I feel pulled in all directions about an important decision in my life. I have my boss, three different friends and my boyfriend all weighing in what I should do. And then of course what I want to do. That is 6 votes in total. The only problem is my boss' preferance is important because he is in charge of my workplace and pay check.
I know already people will likely advise I should do what I want to do. But it is not that easy when there is so many people pointing in different directions - and the person I like the least of the lot - it is the one who holds the most influence simply because he employs me. I secretly always hope someone else takes the reigns and the decision away from me. I always hope for things like that. My depression and anxiety swing me back and forth like a pendulum.

Hello Lacy
Welcome to our site
When life becomes so complicated it is very hard for people to know what to suggest. All you can do, as mentioned in your above script is do what is right by you. Sad to say problems in life are not that clear cut when someone who does not know the problem is asked for advice
My life had become complicated and I had to make some very deep,complicated decisions. That I have done although I had to hurt some people who were related to me
If you want we can give you support and understanding, we can listen to your problems and suggest certain things, although we are not GP s or Social Workers at this time.
You need to also understand that if you listen to family members you need to consider their points of view and if they have hidden agendas.
Personally not knowing if your problem is a health issue it makes it hard to advise who can support your decisions such as GP Social Worker or CPN.
We can if needed to give you support, although as mentioned earlier, understand where we are coming from
