...See more Hi everyone. Im in a doctorate program, and it has caused a lot of stress and anxiety. I am worn pretty thin on a daily basis. On top of that, I recently got engaged and got a house. These should be great things, but no one really acts excited, which has made me depressed. I dont really feel welcome by future in laws, and I dont really feel like my fiancé and I are growing as a couple. I feel like his family is very much involved with every decision or plan we make. I want to feel independence again. I feel like my who life is controlled by school or other people right now. It has made me depressed and frustrated. Im exhausted all the time. Ive gained weight. I have no time for exercise anymore, which is my love. Most recently I found out we are getting him and his brothers dog. I love the dog, but feel as if I wont be able to even go to a park without asking permission from them or finding out if his brother will take the dog over the weekend and I hate that feeling. I feel like I cant control my life because situations like this one keep popping up everywhere. I want to have a life with my fiancé. I love him and he loves me. Just the stress of school, bills, and putting up with family situations has cause a lot of arguing and stress in our relationship. I want to wake up and be excited again. I want to love more and live like each day was my last. Id love any advice or encouragement.
