I Need Advice

These past few days I have been feeling so overwhelmed, it seems like all my life is changing so fast and I do not know if I will be able to deal with everything. This is my last semester at the university and it feels like the "real world" is just around the corner, I do not know if what I have done with my life is worth something or if it even will help me to get a job. I am a good student, I have never failed a class, I have done internships and courses but sometimes it just ask myself "am I doing enough?". I do not want to compare myself to others but I just wonder if they ask themselves the exact same question. I guess at some point in life everyone ask themselves this question.

Appart from this issues, I been feeling a little lonely. I have friends and all but is not like I can think of them as "real friends". I mean, if I have a problem I can tell them and everything, we can talk, but it is not like I have a group or a best friend with whom I talk everyday. Some days it feels like I don´t have real friends at all.

I have a nice boyfriend, he loves me and he supports me but lately he has been really busy with work and we haven´t had much time to hang out as before and maybe that too makes me feel a little sad. I know he has things to do and has responsibilities but is impossible not to want to spend a bit more time with him. In between all this, I feel like I overthink things to much. I really would like to stop thinking so much about everything because it is really hurting me. Specially one thought that I will probably adress in some future post related to him and his past.

So far, this is kind of my life right know; a bit messy, all over the place and I think my writting actually shows how I am feeling. Anyway, I just needed to vent. If you have an advice, I would really appreciate it and I would like to read if someone out there has been feeling like this at some point in life.

When Experience Project was still out there I used often to improve my writing while talking about life and my experiences and that website really helped me to get through a really hard time and I am very thankful for that and all the support I got from the people of the community.

I feel like that too. I'm in my last semester of university and it feels like I have one foot in school and one foot in the real world but I'm not really in either one. I just feel like I'm kind of stuck between the two of them and not really sure what's next. It's not a good place to be

@rokrchik1211 Definitely, it is kind of an existential crisis. A voice in your head tells you that you are ready but another tells you that you are not, so you are stuck between those thoughts. When you are a kid and, for example, you are in middle school you just know the future will take you to high school and when you are in high school you just know the future will take you to college and everything but when you reach to the point when it is time to get out of college you see the picture has become blank and the future becomes unknown; everything is not planned out anymore. Guess it is just how it goes, right?

@american22 I guess but it is still scary.
