Maybe your change is to go back to school and get training for something better, something flexible or challenging or whatever you would like out of a job. Maybe going to school away from your current town is one way to deal with what you are going to do with the rest of your life. There are loans that could support you while paying for school. It would be tight, but could be worth it.

And at 24? To be settled down? You have some time. And maybe you don't want to be married at all. That's your call and yours alone. People are weird. They like confirmation that their lifestyle is normal. I'm telling you your life is normal.

Your T is just checking to make sure you're not going into a mania because taking off or wanting a major change like you're suggesting could be a sign. But you're also 24! You are just building your life. What you want is normal. And guess what! You will have this question at various times in your life. I did a major move at fifty to go back to school-all the way across the country. On my own. To a place I had no-one-no friends or family.

Now such a move could trigger a mania. I made sure I had healthcare where I was going, and I have been very lucky to find a superior health care team. That is a consideration when you move that there are shrinks and therapists where you are going.
Thank you so very much for the kind words! ;;

I've thought about getting certified to teach, but I don't want to teach here. Anywhere but here lol. I have been looking into different programs that I could sign up for and get certified for this deal. I also want to write, but I know that's a riskier career to get into. I am supposed to be getting some money in soon that would be enough to move and rent an apartment...but like what Gabyunbound said, I don't want to move unless I have a sure give in job set up.

My dad keeps telling me that I need to be patient, but it's getting harder and harder to deal with this lifestyle. I know I need something better and I know I need to play it smart, but...damn man.
