I feel the same way, I’ve been struggling with this for so long and avoiding thinking about my future. I feel a lot of shame around it sometimes. But with help from my therapist and my family, I’ve realized that I need to give myself more compassion. Life isn’t easy, and it gets even harder when you have a mental health disorder like OCD. You’re not alone and you’re not a failure. You may be struggling and that’s okay, you’re allowed to struggle. You don’t have to be perfect

I'm 36 and I have a secret for you: nobody knows how to adult. I literally wing it every day. Nobody has it sorted out, nobody knows what they're doing. I laugh every time someone gives me responsibility. I still hang out with my friends and get too drunk and do dumb shit. Some days I barely manage to feed myself. It's all good. Whatever you do, it'll be fine. Just keep showing up every day, it's all you need to do ;)

I was in that position and a year later I’m still struggling in that position. No one prepares you to be an adult and it sucks

@?? You’re not stupid . It takes time to learn a job. And no one can motivate you but yourself. You have to find that within you
