I'm totally losing my mind. I'm WAAAY too busy. I need help finding options.
I go to work every day M-F 7:30-4:30PM with a 45 minute commute in the morning. When I get off work, I commute 15minutes to school, change and start my school day ,which is from 5-9PM M-F. Then, I drive another 45minutes home, make dinner, talk on the phone to my boyfriend, and go to sleep at midnight (or later), and wake up and do it all over again. On the weekends, I fly to see my boyfriend who lives 8 hours away. I HAVE NO TIME FOR MYSELF!!! I am running at a speed that I can not maintain for much longer. What can I do?
I HAVE to work full time because I need the money. Right now, I'm living at home because I live in an exspenive city and can't make ends meet.
I HAVE to go to school because I need to get my education so I can have the job I want.
My schedule currently is 6 hours of sleep a night and working 12 hour days.
Serious answers only!

The BF is not the problem. He's kind and understanding. I visit him instead of him visiting me because I live with my parents and he wouldn't have a place to stay. Hotels are too expensive here as well.

O.k. first… try to find work a little closer to home. Second school is good. Third don’t stay on the phone with your boyfriend for so long, if anything call him on the way to work and on the way home from school. Forth tell your boyfriend to fly to see you sometime instead of you ALWAYS going to see him that should save you some money right there since you live in an expensive city.

You need just you time. Take every other weekend and be away from everyone. Go out of the city and shop in places you have never been before. No need to buy if you don't want. Grab a latte and have some YOU time. You are only young once do not ruin that wonderful time by over stretching yourself. SLOW DOWN and enjoy life.

You are making these choices, and you will have to make other ones or accept this. You don't have time for yourself, because of the choices you have made.
What costs so much money? The trip to see the BF? Does he require you to visit each weekend, or require you talk on the phone so long? Or is this your choice?
My suggestion...take a few weekends and evenings off to save some money and get some rest. If he loves you, and is at all sensitive and aware...he should suggest this himself.

You need to have your boyfriend come and see you so that you can relax on the weekends. An if you need money how are you able to fly out to go see him every weekend anyway? If you cut that out then maybe you'd be able to cut back on some of your work hours and actually save some money in the process.

I would seriously consider cutting back on your hours at work until your school is finished. Concentrate on school and take a few full credit semesters,since your living at home this might work out for you better.
I think your boyfriend should take time out to see you instead of you paying for a flight to go see him,that is ridiculous.

Quit visiting your boyfriend for now. Why isn't he visiting you??? Make him fly to you.
You can lower your hours at work, I'm sure you could get some type of scholarship with less income. The FAFSA will give you good money seeing that you only work part-time (if you switch to part time).

Welcome to the human race - seriously. What are your priorities. In my opinion, the bf is at the bottom of the list. There are only so many hours in a day. You will one day be done with school. Your future is most important right now. One day you will be finished with school and have more time. If your boyfriend is a good person, he will understand.

I know that you have a lot that needs to be done but you seriously need to lighten your load some. is there any way you could find a higher-paying job where you would work less hours? and that's closer? You could reschedule some classes. But no matter what - always make a little time for yourself everyday. hope this helps!

Stop, and take a breath. Now, settle a better schedule for your boyfriend, go only once every twoi or three weeks to visit him, believe me, it'll work so much better for you.
