When I am feeling overwhelmed like that, I write stuff down. Just getting it out on paper stops it from going around and around in your head, multiplying and tangling with other choices, etc.
Sounds like you only have two actual choices; do what you originally wanted with your boyfriend or do one of your mum's three choices? Start with choosing one or the other of those? Then you can do "sub" choices if there are any. Pretend it is like outlining a paper?
Quote:
My mum keeps throwing options at me,
stay at the lodge by the college,
stay with my great aunt and uncle during the week,
go to a college further up the coast and live with her friend during the week.
My boyfriend has been asking me non-stop this week which college I'm going to. I planned on getting my own place (I turn 18 in a couple months) and letting my boyfriend stay with me when he needed to go to college for his courses.
