hey, 25f and i just feel so lost. i was doing a bachelor of laws and then i just wasn’t feeling like it was worth it anymore. so i am changing to something else but i just feel so behind in life. like i should have a job or a degree by now.
then i feel disgusting in my body and my mental health just feels like it’s on a decline but it’s not like it normally was for a decline. i’m content but im not. i feel this weight in my heart and mind.

Hi @cocoloco1 ,
Thank you for sharing. It sounds so hard right now.
What would support from the forums community here look like for you?

Hi @cocoloco1
I’m sorry you feel lost. It’s okay to change to something else. It’s better to do something you are passionate about rather than doing something for the sake of it. Due to my mental health, I have had to study parttime and have had to intermit frequently. It’s hard watching everyone else move forward so quickly and I’m still here trying to finish my first degree. I try to remember that there is no set timeline for my life. No one else has or ever will live my life. I can only go at my own speed. Some days it’s easier to remember than others. Do you have any support for your mental health? I found having someone to talk to and validate how I’m feeling to be beneficial. Are you able to discuss this with your friends?
