Struggling with Health and Career Goals

Sick of being sick. I wanted to take back control of my life and have a career I want but yet again my health got in the way . I wanted to start a college course to put me in the direction of doing something that would make me happy . But of course to get to the college from where I live I would have to get a bus then walk for 45 mins to get there which would be near impossible with the amount of pain it would cause me .

It's a double edged sword. I have been there friend, but maybe take the trip and see how doing it makes you feel. Sometimes having a positive reason to push through is a good thing while other times it's unrealistic. It's a very very fine line that you sometimes don't know until you are doing it.

Is there something you can do online? Don't give up. Sometimes what we want isn't what is best for us. I hope you can find a career that works for you.

I was going to suggest that too. I was able to get my degree that way.
