the reality can sometimes be very different.  It's not puppies and rainbows all the time.  When I start feeling this way, I try to make a conscious effort to think about what I am grateful for and what in my life makes me happy.  Focusing on those things can make some of the other not so great stuff easier to deal with.

    I dont know if I am honestly happy in my marriage. My husband can be so mean with his words twards me and is just overalm miserable twards me a lot of the times. when I try to talk to him about it he thinks it is justified because he pays most of the bills. He doesnt ever take a moment to look at me who works 7 days a week while taking our son to all four of my jobs. And as far as other relationships aparently I attract bad friends because all my friends except one literally just suck. They want me to be there when they need me which I am but when I need them they are nowhere to be found.... this day just sucks and I really want to just leave and not deal with it anymore.. :(

    I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way and even more so that your H isn't someone that is helping you feel different! 

    I think you need someone to talk to.  It's not normal to not be happy in every.single aspect of your life but you're talking marriage, career, friends which is a lot!

    You should tackle one thing at a time, either work on getting the career you want or your marriage both will make a difference!
