Hey dude or dudette xD I've just turned 21 in october this year, and i spent about 2 weeks feelings depressed because i was "feeling old" and was already feeling the quarter life crisis begin. But then i had and epiphany, that my life as an adult has just started, and i have plenty of time to figure out how this "how to be an adult" thing works for me, and that i shouldn't be freaking out over it even though it may sound like a lot of pressure sometimes. I suggest you to just take baby steps, find something that you would like to do for the rest of your life, and that something makes you feel good! Take that and gradually work on it, it can be a college course or a job, make that thing your first task as an adult(don't give yourself too many tasks to work with if you can't handle all of them). By taking baby steps,you'll accomplish those tasks without giving yourself too much stress and panic attacks, and you'll be already being an adult(a lot of people can fill your mind by saying that being an adult is being able to pay your bills,having a house of your own,buying a car with my own money, some of it yes.. But it doesn't have to be now! Christ on a stick,you're just 21! and you shouldn't be worrying like that at all! Really, just relax! You're not the only one going through the same "20's freak out crisis" :)
Is it normal if I feel to feel depressed to be 21 already?
