I'm not particularly happy with my life at the moment, haven't really been since I left school actually.

Things were all going along fine when I was 6th form, got along well with everybody in my classes and the courses weren't too stressful and I had more free-time on my hands just have a laugh, then about a month before my last exams my mum went and had a horrific accident and that's pretty much changed everything since.I had to obviously take time off school as my mum was in hospital and there were times I wasn't sure she was even go to live.By the time I got back to school there was one last piece of coursework that had to be completed in a few days and I was only half way through it and exams to revise for on top of it, managed to get decent grades in the end though.

Once I left school, I became my mum's carer as she had trouble doing a whole load of things after the accident, it's been over a year and half since the accident and she still cannot go out alone and probably never will be but there's not a great deal else I can do for her now, so it's time I started moving on with my life.

I've lost touch with most of my friends now, still see a couple of them but most are busy enough doing their own thing.

I've been learning to drive in the meantime as I didn't want to have to rely on buses when working and after a long days work, you don't really want to be going out on driving lessons.I failed my test yesterday, which I'm pretty gutted about.I'm pretty low on confidence now and just don't know what career path to take now.
