I’ve never been on a website and vented before. Hopefully all goes well. I’m a 22 year old woman whose suffered with anxiety since I was a young child. I was fully diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression at age 19.
I’m a happy girl, but I’m just so sad and lost.
If anyone tells me they know what they are doing my BS detector goes off. So you aren’t alone in not knowing what you are doing. Welcome to the club.
Dont feel said and lost. What is on your mind?
Well - I just appealed my tuition from college because of how terrible my anxiety/depression disorder has been.. I work as a Teacher Assistant and hate the school I work for. My family expects a lot from me. I’m trying to figure it all out but I just cant
Feel free to send me a chat if you want to talk.
and if you could choose anything - what would you be? what would you do?
Own a hair salon
I never did this before either. I have anxiety. I am scared all of the time. Good days, bad days. I hope you feel better.
Just read replies. Why not work on owning your own hair salon?
Because my mother is super successful and would not support it.
I love my mom just tired of her standards. I am very passionate and a hard worker but it’s never enough.
Follow YOUR dreams! You need to be happy doing what makes you happy. .... Sorry idk how this website works yet...
im sure your mum would be happy to see you flourish! 
try to organize your hair saloon in your room or your friends room before you have a real one. take pictures of your work. post them on your facebook page. learn. try. practice. you will see how good you are. it will pump your self esteem very high!
I’m lost too. But i’m trying to find my way back. You’re not alone. 😊
I am here for past 2-3 weeks, and it helped. It's good to vent out here because all people are going through same phase just like you and no one will judge you. Am also 20 and have anxiety issues, and I Know how it feels like to be sad and lost.
Am always here to talk, just be calm and enjoy life🤘
Hope you feel better 😊
this site is super helpful! i root for all of you!
i find this site to be my greatest help in my fight with depression - after horrible struggle that lasted 20 months, it was gone just after few week here. i didnt post as much as i read. i was also getting the feeling that im not alone. helped me tremendously. but i think its important to participate fully, with your open heart and be hopeful!
im sure there will be a day for all of us when we wake up easy and light.

I have same views about this site, so many things to know, so many people to talk to, so many experiences to learn from.
I am also 22 with a family that has way to high of standards for me that I often feel like I can’t meet. My therapist says that I need to let go of my strive for perfection but it’s hard. I just took a year off of college because of my depression and my family didn’t understand nor want to. So I feel like we’re in the same boat. I’ve given up trying to make my mother proud and instead have been trying to make myself proud. This has relieved a lot of stress for me. I’m sure you’ll figure things out! Hang in there!
Thank you so much! Hope I’ll figure it out soon💛
I hope you are having a better day today.
Ugh. I was doing so well. 
Who am I ? 
WHAT AM I😥😩

What am I
