You sound very conscientious
Quote From: annsnydsHello My name is Anne. I am just really having an off day. Me and my mom had a fight again about our usual argument if i should go to school or not and it just seems like i let her controll my life and that makes me more and more depressed everyday. I just wanted to know if anyone has any tips how i could make my situation of living with my parents and being in a bind. I probably should tell you what is giong on. I am a 21 year old girl who lives with her parents and my mom who thinks the best thing for me is to just go to work and that is it. Yes she says she would love me to go to school everytime that i bring it up she says that i should just work to get some money for school. So i tried doing it myself and she just shot it down. I have been in and out of bouts of depression and some times i think about even killing myself but never really tried it yet. The other problem i have and i hate this that i don't have a license and have to have my parents drive me everywhere i want to have my own lisence but mom says to wait and most of the time i listen. I just was wondering how can i say no with out hurting her feelings yes my mom can be mean but she is still my mom. So i was wondering you have any tips for me There are trained couselors at below link that might have some ideas. If you have a college in your area you could check out online to see if they have any positions open. If so, and you think you qualify for one you could apply as often you receive reduced tuition when working at a university. For instance, at University of Oklahoma when you worked full time you were able to take six hours per semester FREE. Plus, since you are already on campus easy to go to class before or after work. There are all sorts of jobs there from entry level to professional. Some jobs have a vehicle such as working for a Florist shop or the Red Cross delivering blood etc. Killing yourself isn't an option and just a lie depression advertises. Don't ever buy into it as a dead end. Just keep thinking and reaching out and you will find the answers you want. Believe it and achieve it. GOD Bless You A LOT and never, never, never give up.
