    First of all I commend you for having the foresight to realize where your passions are. I was in the same situation as you but my situation ended because I ran out of money and could not continue down (once I think about it) an empty and unfulfilled career. While I agree with Rachel, my prospective is a little different. I have seen and known people who have went to school for 3-6 years, obtaining degrees in fields they thought was what they wanted just to graduate with huge college debt and the desire to not even work or seek employment in their field of study. Many have actually gone back to school for the degree they wanted, all the while incuring more debt. They may be happy but broke, lol. Those who decided to continue on with their degree (for the sake of money) end up bitter and asking themselves “What if I would have followed my passion the first time?”. Ultimately you have to make the decision to either tough it out or cut your loses because in the end you are the one who have to face the consequences. Just make sure it is the right choice you can live with and accept.

    Update:
    I finally got to the root of why I was afraid to exercise. During the previous time, I was working out with someone I would have considered a friend but the friendship ended shortly after. After much contemplation and forgiveness to myself and my former friend, I have started my fitness plan. I have joined a gym and I have been working out for nearly a week. I am finding I am actually enjoying going to the gym early in the morning and doing something to take care of my body and to help me with my stress.

    Thanks Matt for your encouraging words. I did not want to say why I was in pieces because I felt I am giving it power to control me if I bring it up again, even though it still is to this day, lol. In hindsight, it seems small and irrelevant once I think about it. I guess I will contiue on my path, one day at a time and let go of the notion I am a fraud for seeking answers and truth.
