Thanks for your reply. I know that we're considered "young" but don't you sometimes wish you were already settled in with what you want to do? I think a lot of my problem is that I grew up in a really affluent neighborhood and all my friends were rich, so they've all been able to go on to complete their University degrees and either have jobs in their field or are still continuing on with masters and PhD programs...and I feel like I'm fledling in comparison

I definately do try and keep busy and get out of the house...I'm very similar to you, I go to the grocery store almost every day and my cardio is always outside so at least it gets me going somewhere.

As for University, I'm doing it through Athabasca, the all-correspondence University and I'm taking a bachelor of administration degree with a focus in health administration. I think it's something I would like to do...I chose it because it is in a health-related field which I find really interesting but I know I couldn't be a nurse or a doctor, plus, because it's a business degree if I want to do something else they're a pretty flexible degree to have (even if I wanted to move up in the ranks at the bank I currently work at).

As for the creative writing classes, nope, not taking any of those. I don't even think I can count them towards my degree, all the writing classes are business writing and things like that. I have taken a lot of creative writing classes before though...now I just want to write!

As for my job, I'm definately going to be looking for something else. Because my anxiety issues are so severe, my psychiatrist has recommended to my employer that when I do go back they place me in a different position, one with "less interaction with the public and more administrative type work." Generally, my company will honor that so I should have a slightly more mundane, but less stressful job. If they're not willing to do that then I will probably start looking elsewhere.
