i (19f) am questioning my entire life right now. over the summer, i got married to my (20m) husband. for context, we met when we were 15 and have been together ever since. anyways, i just feel so alone and do not know what to do or how to even feel about anything. i struggle with depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and have been in therapy since 2020. i just don’t even know how to continue with life right now. i am currently a sophomore in college and have a decent job, so i have a good future set up for myself, but i just don’t even know how to continue. i feel like i am so alone and like i have no one but myself in life, i know i have my husband and that he loves me, but he just simply doesn’t and never will fully understand my problems and the way my brain work. i don’t even know what the point of this is other than the fact that it is giving me a place to vent. anyway, i am just trying my best and taking life one day at a time, but it feels like i am in a constant loop and it will never end.

Youre doing your best and thats more than enough right now its okay to feel lost healing isnt a straight line you are not alone and even in the darkest moments just continuing is something to be proud of
I hear you, it’s heavy and lonely, but you’re stronger than you think. Keep leaning on therapy and the supports you have, and take it one day at a time. You’re not truly alone
Hey, I just want to say you’re not alone in feeling this way. Even if your husband can’t fully understand what’s going on inside your head, it doesn’t mean you’re unsupported or unseen. The fact that you’re in therapy, working, and going to college shows you’re fighting hard even when it feels exhausting. One day at a time really is the right approach,-loops don’t last forever, even if it feels like they will.
when i was going through this myself i honestly asked for my husband to go to a session with me, nit because WE needed it, but i didn’t know how to say my own feelings. my therapist helped me tell him and then come up with a plan to better communicate.
You are very young and your brain is still developing. If you are not in school enroll in some classes. If you like painting, music, dance, ballet, yoga, cooking, take those classes to uplift your spirit. Any topic you are interested in, even if it’s not in your field.
One thing, I want to stress, do not get pregnant until you are ready to commit to taking care of a baby.
