I'm feeling so stucked in life, what should I do?

I'm feeling so stucked in life, what should I do?

I recently decided to re-enroll back to college, it was a last minute decision too because the course consultant was prodding me to make a final decision (I'm a very indecisive person and I usually need a few months to make a decision but he wants a final answer from me within a few weeks) so yeah I didn't really have enough time to think about it and decided to just enrol into it since I'm planning to get my degree someday anyway. The course is about to start this month, and I have been accepted into the school and have paid the school fees, if I were to withdraw now I can only get back 30% refund. I've always wanted to get my degree someday, but studies just isn't my main priority at the moment.

I believe that I'm in the right major in college, but I dont feel now is the right time for me to enrol into college.

My main priority at the moment is to move out of this house. My dad has anger issues and he had been violent to my mom and also his own mom before,
I don't get along very well with him, and although he haven't been violent to me yet, I'm afraid one day he will end up being violent toward me. I don't feel safe in this house and I want to leave this house badly.

But now college is interfering in my plans.
If I had known my family situation would be that bad I wouldn't have sign up for college.

I want to get a full time job and move out of this house, but now I'm stucked with college. What should I do? I'm feeling so depressed and stucked in life.

Hi @MintyX. At the beginning of this year I enrolled in a single subject via distance education - with the aim of taking it slow and working my way through a degree. However, my MI took a bad turn shortly before the course started.
I spoke to a counselor at the University who understood what I was going through (there was no way I could read the subject book let alone complete the subject). He advised me that I can get a postponement on starting the course. To do so, I would need a letter from my mental health practitioner & also a copy of my workcover approval letter - showing my MI. I have to wait til end of this month to apply but it should all be okay. I still want to do this subject. I just wasn't able to at the beginning of the year. & I won't be out of pocket either.
Please contact your college and speak to the student counselor. Good luck.
