They are putting away serious money and I know I should be doing something more but I can't figure out what. I was accepted to a medical program, but an embarrassing fact is blood makes me sick. I don't know what I can enjoy that makes big bucks. I'm taking a chance now, dropping a career I hate, going back to school, hoping the wife and I can get picked up after graduation to work for a US company in Taiwan for big bucks, and still do a side business to catch up to my sister. My grandparents just recently died... my grandmother left me a several hour long tape telling me how smart I was but she was so worried about me and about my future success.. and telling me not to disappoint them.. etc. I'm going out of my mind trying to figure out how to make it. I seriously was hearing voices a few weeks ago and thought I was losing my mind.. but it turned out just to be anxiety. Well, fuck me. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm just going to press on and try my best to make it big. Whether it happens or not, I'm still going to be dead in 60 years, so what does it matter. My children might just blow it all anyway, right? Ugh.

LOL, you have three options.

#1 Keep trying to keep up with the family pressure and maybe you make it maybe you don't but you will be miserable trying.

#2. Go back in the military and say serving you're country is a far noble'r than any amount of money making

#3. Get some mental help and understand that if you are comfortable and well off there is alot more to worry about.

Do you want you're kids to have the same pressure to over succeed that you have. Do you want them to have the same stress as you have? If not you need a change.
