As someone in the early 30s that mostly wasted away the last 15 years due to anxiety, internet addiction and procrastion and unability to finish stuff: My only advise to younger ones is to work on your problems early on and focus on a stable income to survive on your own and your education. It's not getting easier and progress on these problems rewards you for years to come. If you are stuck in these loops consider taking a year off to get yourself together. I've always somehow carried on without solving any problems and things only got worse.
- ramphastidae 9y agoI am you. Same age. Same issues. Same timeline. About a year ago I finally broke, lost my job, and have since been focused on taking a break and working on my issues. Thank you for sharing. I sincerely, to the point that I am welling up with tears, hope you can resolve your issues, as I totally understand the feeling. Know that there are others like you and it is possible for things to improve. Just FYI: I am not totally over my problems, but what really helped me was therapy, medication for dermatological issues that were causing me distress and insecurity, socializing with nice friends and family and completely cutting out toxic family, dramatically cutting back on drugs I was using to cope, and creating (and doing my best to stick to) a daily self-care routine, tracked via a to-do app, that includes good sleep, daily showers and grooming, and walks. It hasn’t been perfect but it’s made a big difference and for the first time in about seven years I am feeling OK about life.
