Add on the fact that parents are getting old, more friends moving away, and me realizing I don’t want to do my current job forever makes me on the brink of tears sometimes tbh
Yeah its definitely heartbreaking OP. And to think I wanted to grow up already when I was a kid 🤦🏻♂️
Try and think of some of the benefits you might get from this point in your life. Personally, I didn’t have a lot of money growing up so making what my parents made in one year and being able to travel makes these pretty darn good years too!
Same. I could never go back to be a kid, or in college for this exact reason
It gets better you will hit a stride, then you'll hit your mid 40's and feel a whole new level of unfulfilled feelings lol.

Your mid-20s are a rough time. Hang in there. I’m in my 30s and have settled into a grove and am much more confident and content with life.

Also there’s a shift that happens in your career when you start nearing your thirties. You stop being the person who needs to learn things and start becoming the person who knows things. You can speak to your experience and skills with authority because you just know that they’re there.
Use this time to build your confidence in yourself, in your career and in your life. Chase the things that make you feel good.
Those were better days indeed…

Hey OP, same here. It’s overwhelming af
On the flip side, you get more money as you get older, which means spending it how you want. It’s fun 🤩

Honestly, I miss rehab for a lot of the same reasons
Feel this hard OP some weeks I feel great about where I’m at and some weeks especially weeks or days where I’m less busy in my social life all I do is yearn for the days that I was in college and seemingly always happy. It’s a part of growing up I guess and as they say it really does get better. I think it’s all about finding your stride in life which is admittedly very difficult

Your 20's are hard. Don't make them harder by putting too much pressure on yourself about the weight of what it means to be an adult. Yes, there will be changes and other things you can control, but what you can control is how you adapt, so focus on that and doing little things that will make you happy. I promise you will figure out adulthood over time. Be patient with yourself.
Also, after three years out of college, I quite enjoyed law school. It was like returning to college for a few years, but with slightly more responsibility (but not that much, honestly). By the time I was done, I was actually ready to be more of an adult.
