I'm currently studying a 2 year MSc (for my dream career which I've been planning for for years) but unfortunately during the recruitment process all the funding was withdrawn - meaning that since we weren't in a particularly good financial position in the first place I've had to get in to lots of debt to pay for course fees and we're struggling month to month. This month we've got so many expenses (besides Christmas) and I'm not sure we're going to make it through and I'm so worried that I'm not managing to concentrate on studying, which compounds the guilt about what I'm doing to our family. DH is hugely supportive, and in fact I wouldn't have gone for the course if he hadn't convinced me to.
I feel like I've been selfish and I should have postponed a couple of years to allow us to get into a better position but I'm in it now so how do I get on with it and stop stressing? :(
