So, the last year or so my life has been in huge upheaval. I had been dissatisfied with my life for a while and decided to move to a new city 3,000 miles away for a change of pace and new career and social opportunities. I was unable to find work and have been unemployed for several months (apart from music gigs, which I did move there for. It takes a while to get started so i was looking for a day job and that's what I couldn't find after literally 1,000s of apps). I ran out of money and am back at my parents' house, trying to figure out what is next, am broke and generally miserable.

I am back at my parents' place now and re-evaluating everything. Should I still keep doing music at all? Should I go back to school for something else? Should I give up completely, just settle for the first job I can get (still no job yet) and live pretty miserably? I am grateful my parents have let me stay here a few weeks but they are putting pressure on me to get out. It is almost entirely senior citizens here, and I have no friends. There is no where to interact with people, my old contacts in my old town have abandoned me. I also am considering going back to CA but with earthquakes and radiation I don't think it's a good idea.

I have my saturn return going on as well as this T-square that's activated by transiting Chiron/Neptune. Blegh. Can you help? What should I be doing now to improve my situation? http://i.imgur.com/8AMDy.gif

??? Those are myths.. No radiation.. And earthquakes are rarely felt, and when you do feel one, you go oooo an earthquake..

I cant really tell you what to do, you will need to make a decision that will make you the happiest.
What would make you the happiest??

Jeez, if I knew what would make me the happiest I wouldn't be asking this question! This is said laughing, but in all honesty.

I have the same scenario as you actually. I moved away from my parents in an attempt to live alone, feeling socially and personally isolated here, but then I didn't get a job, largely because I didn't apply very much, just fell into social anxiety (again), and after living there for a year on welfare going to school (because I was underage, I just turned 18 this month actually)and continuing to fail, I came back home, because my landlord was insecure I'd be able to continue paying rent, because indeed, welfare isn't livable income, and failing school threatened cutting me off. I feel pretty hopeless.

Best of luck.

There are no gains without obstacles. when you have obstacles to make you stronger and more resilient you know you are on the right path. get stronger and be more resilient both of you. i once was all alone in a big city in cal and ended up sleeping safely every night on a rooftop i had to climb metal rungs on a concrete building to get to. i carried my little dog in a laundry sack over my shoulder...then the rainy seasom started! lol! i panhandled small change and then taught A Chinese lady some English in exchange for a bowl of rice. Stuff turned out ok.
