Topic Tuesday // Significant life changes for young adults // 19 Sep, 7pm AEST

This Topic Tuesday is for those who are going through the cluster of changes that happen from 18-30 years. We will be chatting about topics like:

- Changes in living and financial circumstances

- Changes in friendship groups

- Changes in routine and workload moving to post high school study and/or employment

& the list goes on!

Most of these changes are inevitable, so during this session we will be drawing from the knowledge from our guest from ReachOut.com & ReachOut Parents

So whether you're going through it, about to go through it or have been there, join us to discuss how to manage these life changes.

hi, so do we post what we would like to discuss via these replies? Also, do we have to keep refreshing the browser? I'm new.

It's absolutely my pleasure @outlander

Are you a young person going through some of life's 'transitions' or are you a parent supporting a young person?

Hi @Shakeelah25, nice to "meet" you. Yes, you are correct on both counts: post your questions here and yep, you need to keep refreshing the browser.

Hey @outlander Life transitions are tough at the best of times, and unfortunately you're not the first young person to feel like their family impededs their progress.

What happens for you? Is it something you can be open with them about?

Hey there,

I am 23 and I was hoping to talk about change in developing a libido as a young adult. This is quite awkward to discuss obviously but I swear it started happening when I started living on my own. I never had any interest (to this extent) in having a relationship. But it hard to deal with these physical changes and now I have to deal with this and the depression. The antidepressant I am taking down not interfere with this aspect of my life. So..what do I do? I feel I have developed really late. Apparently, this all happens for most people during puberty years but I defeintely never experienced any of this. 😕

Re: Topic Tuesday // Significant life changes for young adults // 19 Sep, 7pm AEST

Ever since ive meantioned mental health everything has changed. They dont believe in my mental health diagnoses and think im to blame for having them.
Currently im in the process of working out 'who i am' to start with and with this comes the obvious changes of working and studying. They have a problem with my work because my mother doesbt get along with the people there and her bf thinks im neglecting home.
They tell me to get a job and get out of the house yet when i do i get in trouble and get told family responsibilities come first and i should get my priorities straight @Ngaio-ROP this is just part of it

So really the question would be is how do i have freedom when i get in trouble for having it... how can i get around this?
