I am 25 years old and I feel so stuck in my life right now. There are so many things I want to see and do and I just feel like I am never going to get to do them. My husband and I moved to Florida a year and a half ago and it has been no picnic. I was not able to continue my massage therapy career because the state does not approve the pennsylvania school were I studied. It totally sucks not being able to do your passion. I know I can go to a school here in Florida, but unfortunatly we are in a finacial bind. We have been threw some really hard times lately. We even seporated in August and I moved back to my parents house in Pennsylvania. There I felt like my self again. I was happy. My husband and I worked out our problems and I moved back to Florida near the beginning of November. I am back in that same rut again. I have no job, no friends here or close relatives. I don't know how to get myself out of all this.

i'm so sorry to hear about the career thing. Unfornately I am able to practice - got a business together but not taking off as quikly as i would have liked to it- getting into some troubles finanically as well. And you're right, every time i think of closing it- it sucks because i love what i do. it feels good- it's crazy to some people but anywho.
All i can say is find another job doing something else for awhile until you can get some money saved for school down there or think about moving back towards home. Sometimes we have to do things we really don't wanna in order to make the best of the situation and in the end get what we want.

Girlfriend,
I know exactly how you feel. I, too, am 25 and I used to feel like my life was going nowhere, but I recently realized that I had to put myself out there even if it meant starting small. Small is good, and small is safe. Go out and make some friends. My girlfriends and I have the best time together. After we've had a day together, we feel like we can face the world again. You can do it. Don't worry about the massage thing right now. Your hands are tied with that, so stay busy with something else until you guys can afford to send you back to school. Good luck! P.S. Florida sucks for not accepting your credentials!

Your answer is somewhere in "..There I felt like myself again."
THINK about it. When you say you & your husband worked out your problems, it doesn't seem you worked out YOURS. You simply can't keep vacillating; here you are--unhappy again. Is there some "valid" reason why you moved to Florida? Is there any reason why your husband couldnt/wouldn't move back to Pennsylvania where you could pursue your career & not feel "lost?" I don't have enough facts, so I won't judge. Yet, if your husband loves you, he will make whatever compromise is necessary to ensure your well being. You need to evaluate what is most important to YOU. I'm sure this will be a difficult decision, but it is yours.

It sounds like you need to come home. I had the same feelings when I was away in the Army. At first, it was fun to travel and live in different places, but then I realized that the people who cared the most were back home. I've been back for 3 months and feel more at peace than I have in a long time.
Talk to your husband about moving back to PA. If he doesn't want to move back, consider moving back on your own. Your happiness is important too.
Besides, there is not better place than good ol' PA!
God bless you in your decisions....

I am not sure of your religion or if you believe in God..I am taking a chance here with your name being witchy woman...but when I have trouble..and I have had major bouts of depression..feeling lost, etc...I turned to God...prayed alot ...and I found peace and came out with a better outlook on life..Because God comforts us and gives us the ablilty to cope with what life throws at us.
Pray for new friendships..but also use your own ablilities to get out of the house..join a club or something. Ok...you cant do exactly what you want for work...but I am sure you are qualified for other jobs...if anything the job will give u extra money and the opportunity to meet new people...A lot of my very close friends have come from various jobs I have held. And maybe the people you meet might know of ways you can get finacial assistance to get back to school...Best of luck!

You might try going to some massage places you would like to work in and see if they could sponsor you in getting your liesnce updated by working ofr them doing something else. If you can get into a job, you will meet people and things will turn around.
If you must have relatives around you, it is time to move.

If you get a job that should help alot. I am not working now and I feel lost. When you work it gives you a sense of purpose.

Your happiness should be your first priority. Go home. Find your independence. If your husband is on the same page, then he should come along. If he can't understand your need to be happy, then leave him.
