My Passive Aggresiveness is destroying my life

I've suspected it for months now. Right now I am a working scholar at school. Had things gone under my own effort I wouldn't even be a working scholar right now. My cousins used their influence to get me in. But day by day I feel like I screwed something up. Now I literally DID do something that one of the fathers were nearly contacted. I just want to quit my working scholarship because I feel I'll just make things worse for everybody. Day by day I've been wishing to get a job so I could help with my sister's meds because I can't shake this feeling of helplessness. There's is also this sneaking suspicion that my subconcious is destroying me because I didn't get the scholarship through my own effort. I also forget a lot of stuff these days. I used to remember all my classmates names within days and now their names don't even stick in my mind after months. I can't control my emotions. I can't even finish my research paper because I'm locked up inside and I need to look for other research papers and copy off of them. I know it feels like I'm running away but I just can't stand looking at everybody and pretend that I would be good at this job when I don't feel I can't. It's going to break my cousin's heart but I just don't know what to do.

Follow your heart never do anything that you have only been convinced to do without having your entire heart in it you will never succeed. I believe your family are trying to do the right thing by you and i think they truly believe the have your best interests at heart but only you can be you and only you can decide on your path. I wish you all the best and can only advise you not to burn your bridges maybe it is a good idea to apply over and over for another job before you quit. So you have a path to walk and to show your family that you have your own life to live and this is how you are going to get there.

I only know that there is going to be a lot of angry stuff flying around. I don't feel like I'll be quitting my job. I feel like I'm going to be fired. I should type up my resume. Oh hell this is complicated. I feel like Karma is playing tricks on me. You know, when I applied for jobs 2 out of 3 I was accepted. And there were also a few times when luck was on my side during those times. All of that through my own effort. Now this working scholarship I got was through my uncle and cousin's influence. I try to be good. But...I just can't get that feeling of accomplishment I once had. And bad stuff seems to be happening around me. During these times I think Karma or my subconcious is punishing me because the effort wasn't my own. And I am very very scared because in the end I will be the only one to support myself. Not to mention my siblings. I know my relatives mean well, losing this scholarship will hurt them and me too. But I know that if I don't do this I'll end up blaming them unreasonably and then hate myself even more. I was thinking about going to the Head of Student Affairs earlier to apologize. I was crying silently while checking papers and making sure no one saw me. This is going to be hard. *sigh*

Sounds like you might be suffering from depression too? I see this was 7 months ago. How are you doing now?
