You are not alone and this is not unusual. I don't think the Western world has quite figured out how to transition people to a successful adulthood. Or if that is something we are supposed to do cold turkey. It takes a village right?
My mental health deteriorated too. Looking back I should have built a support network and gone to therapy.. a lot of therapy. This all hit me at the end of college and in grad school. So I was broke too.
I didn't really have family to fall back on either, I was lonely and felt alone.
I'm still working on it, despite marriage/kids etc... I actually wish I had capitalized on my alone time in retrospect. Hence therapy!
>Regardless, I don't believe I'll ever feel the way I once did about this world.
Do you want to feel that way? What you have now is perspective and you know more about yourself.

- sjg007 5y agoYes and no. In my comment I said I went to college and grad school. Maybe we need to take classes on the psychology of being an adult or something.
- yardie 5y agoIf you mean giving teenagers loans on terms that fuck them over long into adulthood, yes that is closer to adulting than most would believe.
