I don't think I can keep up

My life is going no where. I feel like such a burden to everyone. I hate myself for the way I am. I have a family that takes care of all my needs and yet I'm still not happy. I hate that I depend so much on them to just stay alive. Everyday is a struggle. I feel like I'm a bad person. I just wish I wasn't so pathetic and useless. I wish I could be independent and have my own house and car like a proper adult. Find love and connect with other people my age. I hate myself so much. I'm a disappointment. I'm a failure. I'm going to hell.

Okay 1st you're not supposed to have anything figured out or be anywhere in your age bracket, everyone depends on their family and tbh in this economy it doesn't stop.

I moved back with family twice in my 20s, and at one point my mental health was so bad that I couldn't leave the house or get in a car. I didn't know what I wanted to do or even believed in myself until I was 26-27. I got my first car through family, didn't get my license until late 20s, and most people struggle to rent on their own because of inflation.

Don't put yourself down before you've even started, you've literally got so much time to achieve all of that.

Make an action plan and it will give you agency in your life, really helped me. Do what you can to be who you'd like to be in small steps every day. https://similarworlds.com/life/5394443-This-is-for-whoever-needs-this-if-youre-feeling-stuck-or
