I'm stuck with my life and I don't know what to do next?

Question

I'm 19 graduating class of 2014 and I'm stuck, it's embarrassing but I just don't know what to do now. I can't afford college not even community college and apparently my parents make too much for me to even get loans. So college is out for now, especially since my brother is already in college and my parents are helping him pay off a 10,000 payment. I applied to do many jobs yet I didn't get any, so I feel stuck. I also have very bad anxiety, or at least I think it's anxiety. I constantly think someone is trying to hurt me. Whenever I'm in public I shake sometimes or I'll start sweating and panicking and I hate it. I tried talking to my parents and they told me to stop being lazy but I'm not. I just don't know what to do and my parents won't help me. I feel stupid to be honest because there are 16 year Olds out there doing better than me. Even 15 year Olds probably and here I am struggling. Any advice? Thank you in advance, sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining I'm not trying to. I just need some advice.

Answer 1

I suggest going to a professional for the anxiety, as for the rest, if you are unable to go to college and nobody is hiring, then try to do something productive, anything! Learning a new language, instrument, getting involved in politics, literally anything to keep you away from dying of boredom or (assuming you live with your parents) being kicked out of the house. Keep looking for jobs, you'll find one eventually and if you don't, you're at least better at x then you were when you graduated.



Seems like nothing is out of the ordinary for you, you're just stuck in a shitty situation, I'm in the same one right now. It's just a part of leaving school behind you and getting ready for some real world education.

Answer 2

How about financial aid and bogg waiver. It can pay for your classes at least. Ask your parent what's up ? Can they help at least for community college? At least so you can get he two year general Ed. Under you belt. Also if while your parents can help with community college or the financial aid can help out try looking for a part time job like at a Pizza Hut or wal Mart. These kind of stores work around your schedule because you are a student. You need guidance as most people your age. I know I sure did. Don't trip too much. Don't compare yourself to anyone. You awesome in your own swag. Life will unfold. You just handle things a bit different. At least you care about your future. Tell you mom and pops you need guidance about school and let them know you want to continue your education. Look into financial aid.

Answer 3

You sound like you have anxiety disorder. Don't worry more people than you think have it. My older brother (he's 23) hase very bad anxiety disorder and has not been able to attend college or go to work. I would suggest making an appointment with a therapist or at least a doctor. There is medication for anxiety, but its better to see a therapist, that way you can develop techniches to stop anxiety without meds. That's has let my brother be able to work at nusing homes, and he's planning to go back to school in a year or two.

Answer 4

Don't compare yourself to others. We are all different. We all have different backstories, genes, strengths and weaknesses.



If your parents won't help, speak to your g.p. Ask about what free help is available.



And don't give up on the job front. These days it takes a LOT of application to get a job. Work will eventually give you useful experience in socializing and teamwork.
