Do you ever feel like your life is in fast forward?

Question: I'm 18, I have 2 small jobs that I do in the evenings. I work at a Chinese for like 15 hours per week and doing Avon which is like 2 hours per week. I go to college, and I have to do coursework so that takes up time, and I have my boyfriend which also takes up time, but in a good way. My parents and I don't exactly get on so I can't turn to them for help, and whenever I want to talk to my boyfriend about how I never have any time to just sit down, he thinks I'm over exaggerating and makes it into a joke.

I know I'm only 18 and I shouldn't be complaining at such an early stage in life, but does anyone else feel like this? I know when you're a parent who works, it's difficult, but I'm 18. Any solutions? I can't think of any because I need both jobs to start driving lessons and for Christmas.

Answers:
Sometimes it seems people are born in fast forward. When I was 17 I had a full time job and a part time job, went to school full time and part time and had a sick parent to take care of constantly. My girlfriend at the time also went to school full time and had a full time and part time job. we actually met at our full time job. It is very difficult to juggle absolute necessities. Life is a demand but yes it will slow down when you make it do so. Running FF all the time will burn you out, you should talk with your boyfriend to be more supportive of your plight, and tell him making jokes about your feelings hurts. He may see that you are running yourself into the ground and be worried about you, and is using jokes to cover up his uneasiness. Keep up the good work as best you can, but be aware of your limitations and say you can not once in a while. Sounds like you will go far in life once you let it settle down for you. Always know it is a good thing to know you can go into FF when you need to but it is not always necessary.

I know how you feel but you know that you should stay in calm and control. Space your time. I you can't work then don't. Maybe even skip work. Have a day to yourself and enjoy.
