I'm okay, nothing has happened recently to cause me any stress but I'm still always stressed lol. I've been trying to process trauma on my own because I'm not allowed to go to therapy but it's hard when I'm still living with my abusers :( I'm always stressed to a certain extent because of this and it won't go away until I can move out, cut contact, and go to therapy :/
I feel ya, I basically did the same thing over the past year and a half or so, and I probably wasn't ready for it. I moved to a middle of nowhere cheap af place and work remotely for a company in a place with a higher cost of living, so the pay's alright. Most of the money's going towards getting established and paying off debt incurred thanks to abuse.
Bailing on everything basically as soon as I got my Ph. D, even though I wasn't financially ready was simultaneously the worst and best thing I've ever done.
I'm proud of you for doing that and making it this far! And yeah getting my degree will greatly improve my life because I can get a well paying job after. Kinda hate college though
It absolutely fucking sucks, for sure, but it's really the only path to any semblance of independence in the imperial core these days. I hope you'll be able to make it through and that things will get better!
