Not really sure where to start but I feel like Im always hanging on by a thread in life...I feel like Im constantly fighting battles within that I never seem to win. Sometimes when I think Im on the right track with something I do a complete switch and go the opposite way or craft a whole new plan altogether. Currently I'm enrolled in an IT program for information security and I'm starting to feel like I don't want to do it anymore but I don't know if this is just me quitting another pursuit because of my inability to commit and follow through. Im not passionate about computers in general but, I do have an interest in design/development technology. It seems when my mood changes I feel different about everything in my life. My past can be summed up as constantly picking up and later dropping pursuits..jobs..colleges. Im literally exhausted from the mental unrest and constant confusion. At this point Im ready to leave the IT school and pursue design/development and just hope that it will work out. Any words would be appreciated.

You have to be careful of switching majors because that does effect your aid. I can't tell you what to do that's only something you can do. If your not passionate about the career now you'll most likely dread it later. I would get some therapy before changing your major just to make sure that's what you want to do. Can you take the spring semester off?

Yes I do realize I need to get back in therapy..

I feel the same way. I was passionate about special education but after six years of it I’m just beat. I’m quitting at the end of the year and I don’t even want a job in education, I don’t want a career at all, I just want a mindless job. Mostly because bipolar flares up for me every so often and I end up in hospital and it’s all a big mess.

So I dOnt have any advice but I feel you.

Thanks, sometimes I fantasize about a mindless job with little to no stress...but then I realize those jobs pay don't pay enough to live off of.
