You know, it's funny, I'm 26 and struggling (especially financially) to finish my degree. I can relate to a lot of what you're going through, on a smaller scale. I owe lots of $$ in medical bills, I'm waiting for my school to approve my 'medical' (mostly nervous breakdown-type stuff) reasons for not finishing all my courses last semester so that I can once again qualify for financial aid, etc. I also have a thyroid problem (hypo)that may be autoimmune in nature, and currently no health insurance.
So, I understand. You really shouldn't sacrifice your health for dollars.
Meanwhile, I'm working at a job I don't particularly like. I have the opportunity to start at a slightly better paying job that I will also NOT be passionate about in July. I'll probably take it, just for the pay, while I look for something better and sort out my life.
And this morning, when I woke up, I was thinking that I want to do more with my life than just make money and pay off debt. It seems that too many people are forced to squeeze their lives in on the weekend. I was thinking that it had been silly for me to suggest work as therapeutic to you.
But somehow, I still think it is. The right kind of work. Something that feeds your dreams and desires.
Here's to both of us finding a way. . .
