my life is a mess right now
I just moved to a new state with my boyfriend and we don’t know anyone here. My boyfriend works from 7am to 8-9pm almost every day, if he gets home earlier it’s no earlier than 6pm so i’m always by myself all day. I also can’t drive due to severe driving anxiety but this is something i’m actively working on improving. On top of all of that I am constantly staring at a screen all day because I go to college online and i’m taking the max amount of credits. I don’t have a job due to using this year to focus solely on graduating school. Being unemployed is really taking a toll on me, I feel so worthless for not working even though in the back of my mind I know i’m not because focusing on school is important to me. I’ve been trying to get myself to go on 1-2 hour long walks most days and every Saturday I go do a big hike and then every Sunday I grocery shop and try to golf but i’m so tired and burnt out that it’s starting to get really hard for me to these activities. I’ve also had a headache for two weeks straight now and i’m always SO tired. I need to do something about this before it gets really bad. I’m posting here hoping someone has gone through a similar situation and can give advice on how to get myself out of this rut.
side note: i’m currently trying to use online apps to meet friends so hopefully this helps! I also want to try creating a daily routine as i’ve heard that really helps with burnout.
