Are you stuck?

Yes, I have definately felt this way before. Usually when I have a lot of housework to do. I don't really feel like I was made for doing house work. I do work from home but I also have the responsibility of doing all the house work because I work at home and don't make as much money as my husband does. I always feel like I should be doing something more with my life. Most of the time I am happy, but once in a while I think that I could have done better in life.

Whatever you want to do, go for it!I know it will be hard to break free but isn't worth it? I want to wish you luck.Me? I guess because I Always say no before I say yes I don't find myself stuck.

There have been many times that I have felt "stuck". At this point I kind of feel stuck with my job. I like that I have a job that I have been with for so long but at the same time I feel like there is no other choice sometimes but to work it. I started going back to school last year. That's been tough but I figure if I want I don't want to be stuck anymore, I'm the only one that is going to be able to change it. I suppose my rock is my responsibilities and my hard place is my free spirit..lol..Take care.

I feel like I am as well. I know how it feels. I couldn't go to school this year, because I owe my school $3,000 because I couldn't find a loan that I would be approved for (even with a co-signer). I tried to find a loan to cover last year's tuition, which I am paying off now, but I couldn't. Apparently I have horrible credit, and so does my dad (who reluctantly agreed to co-sign for me). I am also working for a pretty bad hourly rate at this point (but I'm trying to advance). It just feels like I can't move on with my life until I get all of these crazy things paid off. And I have bills too. Four credit cards, car insurance, gas, health insurance, cell phone bill, utilities, etc. I don't pay for rent.. But there's no way I could at this point (I still live with my dad!). So until I square myself out with all of these bills, there's no way that I can afford to pay off that $3,000 go to school. (Well, after last month's payment..I am down to $2,870! woo hoo for progress!). And in terms of thinking about moving out.. I have NO idea how I could manage to do this, without having a full-time job. And how on earth do you go to school full-time and work full-time too? It just seems like all roads lead back to MONEY. Which is frustrating. But there's always a way out.. In my slightly optimistic opinion. There has to be!

I do feel that all the time! First because I am not working and am a homemaker and secondly because I have major health issues which stop me from doing whatever I thought of doing earlier. Even the smallest physical work is difficult for me. I find it difficult to even play with my kid. Back pain and TMJ with fibromyalgia is making my life miserable. I have to struggle to do things which other people take for granted. Even lifting my hand above a certain level is difficult. But then, I am trying to improve my health with proper diet, regular exercise and a calm mind.

Not everything is the way I would want it but I don't have that helpless feeling or mentality. I have the power to change most things that I'm unhappy with. I have choices I can make. I can improve the situation or my attitude about a situation. And I know that there are better things coming because of my strong faith in God.

oh yea. Right now my husband is facing criminal theft charges. He copped a plea to pay $750 restitution by sept 28th. I don't believe he took the money but they must have some kind of evidence as the public defender and the cop thought he should take the deal. He is also unable to work at his job until this gets straightened out so we really don't have the money to pay this back right now. I am behind on my student loans and the utilities. So yeah I feel that i am stuck in this situation.

yes...its like that for me sometimes...my hubby is businessman and mostly busy and moreover..he is also in politics and so has very little time to spend with family and kids....this i don't like at all..i like to talk and spend time together in family...this i had never thought before marriage....sometimes i feel that there is no change after marriage...only that the family members have changed...but no excitement no happiness....this makes life difficult sometimes

Hi bounce, I have known that feeling but I was the one who put myself into those kind of spots and when I realize that it isn't what I want for my life then I do whatever it takes to change things up and move on. Sometimes circumstances or a series of them will put us in a bad spot but still it is up to us to work through the obstacles that have been placed in front of us.

Yes, there are times, when I just feel stuck. There are just times when I want to make things move forward, but some reason, things are just at a stand still, no matter how much I try to make them move.

Several months ago, I was trapped in an unpleasant situation. I'm eager to get out of that situation. But the more I wanted out, the more I am stuck. Increasingly, I became tired. And finally I chose to give up, and go with the flow.

The main thing in my life with which I feel like we are stuck is in debt. We started on a journey a year ago to pay off all of our credit card debt and that is going just fine. However, that doesn't help at all with the medical debt that we are having to deal with as well. I keep thinking that one day this will all be past us, but for right now it isn't something that is happening and it really stresses me out at times.

Yes, I do feel like this sometimes. I am happy with my work and career. However, I do not consider myself as financially well-off because I am helping with the expenses in our family. I help finance the education of my brother and pay for utility bills. A lot of my friends thought that I am earning lots of money. Well, it's true, I earn a lot from my profession. But I am also unable to save because of the many expenses. That's why I feel stuck sometimes, stuck with responsibilities. I have to pay for what I consider as my financial responsibilities as a breadwinner, before enjoying the money that I earned. Sometimes I wish I can splurge and travel, but there's always too much to consider. Sometimes I wish I can be debt-free, and yet I continue to use my credit card so that I wouldn't run out of cash until the next payday. My only consolation is, I know it's not forever. Just until my brother has finished his studies and can finally earn money of his own. :)

I have definitely felt like this for the pass few months. But yesterday something happen to cause me to want to make some changes in my life. I started making the changes yesterday. I must admit it's a little scary. I can do this by taking it one day at a time.

I get that feeling often, even though I know that I am not stuck. Usually my rock and my hard place is college and testing.

Yes.. currently i feel that i am stucked in the situation - i am not stuck at work anymore, i am leaving soon and i filed my resignation, but i feel that i am stucked in the situation of not being able to move as i like because every move you make everywhere in the world, you need money... i am not sure if it is only me, or even others experience this too...

I'm stuck. but legal stuff is intimidating and expensive and home is comfortable...

Sometimes, yes I do. Back when I was in my 20's I was a complete wild child, partying with the bands, going out every night. Now I have a mortgage, bills. Not that I don't love what I have but sometimes I miss those days. I think I've turned boring. I'd love to have that again, just for the excitment

I have been stuck in a bad situation before, I tried very hard to get out of it but didn't really succeed. I think I didn't tried hard enough or I wasn't determined enough. Later I decided to seek help and now I was out of it, I kept thinking I was quite stupid to have tolerated it for so long, should have done something long ago. Now my realization is, we can change anything, as long as we wanted to. Motivation is very important.

Been there a couple of weeks ago. :) It's when I got bored doing the same routine everyday, and I got fed up. One day I asked myself, is this really the kind of life that I want to live? It's as if I'm not growing as a person. But then I also reflected that, I chose this kind of life and it's where my family is. So why complain. Luckily, I have discovered myLot. So now, I have a way to release some of my pent-up emotions.
