Hi I’m 22F, about to graduate college, not sure if you have to be a woman over 30 to post here but let me know if I’m breaking the rules.
So I’m kinda freaking out in every aspect of my life, school, career, relationship, friendship, mentally, etc. If anyone has any advice for me on how to figure anything out and not constantly be on the verge of a panic attack, I am all ears.
I don’t know what I want to do with my life, I’m entering the job market at a terrible time, I have to live at home for probably 2-3 years and while I love my family, we all kinda revert back to our dynamic from when I was in high school and it’s miserable. I’m afraid I won’t see my friends very often, I’m in my first ever long term relationship, and I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety for most of my life. This is not to throw a pity party for myself, I am so blessed in so many ways, my health, my parents are awesome, I’m so lucky to have gotten an education. However, I feel like I’m going fucking crazy. So if anyone wants to reassure me that I will survive, I’d really appreciate it.

I think 20s are the era where meant to feel like you’re going crazy because SO much to sort out and figure out. From your career, to where you’ll be geographically, relationships (both romantically and friends). and then 30s hit and maybe some figuring out to do still, but it gets better …it gets calmer. Point is/my advice is, embrace the crazy. That’s part of the 20s journey.
