25? Now What?

2018 was the worst year of my life. I started the year off with knee surgery. I then started my practicum student teaching working with a wonderful band director, but my advisor/professor had no faith in my abilities. She ultimately set me up for failure and watched me fail rather than help me. I had just been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PTSD and put on new medications. My diabetic dog then had a seizure and died in my arms while I was home alone (the rest of my family had been out of town). On my last day of my practicum, I was rear ended at a stoplight and the driver left the scene. I was being taken advantage of at work, because I never say "no".The icing on the cake was my boyfriend of five years "breaking up" with me at my Christmas Party that happened on 12/29. I say "breaking up" with me because it seemed pretty clear to me, but he supposedly was not on the same page and asked to spend New Years Eve with me.
