My life is a messed

I don't know how to do this anymore, I am working 30 hrs a week and going to school 35 hrs a week. I can't study anymore since I need some sleep, and I am taking caffeine pills to function at work. I hate my job since I never even wanted to do it, but my mother was on my case to get a job for a whole year, so I got a job back in August 2009. Then  my mother used me for $1200, all of my value that I work for till January 2010. Then I am steadily building my money up, but I spent $300 to help my brother on his car and he is so lazy and gets away with everything and practically failing school. Then I took my mother to dinners like every two weeks, since she feels like I am being cheap and greedy.

I only have $500 to my name, and never bought myself anything besides a camera, and some hair loss pills which totals about $300 all together. I hate living here all together though.

I feel like I am working for nothing since I want to move to New York City, and I don't know what to do. My life is such a messed because even if I work and never spend another penny I will only have 6 k.

And I am sick of my job since I work the hardest and still the lowest position, and I know I should be promoted but my boss thinks I don't smile enough to be promoted. Even though everyone else, and all the managers tell me I am the best worker... and this one guy only work one week my position and was promoted immediately. He just came out of high school at the time, and was hired the same week I was. I worked there 10 months now, and no results.

I feel like I am just stuck, and what I want to do is quit my job, lose 15 lbs, and then go back to the strip club... but the only thing stopping me is that I know my mother will be disgusted by it, I still care but I am dead tired, I just want to do this. It's something I been wanting to do for 2 years, I planned to do this in January, then I moved it to April, then I am hoping to this June 18 after school end. I hate everything about my life, and I just want to move on, like a new chapter. The job is 20 miles a way, and I have no car, but I have this drive to do this regardless, even if I have to walk 20 miles a day... Even if I sleep 4 hrs a night to be able to walk and go to work. The sad thing I was promised a car all my life, at least my dad said so... and he has like 5 cars, he bought expensive cars, and he doesn't even give me one. I asked him one way back when I was 16, and at the time I didn't have a job, and he didn't even want to help me with the drivers' training. I am never going to ask him again. But he gave my brother a car, and he doesn't even have a job to go too. I have to ask him to take me to current job when I can't walk there. I don't know why I have to suffer so much financially when my dad is doing fine, and it's like I am living my own state of poverty and misery.

And I don't want to admit it, but I feel really ugly about myself. Then I don't see an ugly face in the mirror, I was only called good looking by two or three people in my life. But the one person who told me I was good looking was this lady... and that was in 2008, I can't remember other times.

I was at her concert...

I still don't know how I am going to do well this last month of school, since I am so behind now without sleep.

Megan, for you, Great Big Hugs!!! OK, one more! Answers are much harder to give. Obviously, somehow you need to finish the school year. My personal opinion is you need to stop underwriting your family. If possible move closer to your job, although I don't know where that puts you regarding school. Perhaps a closer job. I said answers are hard to give, but actually, useful answers are hard, easy ones useless. And all of them are much harder to figure out for yourself. But I know one thing, doing every thing you are doing makes you my hero. Please hang in there.
Love,

Susan Kay

PS - Looking at your picture, you can stop feeling bad about the mirror!

in my opinion , school is more important than a job you don't like . although it's very rare that someone likes their job , but maybe not being promoted is because you hate the job . i have a similar problem with my family , they want me to be something (engineer) i want to be something else , i listened to them and wasted years of my life and eventually dropping out this year and changing colleges to something i do like
good luck with everything and i'm sure everything will be fine , just do what both your heart and mind tell you that you want , and then explain it to others

I loved it till March, but I don't think I'll ever be promoted.

I asked the boss in February to move me to a cashier, and she told me "You should be grateful you even have a job". Then one of the co-manager told me that I am a good worker, and he ask me if I wanted to move to a new department, I told him I did. Then two weeks later he was moved to another location, and a new co-manager was hired.

Then yesterday, the job I wanted, they hired a new cashier. Something that I been wanting for months... he hasn't even worked as hard as I did from the bottom and was just hired. That's just disgusting...

I don't even want to give them a two week notice, and just take a month off from work all together and finish this school year.

Wow....

At 2 a.m., in a span of 15 minutes, I was at the lowest point of my life.... it was just so low, I was thinking "I am done with this life, I am heading to the forest and die. I am going to die now, nobody loves me, I hate this life, I hate everything about it. It's too hard, nobody accepts me, I hate being me" Then around 2:10, it went from the lowest, then I opened up my journal, and wrote down my goals in life. All my goals that need to be accomplish by time this certain date happens.

There was only one thing I want, only one thing in life. I am going to get it. Before it was just a want, but now, it's a necessity. I have to do anything to get this, anything, I don't want love, I don't want wealth, I don't want anything besides this one thing. It's the passion that runs in my blood, it's whats going to keep me alive.

I am not going to quit my job right now, I am not going to quit my school, I am not going to die. I didn't know how lost I was until I found this thing. It's always been on my mind but it's now my life, it's my purpose. Want to know what, fame.

Terrific Megan! That's the way to take control. And remember, it is always much easier to get a job when you already have one. I have  always admired people that keep journals - I just have never been disciplined enough to do it; my loss.
