Do you also feel like your life is over at 22? Do you find yourself struggling with mental health issues, career confusion, and self-doubt? If so, know that you are not alone. Many individuals in their early twenties experience similar challenges and uncertainties about their future. It’s important to address these struggles and find practical solutions to overcome them.
Dealing with Mental Health Challenges
Living with anxiety, ADHD, and OCD can be overwhelming, but it’s crucial to prioritize your mental well-being. Consider seeking professional help from therapists or counselors who can provide therapy and support. Don’t be afraid to explore medication options, as they can significantly improve your quality of life. Additionally, practicing self-care activities like going to the gym regularly can help alleviate stress and anxiety levels.
Pursuing Your Passion for Personal Training
If personal training is your passion, don’t let self-doubt hold you back. Completing the personal training course is a great step towards your goal. Focus on building your confidence and skills in this area. Seek guidance from experienced personal trainers or mentors who can provide valuable advice and encouragement. Remember that it’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them as you progress in your journey.
Overcoming Financial Challenges
Money issues can add unnecessary stress to your life, especially when working low-paying retail jobs. Consider exploring alternative ways to earn money, such as freelance work or online opportunities. Budgeting and financial planning can also help you manage your finances effectively. Remember that financial stability is important for pursuing your passions and achieving your goals.
Exploring Career Options
Feeling lost and confused about your career path is a common experience for many young adults. Take the time to reflect on your interests, values, and skills to identify potential career options that align with your goals. Consider speaking to career counselors or attending career fairs to explore different fields and opportunities. It’s never too late to switch career paths or pursue new passions.
Seeking Support and Guidance
Remember that it’s okay to ask for help and support when you’re struggling. Reach out to friends, family members, or mental health professionals who can provide emotional support and guidance. Joining support groups or online communities can also connect you with others who are facing similar challenges. Don’t hesitate to seek help when you need it.
In conclusion, feeling like your life is over at 22 is a common experience for many young adults. It’s important to address your mental health challenges, pursue your passions, overcome financial obstacles, and explore career options. Remember that you have the strength and resilience to overcome these challenges and create a fulfilling life for yourself. Stay positive, seek support, and believe in your ability to overcome any obstacles that come your way. You are not alone in this journey.
If you have ADHD, then you should learn everything you can about it. Your life can be significantly improved by receiving treatment. One of the most effective treatment options is medication it doesn’t work for everybody and it takes time to find the right dose and medication but when it works it work. When prescribed properly they are the safest medication in psychiatry and can improve your life. At least that is what I have read, I am not a doctor and I am not giving you medical advice.
I would recommend checking out Russell Barkley, Edward Hallowell and How to ADHD, for more information.
Oh my gosh this is like reading a post from me two years ago. I have horrendous ADHD and health-anxiety OCD and it flared up so bad during my junior year of college after returning to school for quarantine. I actually thought that i was going insane and it consumed my every waking hour, it was so bad that i truly can’t describe it to you. At a certain point I had enough and i was really starting to freak myself out so I reached out to the health services at my school and got put in contact with a therapist in training at the clinic at my university. This woman saved. my. life. I did about nine months of therapy with her and while i still struggle it’s like night and day when I compare myself now to myself then. All this to say OP please get it contact with a therapist, I have never take any meds besides supplements. You mention a doctor but not a therapist so if you don’t have one see if your university has one. My clinic was pay your way so if I had to I could pay as little as I wanted.
Secondly, I am now one year post grad and I work a boring office job that I truly have no interest in AT ALL but i’m racking up my money and the truth is that having a boring job let’s you pursue so much other stuff in life. Being uninterested in your work leaves the door open to explore other interests outside of it. Now that I have money I can take classes on things I like or go backpacking and I’ve focused on building my life outside of work. Now of course I want to find something I love to do but it really does help in the mean time to just have easy, reliable money. Also I must say I feel like the stability of a boring job really helps with anxiety at least for me. I’m only a year older than you and I know that you and I have so much ahead of us. Almost everyone feels the way you do now at some point but is just too scared to say it. You already know what needs to be done to make your life one you want to live, you just have to do it!
Having 0 interest and doing the bare minimum in software engineering will cost you down the line. Either switch to something you’re passionate about or focus up
