Yes, aging parents, constantly moving countries, handling both challenging work & personal life and trying to ‘settle down’ in the midst of it all YET feeling like you’re behind because you are getting old. I have slowly started to accept it now… and I feel like coming to terms with it has given me some peace. I try to align my actions by thinking ‘if I die right now, will Allah be pleased with me’, it’s like my reset button

I like that question you ask yourself OP, and I relate to what you’re saying. It’s not easy, but this is life. iA step by step.

I have felt like I am in crisis both personally and professionally. I am torn between feeling like I am still young with all the time in the world, but worrying I am going in the wrong direction too. I try to still look forward though and not fall into a hole worrying about it all.

Yes I’ve been going through it the past 3 years since graduating college and working now. I’m 25. I handle it by placing my trust in Allah SWT and understanding that I can’t change the past and undo my mistakes, and stressing about the future won’t make it any better either

OP yes and I thought I was the only one. I don't know what it is lately but I feel stressed all the time and my life just feels so chaotic with so many things going on aroudn me. I try to focus on the things that are within my control and let the other things go.

This is the motto I’m keeping with me too. Focus on what I can control and let go. It’s not easy though.

Feels like it’s a shared experience which is comforting. I find it difficult to chat with others about it though because usually people are so fake about things.

How are you guys handling your mental health with job rejections or not getting interviews?

If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
