I am the same age, I feel the same way, believe me. A lot of people will tell u that u are still young and have all your life, but that age only comes once. The one good thing though I always see coming out of it is that there weren’t that many really dumb mistakes most teenagers make that have not really anything good about them. You always look back at times and think they were a lot easier than now or have a lot of regrets, but our brain fools our memories. Yes, one could’ve made other decisions, yes maybe there were some good times, but the thing is that when comparing the now to the past, you won’t get much out of it. Try understanding it, but don’t regret it too much, it’ll make it worse.
I think you have to get to know yourself, what you like, who you are, what you can do. Which yes, in the state you’re in, is absolutely Horrifying.
My therapist always tells me to get some goals, haha. It motivates you, but most people understand a goal as something really big. Try picturing a goal as something small too, like waking up, taking care of yourself, eating, maybe writing down your feelings, finding something positive about you and continue that, with time make it bigger, finding a job, going back to school, getting yourself into situations that really challenge your anxiety. I’d also recommend therapy and/ or medication. But yes, the costs. If u find the right medication it can help u a lot with mood swings and anxiety and stuff.
Anyways do those small things, especially get into things you like, they might be the things you’re good at and maybe with that you can actually get out into society in the future if not in the present.
I kinda think the nicest parts of your life are the years between ur 20s and 40s anyways.
Is it normal to have a quarter-life crisis?
