Terrified

Kaypezzy April 28th, 2021

I'm completely terrified I'm a senior, grad soon and it feels like everyones pushing me to have some career but I literally have no idea what I want to do with my life I'm completely lost my parents dont help either they keep saying I have to do something with my life and life is going to get alot harder, I don't know how to adult like taxes or budgets or driving I feel like everyones around me has something there going on to be & they have a head start and I have nothing, all i do is homework I just feel useless and I often think about "leaving".. tonight I had a complete break down bc I'm terrified for the future I keep asking myself what am I going to do I just have nothing I'm probably not even going to be here when I start having that adult life I just feel completely overwhelmed with anxiety and I feel like a complete failure.

Hey. I was in a similar place last year. I had planned to do something and ditched it at the last minute. I can understand how worrying and confusing this time could be for you. Because I was so lost, I took a gap year and volunteered in different places, to get some idea about what I like and it has helped me. Even though there is a lot of pressure on you at the moment, it will be alright. Is there anything that you want to do? And yes, adulting feels like an overwhelming process, but it doesn't have to happen overnight. Taxes, budgeting, driving, you can your time and get better at it. You can always reach out for help and guidance from teachers, peers, seniors, counsellors. You are not alone and if you think that most of your peers have figured their lives out, they haven't and that's alright. And you are not a failure, it's okay to be confused, and the fact that you do your homework means that you have a good work ethic. As a college student, I can tell you that it will help you! I could find one good quality about you just from a small paragraph, which could mean that there is a lot of potential in you. Don't lose hope and take care. Feel free to reach for help on this platform or offline. ❤
