Hello! If it’s any consolation, I’m there too and i’m 24 🥺😔 It is super overwhelming. It’s really important to dissect things individually and take it a day at a time. Know that it does get easier. Things don’t just stop happening, but with time you gain more information and skills to deal with whatever is in front of you. It always helps me to realize that no one really knows what’s going on, even though it totally looks like it. It’s kind of a comforting feeling for me 🥺 It helps to form meaningful relationships as well! I’ve made most of mine from work, because that’s been one of my coping mechanisms- working as much as i can lmao However with that, I’ve met a few friends that I can speak about anything with. Just remember to give yourself time, and always trust yourself. Be sure to put your mental and physical health before anything else. You’ll do amazing :)

Go one day at a time. Try mediation also.

My best advice is to make as many friends as you can who'll care, be encouraging, & supportive of you. It's been tough for me growing up cause I didn't put in the effort to make or keep friends😥 I haven't talked to any friends from high school & I only have a few online friends who I occasionally talk to. Be very careful of who you inv in to be your friend cause they're a lot of fake friends out there who'll use & eventually hurt you 😭 Life can be overwhelming, but we have to learn to overcome obstacles as they're thrown our way. It sucks to be forced to do things we'd rather not be a part of, but that's why we need friends cause they'll make it less painful & help you feel less alone❤️ If you need an extra friend to chat with occasionally, you're welcome to dm me🥺
