Not getting anywhere...

have a lot to get off my chest but nobody to talk to, so I'm just going to post it in a public forum where nobody will know that I wrote it without inviting backlash. Everything right now here is a nightmare. Work wise, I'm hurting from having my hours cut. I do have a supportive girlfriend who insists that everything will be okay. but the truth is, I don't feel it will be. I've been trying to keep up with bills, yet again and again I find myself falling behind on rent and everything else. It scares me too...I once spent months living on the streets when I lived back in the Midwest because I could not find anything that offered much in the way of hope. It's starting to carry over into school too. When I moved out here to the Springs, I immediately re-enrolled in college, hell bent on getting my degree and trying to get my future career going (I'm trying to go into law enforcement). So far, it's been hard on me personally. I'm stuck until next year paying out of state tuition. Sure, a pell grant and an SEOG grant helps out a bit, but it's the student loans that are killing me. I'm nearly maxed out from taking out extra just to get by, and it's not a decision I'm happy doing. There's so much more I want than just this. I don't want to go through what my dad is right now, or my mom for that matter. I live in fear of ending up as another anonymous homeless statistic. How do I deal with all of this? It's starting to burn me out. ibf
