Not in a good place

    Hi Guys,
    Always get great advice here and find it a good place to get things out that I'd rather not discuss with people that know me.
    I just want to say, I know there are plenty of people in much worse positions than I am and I feel bad for even feeling like this as in the grand scheme of things, I'm quite lucky.
    Basically, I'm in a really weird place right now, I'm not happy with my life at all. Have never felt this way before and don't really know how to go about snapping myself out of it.
    I'm going through a bit of a rough patch in my relationship and feel like I just want to run away from it, not happy in work and feel I'm not getting paid enough for what I do - nothing I can do about that really but am finding it hard to get from one end of the month to the next and am sick of having no money. Doing an evening degree 3 nights a week after work and am worrying about failing and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing.
    I just feel so fed up with everything and want to get away from it.
    I'm in work right now and I just want to get up and leave, but even if I was at home it wouldn't make a difference, I'd still feel like this.
    I literally want to run away from myself. It's horrible. I just feel like crying right now, I have a terrible feeling of despair/hopelessness.
    I've been feeling like this for a few weeks now, thinking about moving to a different country on my own and getting away from everything and everyone, but as the saying goes, wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
    I don't know what to do really, I feel like I'm stuck in a hole and don't know what to do to dig myself out.
    I'm normally a happy person and just get on with it but this feeling just won't seem to shift.
    Not really sure what advice I'm after but getting this out before I explode is the main reason for posting.

    Any tips on how I can snap out of this would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I can't really give you any practical advice for what you can do right now, but I can say that I've been in exactly your position (longer ago then I care to think about :() and the good news is that pretty much everything that's getting you down is temporary, and will pass.
    I'm guessing that if it were just one of the three things (money/college/relationship), you could cope, but all three at once is tough. Part time college really does take it out of you as well - so give yourself a bit of credit.

    I know it sucks when someone says "you'll be grand" but the thing to remember is that it's ok to feel fed up - it's a genuine response, to a genuine situation. The thing to cling on to is that it's temporary, it's character building, and with the exception of the relationship issue (possibly), it's all things that will resolve themselves eventually without you having to do anything.
