I need help. My mom stopped having faith in me when it comes to my goals. The theropist I had in high school told my mom that with out free time that I won't be able to do my best. The last time I wasn't given time to my self I got addicted to Klonopin and almost ODed, also I was only able to get a 2.0 gpa my jr year. Now I have a summer job, online classes, and I have to go to pratice. She thinks that I shoud spend my free time working toward my goals instead of giving me some time to just breath and relax. I am on the edge and about to jump if this continues. Please I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am in a similar situation only qute different since I am an adult with an adult alcoholic child and an and "adult" ex husband who has just had a stroke on top of his parkinsons disease. It is worth it from my limited perspective to hang in there with it. Barely any breathing room is somehow the norm for todays culture. Not that getting use to it is the answere either. And neither is getting overdosed on klonopin although today I had to rely on a second 1/2 mil to get me through. You are young. Yoga and meditation have helped me a lot and I don't think you must be of retirement age to get something out of them. I'm still in this nutty situation but I can take it as part of a whole instead of letting the lack of "me" time overwhelm me.
I'm actually about to start my jr year in college now, but from what you have said is seems you are older than me. From what your comment stated it sound like you have been to hell and back, and you're telling me that I should hang on helped me more than you will ever know.
