I should really just get a job and move on with my life, but I’m so depressed and still have anxiety (I’ve had anxiety since middle school). The anxiety went way down when I made friends in college, but after a big friendship breakup jr year my anxiety returned full swing. Ofc these things don’t go away overnight. Ik I need therapy, but I don’t think I can afford it. I’m expected to be a functioning adult bc I’m 24 but instead I feel like an awkward, depressed 14-16 yr old girl
That is hard. College is often a good time to make friends because of the structure, but it’s not as easy as it looks, and sometimes the other stresses of college get in the way. Even as an adult, maybe you could find something that resembles the structure of a hall, club, class, etc - like a hobby or activity club, game nights, a beginner-friendly sport, etc - where you see the same group of people repeatedly and have something to do.
