Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out today because I’m feeling overwhelmed with anxiety as I reflect on the past eight years. I’ve struggled with mental health issues, including a mild depression as diagnosed by my therapist, and more recently, anxiety. While these issues haven’t severely impacted my daily life, I feel that I’ve stagnated and not made the progress I had hoped for.
During these years, I’ve remained in the same low-qualified, low-paying job. I dropped out of university due to feelings of inadequacy and never moved out of my parents’ house, despite my dream of living abroad. Now, I find myself just going through the motions, waiting for the weekend, which often doesn’t bring the joy I expect.
I’m approaching 30 and feel like a failure, a loser, and too old to turn my life around. At the same time, I feel that my problems are trivial and that I shouldn’t be posting here. I’m not sure if this is the right community for this kind of post, so I apologize if it isn’t. I’m just looking for a bit of advice or resources that might help someone in a similar situation.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Life is very hard right now, you absolutely should be posting here because when you speak up about how you are hurting you make the rest of us who may be in similar situations hurting feel less alone even if we can’t give you any advice to magically solve the problem and vice versa.
Then again, advice doesn’t have to be magic or novel to be helpful, sometimes just hearing it repeated over and over again is what counts.
Thank you, hope the weights you carry will go away asap ❤️
Yeah well I really shouldn’t have signed up to be the guy who is paid to move all the weights around in the weight lifting gymn if I didn’t want to carry weights around all the time but here we are. I live life by doing the thing wrong until the thing relents and decides I can do it that way hahahaha.
