To think it was all a bit pointless really

[ilovegiraffes]

I had a baby young.

I went to college and university to try to get qualifications.

But it’s just led to a job which has created heartache and stress and I still don’t have much money.

Aibu to honestly say I regret my life

Which bit do you regret? The order?

What else can you do with your qualifications?

Curious as to what specifically you regret

All of it.

Obviously I regret having a baby so young.

But having done so I shouldn’t have tried to just carry on as if I hadn’t. If that makes sense.

This is where you are now, it doesn't mean it will be your situation forever. You might need the degree for something good in future.

But then if you had of gave up and just looked after your child then by the sounds of it you would have regretted that too

Take a really good look at where you are now and, instead of picturing where you want to be in some odd ideal world, write down all the good things and bad things about your current situation.

This will hopefully give you a really clear idea of what needs to change.

Do you need:
More time alone?
More money?
A different job?

Hopefully by appraising exactly what's wrong right now will help you to see where to go, you can't go back and re-do anything but you can reform your current situation.

Thanks. I can’t redorm it just got to wait it out

How old is baby now?

22

Sweet! You can do whatever the fuck you want to then! You're still young and have decades of active, productive life left. A huge advantage to having your baby young.

What would a good life look like to you?

Really, I can’t.

Care to elaborate? I'm sure there are plenty of people here who can advise you if you have difficult circumstances
