Feel old and like I've wasted my life

Postby notever86 » Mon Feb 08, 2016 7:16 am

I'm 29 and I haven't really lived since I was 17 and all my anxieties and sadness started. I don't do anything and im not where I wanted to be at this age. I'm sad I have tried everything to fix my problems and hada few psychologists and tried meds but never worked. I'm sad that I let myself feel that I wasn't good.enough and wasted my life. I really want a bf yet I've never had one and I feel like even if I meet a guy it won't be the same.as it would've if I was a teenager. I feel like no matter what I ccant be happy because I feel old and that I have nothing ro look forward to and I don't know what to do.

This probably isn't helpful, but things could've been worse. It takes a lot to actually waste your life. Usually involves heavy long-term substance abuse and/or repeating criminal offences.

You could've done any of those things as a teenager, and your life truly would've been ruined at like 20. Instead you're here, you're safe, you've got possibilities. You actually have the option of doing the things you want, without being stopped by an addiction, the police, jail etc.. that counts for so, so much.

i feel like this a lot. that my life is just passing by and nothing is happening.

i try to do stuff that just act as checklists. like i donated my blood the other day when my mom was admitted to the hospital. i didnt feel euphoria or anything but i think it was good than just sitting around.

i eat a lot now.
