I'm terrified of the future

[sarahsfeelings]

I can't think about the future without feeling anxious and sick. Just imagining myself in the future makes my heart pound faster. I don't know what's going to happen, sometimes I feel like I'm never gonna find a job and I'm never gonna make my own money and that I'm never gonna be successful. I feel like I'm not gonna make it and it's all because of where I live. Everything is so terrible in my country that even if you study for years in the best major, and work hard you might not be able to live a happy life. I'm studying one of the best majors and I know if I lived in almost any other country I wouldn't have to worry about my future. I'm hopeless most days and I try not to think about the future. I try to picture myself living a great life but in that picture in my mind I'm always living somewhere else. Somewhere that I can wear whatever I want, somewhere that people don't have to worry about their basic needs in life. Maybe one day I can get out. Maybe one day things will be so good and normal that I won't have to get out. Please send some positive energy.

Sending lots of positive energy your way! When I get like this, I try to only focus on today. I hope you find something that brings you comfort.

Yes I know that Iran like a lot of middle east countries are very traditional and patriarchal. I would hate to live there, especially as a woman. I think it's dreadful how we are treated in so many areas of the world.

I hope you make it out one day.

Can't you migrate to some other country or try to find some online job

[sarahsfeelings in reply to Jas_singh]

I personally can't migrate especially in this economical situation and because of the sanctions.
