I feel miserable because I am home from college and I am working.

I have no complaints about the job itself, it’s me that’s the problem. I feel so trapped because I can’t drive so I need a drive to work for the day, and otherwise I am at home unless I can get a ride. I hate how I can’t see my boyfriend during the week, and I can’t stop obsessing over the past, I had a great summer last year working with my sister but she is moving this year because she graduated college. I just feel so miserable because she is moving over 3 hours away and I had so much fun working with her last summer and it was just the best job with the best people and now I am with no one I know and I am trapped here. I obsess over the future with her leaving, and worry every night and cry all the time about it.

It sounds to me like you need a car. If you are working and are living with your parents while home from college, then you have hardly any expenses, unless you are paying off college tuition right now, either way, you need to set up a plan so you can start saving up for a car.

If nothing else, I would suggest getting outside, and finding pleasure in whatever surroundings you are engrossed in. If you live in the country go for a hike, if you live in the city, go for a bike ride to a favorite place. Right now, you need to be happy with what you have. I’m not gonna throw that other people have it worse statement at you, because that just belittles your whole post, and it’s a bad way of addressing your problems.

All in all, just try and get your mind off things, and start window-shopping for cars. Craigslst is also a god place to get a cheap car.

It sounds like your adjusting to “the real world”.

Happened to me to earlier this year. Going from school to working full time at a career job is a huge and probably one of the most difficult transitions I’ve had to go through. And I’m still kind of working on accepting it, 1 year later.

It’s a transitional period - those are always the hardest.
