im trying my hand at this again. and i'll try not to waste much of you guys time. but im really feeling low and depressed. im engadged and my fiance is a wonderful woman. she has tried her best to cope with my depression and anxiety. at sometimes i think she has coped with it better than i have. and frankly im very scared because i dont want to run her away with my baggage. it was a point in my life where i was in the military and i would pick myself up and motivate myself. but that hasnt been the case for sometime now. this depression has a serious hold on me, i walk into a job i hate daily, we all need money to survive out here but at what price to my sanity and mental well being should i pay to have some peace of mind??? my fiance was laid off her job recently and it all has fallen on me to make sure she and i are taken care of. and tis added event doesnt help a depressed person at all. im tired of the suffering that she and i have to go through so i felt that maybe going back to school for what i love would be an option. and if you are wondering thats cars. i love fixing cars. that way i could have some type of career and be able to provide for my future wife and the day we have children. is that too much to ask. but the negative people came out the woodwork, and a so called friend tells me school is for suckers,come and be a truck driver.. then certain members of my family like my parents said screw school just try and keep the job you have. that made me feel low, as to say im not good enough to go to school,and better myself and have some type of happy future. im willing to work and go to school thats no biggie, i just want to get to a point where im happy doing my work. where i can feel good about myself. outside of my fiance thats the only support i feel that i have. and she is going through enough of her own,losing a job and dealing with a sick parent. at times i get up in the morning and life really seems hopeless. that why should i even try to succeed. i dont know how to cope with depression at all. it has a serious history in my family. the crappy job that i have offers healthcare that i cant afford,and when i did have the healthcare plan,it said i wasnt covered to see anyone in the mental health profession. i know that i need help and cant afford it at all. one income and bills rolling in. it really sucks and all i get told is.."ohhhh you're okay,there's someone in a worse position than you" and im like really, that doesnt make me feel any better at all about my life. i feel pathetic basically.. but i have rambled enough

Go for it, Tymewilltell11! You still have something you love. You may have benefits you can use. You may need help taking advantage of what you've earned, and that's where a veterans' service organization may come in handy. I have only my own opinion to offer and do not know the whole of what you're facing. Find some positive people, turn off (or at least down) the negative voices, and go adventuring!
