Don't know exactly what's happening with you, but it sounds sort of like an anxiety attack... If you're really having trouble breathing, then stop reading this & maybe call 911. It could be a serious medical issue.

Heyy there. I'm sorry you're feeling this away. It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed about the future, you're not alone in this.

Take a deep breath. It's okay not to have everything figured out at this age. Life is a journey, and everyone progress at their own pace. You'll find your pace.

Please try not to be too hard on yourself. You've got the whole community here to support you. You got this!

Agreein' with @HachiBee. Also, @TheNoSparkleStar here's a secret that many people won't tell you:


No one ever figures it all out. Not in this life. 😏

That is one of the things you learn, or should learn (not everyone does) once you've lived a while & dealt with enough different people in different situations. I tell you truly, no one person can ever figure it all out or understand why this world is the way it is. If you ever do feel like you've figured it all out & that you have your s*** together, there will be at least one thing (& probably more than one!) that you did not take into account. Don't let it upset you. We all have our limitations; the key is to figure out what kind of limitations we have & how to either overcome them or operate within them.

One last tip: Don't take life too seriously. Life is too brief & important for that.
