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.
