7. Don't envy my parents with my issues...

Mon Jul 22, 2013, 03:45 PM

Jul 2013

Still living off, and with, my parents and I'm 31. They are retired or retiring. Have had a few jobs for about 5 years but that's the extent of my working life. Managed to save up enough for education and other things though. Still have another year or two to go at school before I get my IT diploma. Currently have no job. Even when I do get my diploma that's no guarantee of a job. In my defence I've had life long anxiety, depression and other emotional issues that I've been battling, though that only adds more stress for my parents. I don't envy them and I've put them through a lot. Hopefully I can move out soon and lessen their load.
