So here's my situation: I'm at a job which I absolutely hate, I live with my parents, and I have done nothing but gain weight since I moved back to Illinois. I've been at this job for three years and it didn't start getting really bad till this past year and I just can't do it any more so I have been looking for a new job and am waiting to hear back from a place which is similar to what I do now just doesn't deal with health insurance. As for my living situation there is nothing I can do about that until I save up money to buy my own place, can't rent too many pets most places have a limit of two and I have four. And I'm sure the weight gain is mainly due to the stress I've been under since moving back home. Now here's the thing I will move away lose weight start doing good then for whatever reason I have to move back to Illinois. And then the cycle repeats. So about a week ago I thought something has to change. I can't support myself if I can't move up a job grade which to open up jobs requires me to get a degree. Well after some thought I decided to apply to college and do it all online to at least get an associate's degree. I was very excited and thought if I do that full time I will need a less stressful job so I could do retail or waitressing or something easy. So I had a plan and felt I was finally making a change for the better. Finally got the basement clean and it just needs some final touches then I will be able to start working out down here. My life is changing for the better right? Wrong, I logged on to the site yesterday to check the status of my financial aid, can't get it without letters from my previous student loans showing I paid in full or have met their repayment options since I defaulted on my loans awhile ago. Classes are supposed to start the 25th it's the 9th there's no way I would be able to get that in time. Especially since my loans aren't paid in full and I haven't done a repayment option I've just been letting them take it out of my wages. So I'm screwed. I don't know what to do. School is now off the plate. And I still haven't heard from this other job. I can't continue working where I am. It has caused me to have migraines, anxiety attacks, depression, sitting all day in the crappy chairs has been making my back really bad. I'm honestly lost I feel like I just won't be able to better myself and get out of this cycle. I hate it. I had a plan and it was an excellent plan and now it's gone. I was happier than I've been in a long time with my thoughts and plans and now I have nothing.
