Is my life doomed?
Hey everyone, I’m 21f, and I just graduated with my associate’s degree this past December, but I’m feeling completely lost and stuck. I’ve been working hard to build a better life for myself, but right now it feels like everything is falling apart. I have $10,000 in student loan debt and another $10,000 in auto loan debt on a 2013 corolla and my car got repossessed today. It feels like no matter how hard I try, something keeps knocking me back. I’ve been struggling with anxiety, depression, and dealing with toxic family dynamics that have made it hard to find emotional support. Growing up, I dealt with a lot of instability, and now, even as an adult, I feel like I’m still carrying the weight of that. I’ve distanced myself from my family due to the emotional toll, but I still feel isolated and unsupported. I’m also having trouble finding a job, which only adds to the stress. I do plan to continue my education, but I’m struggling with the thought of going to a four-year school, as I feel too old for the college crowd and disconnected from that environment. I’m trying to get my life together, but I’m struggling to figure out how to move forward when it feels like I can’t catch a break. I feel behind in life, like I’m just treading water, and I’m honestly wondering how to stay motivated when it feels like everything is working against me. If anyone has been through something similar or has advice on how to navigate financial struggles, toxic family dynamics, or just how to keep going when it feels like life is stacked against you, I’d really appreciate it.
