22M here, I’m a student. I wouldn’t say that I’m the most optimistic person ever, but usually when problems occur, I keep it cool and never care that much. Until few days ago. I study a more creative degree - video game dev (Oh how fun!) But honestly while I was working on one of my projects, my mind just flipped, and from then on, I started to lose it. I have trouble of sleep, going to bed at 9am and waking up at 5pm, I just pull through, but then once it’s around 10 or 11, specifically yesterday, I just had a breakdown, I broke down in tears, just felt really scared of everything that just awaits me in the future. Usually in situations like these I usually tell to myself, “Just hang in there. You’re a guy.” But now I just can’t do it. I genuinely thought about doing “that” on many occasions, but I know that’s not an answer, I still want to live. I just feel like a total mess, I can’t relax, can’t do anything, and I just want to know, how do I hang in there? I’m just lost. submitted by /u/TheToolBoxx

    I’m 26 years older. I’m honestly perplexed how the young adults today are surving, shits just so much more expensive and pay hasn’t been raised in decades. If I wasn’t married I more than likely would be homeless. We get by and I’m fine with that. I’m terrified for my 12 year old daughter though. Especially with the rise of AI and mysoginists

    Just remember. As long as you try, you will get through the majority of things life throws at you and most will become a distant memory and some you will be able to laugh at. Having a good sense of humor helps. Find humor in everything

    Finding someone who loves you for who you are definitely helps, if that’s what your searching for. I’d be lost without any wife. And I truly believe there is someone out there for everyone.

    You are still young.
