My family's making me suicidal, but I'm stuck here. What to do with my life, I need advice desperately?
I know this is long, but I'm very desperate for help, and I don't have any friends to go to with my problems... - Im 20 and live at home with my family while Im job searching. I had to leave college, because I couldnt afford it any longer (Im absolutely broke and cant pay for it & no fin. aid is available except taking out large loans) - While living at home, Im having tons of family problems with my mom. To the point where she's tried smacking me around, because I think she sees what she wants to see. She flipped out at me when i was looking in our freezer for my frozen meal & random prepackaged food she over-stuffed in our freezer fell out & i couldnt catch it, so she thinks I'm 'throwing' food around intentionally. I dont how she can come up with something so preposterous & how that would even make sense in her mind. :S - My brother is just as hateful as my mom and says hurtful things like "no one likes you" whenever I come out of my room to grab a drink or if I walk by him. He bullies me like this almost daily. - The hatred and negativity from living here got so bad that I emailed the only 2 people who I know for a temporary place to stay so that I can get away. Although neither replied back so Im literally stuck here, broke, and job searching with no results. I want to work desperately so I can move out. - Im stressed out and cant fall asleep at night for the last 2 weeks. Im crying almost every night and cant control how hopeless I feel about my future. - Also, Im starving and lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. My mom stopped buying food for me (Ive been a vegetarian for 10 years) when she grocery shops for my family. Its like i dont even exist and she spends my dads money on food for everyone but me. - The only positive in my life is my *one* real friend from Canada, who said he can help me and I can stay with him while I get my life straightened out. But moving to Canada is impossible, Im in the US and the paperwork + the fees + the time to process the paperwork makes it so that I cant even see my only friend when I really need to. - Im thinking of seriously joining the military because its the only way I'll be able to get away from my toxic 'family,' get some food, and a FT place to work... - Ive been depressed for years, but never this severely depressed... I feel like Ive lost everything, my hearts been ripped out, Im crippled emotionally and mentally, and I have no way out of this situation. I want to become a nurse, but I cant pay for it on a minimum wage job and I CAN NOT still live here for 2-3 more years while taking nursing classes. I honestly feel like without a nursing degree, I have no future because Im shy and that kills my chances of getting most jobs. What can I do? Take the plunge and join the military? I have no friends to stay with, I cant find a FT job to pay rent. Im broke and cant move to Canada. I cant stay here any longer because it's crippling me and tearing me down day by day.

military is a big commitment and its a horrible idea to just join it because you want to runaway from your mother. i think you should just keep searching for a job and once you find one you can move out and look for a bachelor apartment because there very cheap to stay in. that way you don't have to worry about your mother. it sounds like you got into a big fight with your family. how did that happen? maybe you should try to become friends with them again. i used to get into arguments with my parents as well but your case seems a little extreme.

I sympathize with your situation, mostly because I'm highly familiar with this exact scenario, with a few slight changes. I'm now a 30 year old vegetarian in the army. 6 years active duty and believe me there are a lot of screwed up people in the military because of screwed up families that we ran away from. I didn't speak to either one of my parents for the first 3 years or so. What you need to realize is that you do need to get away from the toxic environment you're in. The military is an opportunity to change your life but that would be your effort to make the changes, they just provide a change of scenery. My situation was my mom remarried and my stepdad was a royal ass. They both had a drinking and drug problem. It was awful. I left home, I worked incredibly hard, my work ethic became uncompromising because I knew I would do anything I had to in order to become absolutely independent from the life I left behind. It's taken years to be able to talk to them, I wouldn't say it's a good relationship but I did send a christmas card this year. A start, right? Anyway, to lock down your answers. 1. Yes, you can be a vegetarian, you need a strong will and thick skin. You will be made fun of, but not harassed. 2. The military can offer the opportunity but you have to put in the work. 3. Yes, get away from them if they are making you doubt yourself, they are family, but they are also hurting you. 4. The military is full of broken people, I'm one of them but I've worked hard and I'm happy. I don't even recognize that life I had before, it's like a bad dream. Some advice, if you do join the military, go into a medical field, use your Post 9/11 gi bill. It pays for almost everything associated with college. Go to school while you're in, they will pay for that as well. 3 years active duty will get you 3 years of full paid college. If you want to talk directly for specifics, contact me via yahoo at marbles331 take care of yourself, If you don't do it, who will?

I am Welmart Melfield it is not really easy this days to find a real loan lender online this days i have search all through for the past few years but all i always come across are all scam and nothing less than that not until i met a friend of mine online of who introduce me to a loan company called the INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COOPERATIVE LOAN COMPANY and i said even if my own blood brother or sister introduce me to a loan company online as long it is the internet i would not applied not to talk of you, because i have been scam a total of GBP26,000 in this process and all of them are being referred to me by friends in the internet but i have to take it as a pain to locate this company and my most luckiest moment was that i am attending a seminal in that country where the firm is located so i went further to trace them if at all, such company is existence and when i arrived there i discovered that it was true that they where in existence and i met with the Management and i spoke with them that i am from the United Kingdom and i needed a business loan of GBP350,000 and they told me that been a foreigner i need to go through some process that will required the service of an attorney who will be representing me in making all the payment and they are going to pay for all fees that will enable the transfer to commence except that of my attorney that will be pay by me because am the one who he will be representing here what ever that goes on he will be the one informing me of what to do and i ask them about the insurance, they told me that they will pay for that and i said this will be a good one so i went further to seek for the service of an Attorney who will represent me and my loan was easily approved after all that process. if there is any one who is need of loan this is their email address: mybizz@businessmailbox.com or mybizz01@live.com am very glad that once in my life after i have been doubting every company that i came across on the internet to be a legitimate company i still find one that finally prove me wrong of my doubt.
