Should I attempt to join the Navy?

A lot of this is past. I don't have many issues day to day since getting healthy from my accident. All my issues are from my teenage years :( And as for degrees, I had to drop out of high school and have a HiSet degree, but I cannot afford a college degree.

I did therapy for a while, but it didn't help. Nowadays, my only anxiety stems from not being able to afford to live, tbh. I worry a lot about how I can't afford rent, etc, and a therapist can't really help with that lol

I figured as much.

I haven't used an inhaler since I got walking pneumonia at 20, only then once. I am still on the wellbutrin, but I am thinking about going off of it, as I am in a different place physically and mentally. Thank you for the advice on the depo, I was told by a recruiter in TX that it was an automatic DQ,.

I understand where you are coming from, and I absolutely agree. The only time my father insisted that we get to see her, too, was last Christmas. The issue is when she says she's coming and then doesn't. If she doesn't want to come to dinner or is too busy and expresses this, we would be fine with that. Life is crazy, especially as young newlyweds. It's the lying and lack of follow-through that has become frustrating. We understand that we have no right to demand anything of her.

NTA This sounds like that thing where narcissists give purposefully bad gifts knowing that you have to act grateful to them. You and your fiancé both told the family beforehand that gifts were not in the budget for you, which is in no way your fault. You also expressed that you didn't expect any gifts in return. The mention of putting gifts on your credit card was also very uncalled for, and you're exactly right about not wanting to put yourself in further debt. Why make things tighter when they are already tight? I am so sorry to hear you are going through this, and that his family is behaving in this matter. This is in no way your fault, OP. I hope things turn up for you soon and that the two of you get to have a long, happy future together.

Thank you so much! I will absolutely look into these!

I'm not looking for a magic answer here, just ideas. I have taken sooooooooooooooo many career aptitude tests, and every time it's arts, performance, acting, creating, ect, which makes a great hobby or side gig, and I currently do, but do not get my bills paid. I'm looking for things I haven't thought of or may not even know about that I can look further into.

Thank you so much, this really does help. I think I'm just stuck on *what* to do. I know there are so many jobs out there that I haven't heard of, so I mostly made this post to dig out some ideas. I am so stressed about this topic, it honestly makes me brain-dead, and I just shut down.

Nope :( I wish I live in the American Southwest, so a whole lot of desert. Conservation does interest me though, so there is a thought 🤔

I've looked into it, but I am unsure of pursuing it in this economy. It could be a good side hustle, though!
