Should I stay or should I go?

@DadTwoGirls I was seeing both a psychologist and a psychiatrist before I moved out, and it really helped. I’m not anymore, though, since I’m no longer covered by my parents’ amazing health insurance. However, I’m still on medication, and that has been working very well for me.

I’m currently majoring in Accounting. Ultimately, I’d like to work for the accounting/finance department of a non-profit organization, specifically mental health outreach. At the moment, I’m already working as an admin for a non-profit and handle some bookkeeping responsibilities.

I barely make enough to support myself, and I definitely don’t have enough savings to live off of while in school. My parents can and are more than willing to support me and finance my education, but to be honest, I’m very proud (just like my dad lol), and I’ve been trying NOT to ask for their help. They helped me while I was mentally unstable, and the whole point of me moving out was to relieve them of some financial responsibility.

My dad was in the hospital last week for nephrotic syndrome and congestive heart failure. He’s at home now, but in his early 70’s, I know he won’t always be ok.
