Why me🥺🤬😔😫

Question

I am so tired of everything and I’m driving myself insane! I stress about everything because what is there not to stress about at this point in my life?! I’m young, supposed to be enjoying the “easy years” while I still have them. I’m right where I wished to be two years ago, yet this I the lowest point in my life... every time I seem to get a brief period of a stress free and happy day shit just comes crumbling down on me. I’m frustrated, angry, sad, anxious, depressed I’m everything but happy! I’ve been working so hard to turn my headspace around and nothing ever works. I’m so fucking tired of the relationship problems. I’m tired of my shitty job. I’m tired of classes and so much fucking work that never ends. I’m tired of feeling sad and angry at the whole world. I’m tired of feeling like I’m trying my best only to realize it was all shit. I’m tired of being overweight, and my hair always being a mess, having so much acne, and never feeling like I’m good enough to be happy. I don’t know what to do to fix any of this and at this point I’m to burnt out to even care.

PS: I forgot to add that when I read where you said that you're now where you wanted to be two years ago, I really relate to that. That tells me you have obviously stayed focused and committed and that's very admirable!

Answer

I'm not going to tell you the cliché "it gets easier," but I have come to a point in my life where I feel legitimately happy because I made choices along the way to make life simpler and more meaningful. Easier said than done, I know, but eight years ago I had similar feelings like the ones you have now. I'm 32 years old now and it honestly took several years to figure it all out. As the years went by, I realized that there are actually only a few things that are very important in my life and the things that seemed to be very important before we're actually things I needed to either  eliminate or not prioritize. I was working a job and trying to finish my degree. School and work were 1.5 hours away from one another and the commute about killed me. I was also  having family problems and my boyfriend (now husband) was trying to get into med  school and that process put a serious strain on our relationship. It was very tough. I'm sorry you feel overwhelmed and I hope you can find some peace and clarity!
