Confused and lost

[TruckersWife4life]

Good morning all, hope everyone is doing well. Today is a good day for me. My anxiety is ok today. But I have a huge decision to make. My husband and are truck drivers and travel all 48 states. I get my degree in 7 months after 3 years of online school. Well my husband wants to buy his own truck and honestly it scares the hell out of me. I want to support him but it will be 5 more years of not working in my degree field. I love being out on the open road it really helps with the anxiety most of the time but there are times it doesn't. I'm I overthinking or should I follow my heart? Have a blessed day all.

Gosh that sounds like a dilemma. But, you have put time and effort into your degree and I would think you'd want to start using your knowledge, right? 🤔

A part of me does, but another part of myself says to live a life of semi freedom and no drama life.

You just spoke my language when you said "no drama". No drama counts for a lot these days!

It's a tough decision to make for the reason I have and still am working hard. My degree is in psychology and maybe I would be able to do both. I do know that I love the freedom of not being tied down to one spot and being able to talk to all kinds of people in this country. I was just driving for the sake of supporting myself and helping my husband. I never in a million years think I would love this so much.

I found that driving helps me to relax, even though it can be draining. I say go for it. My preference is over the road or coast to coast. My husband and I tried local and it was just not a good fit. I've been trying to find a way to practice my field and stay over the road, just won't be driving.

I will, have a blessed night
