So, I'm 19. I took cosmetology in high school at a vocational school, and was in an abusive relationship my senior year when our state boards were coming around (state board is when you take a written test, and if you pass that you move onto practical which is trough the state to get your cosmetology
License ) . Well because of stress from my relationship , and working .. I flunked the written so I was unable to take the practical with school. Let alone this was in 2011.. I retook the written on my own in June of 2012. And passed ! But now I'm stuck with taking the practical but am totally not ready mentally and physically . There's alot of stuff that is very easy to mess up on. And since I don't have a teacher to show me what I'm doing wrong , I feel like I'm screwed. I'm afraid of failure , since I work 3 jobs. I don't have the time or motivation to do the practical . I think about it every day, and it stresses me out .
I don't know what to do.
I feel like if I just said screw my relationship, I would of passed.. And not have this burden. It's one of the biggest regrets of my life.

Regret is a horrible thing. But look at what you've achieved! You retook the written exam on your own and passed! You survived a tough relationship! That's not easy stuff to do.

It sounds like you have an awful lot on your plate right now. Could you take some time off from one of your jobs? Is there anyone you know who could help you prepare for the exam?

Not really. I need money in order to go through with the test, and to help my mom out since she's disabled . I pay for everything myself.
