Dear allicia,

I know how scary it seems. I believe that your anxiety about this and other life decisions is related to your dad and the way he makes you fear any choice which goes against his opinions and plans for you. But you have the right to do what you want with your life, and you also have the right to stop doing things which make you feel bad and stressed to the point where you want to die.

By the way I didn’t realize you were only 22, I just read back to your first post. When I changed direction I was a few years older than you and it all went fine, please don’t worry about your age, this really doesn’t matter and should not stop you from doing what you want to do. You are still so young so don’t waste your time on feeling old:) You only feel old because your worries and fears are weighing you down, not because you really are.

Feel free to post here any time during your process with this change to get support and feedback.
