Your mother expressing worry to you almost daily does NOT sound Christian. Consider the source of the pressure that is bringing you to this state, where you post here. There is another motive source in this universe. Think about tapping into that source, following it, and everything will work out.

Remember the story of Samson & Delilah -- he was the toughest dude around, and got harassed constantly by his lover/companion, to the point where he got driven to distraction & cried out, "Alright, alright already!! I'll cut my hair!!"

That's not the way to make decisions. Certainly not life-altering ones. Find the source of peace in your daily walk, and it will eventually penetrate everything, even the big life decisions.
