Hey everybody! Just wanted to say thanks for having me on here.

Just needed to find a place to help me through life, right now Im juggeling so many things in my life and its honestly stressing me out and now leaking into anixety.


Im in college and still living with my mom and her bf, they are expecting me to get good grades WHILE i work a full time job (I work 3-11 m-f) it used to be 5-9 every other day and weekends but thye ended up letting me go and I was stressing out over money which was making me anxious in other expects in my life, like "will I be able to get to school?" "Do I have enough money to pay off my car" "Do I have enough money for food" ect.


Now with school, my mom's bf wants me to start paying rent if I do not get good enough grades.... like im struggling enough trying to study just to end up failing at the end. And of couse this is making me stressed because I have the most perfect grades in highschool and out side of school I am very smart for my age, I work in the feild that im majoring in but not being paid the amout I would like. I just cant for the life of me do test and every night when I go to bed I have the sinking feeling of "maybe I should of studied more" or "maybe I should of typed more of that paper instead of hanging out with my family like a decent human being"


Im just so fustrated and dine with it! Im jugling all my likfe right now; school, work, my what little social life I have, my relationship, hobbies, my car's bills, and medical crap. Like I'm done, i feel so trapped... I feel like everything is crushing me at once....Im scared to tell ya'll the truth.


With all this stress and aniexty its making me sleep like crazy because im so stressed, my mind is running like 1000 miles per second. I cant take a minuet to catch my breath, im up and going and when I do, I sleep. I just sleep or worry about what is to come.


So if I can get any help on what to do that would be amazing, thanks everyone

I can see how it's hard for you and how you can feel trapped. IMHO, noone should work and study. It's too hard. Have you tried to negotiate with your mom and her BF about rent? Deferring it till you out of school? Can you take loans? All the best on this difficult situation.

They won't listen because they are hard headed and its either thier way or hit the road. I love my mom and her bf and they did a lot for me already but Im just to stressed out from this and its causing me to worry.
