I'm sitting at work trying not to cry...

I don't know what it is, I've been stressed at work, stressed at home, dealing with shit from everyone, I'm going to have to get a second full time job to be able to afford to move out... Realizing how few friends you actually have after high school... I pretty much feel like I'm at my breaking point. Like I want to turn in my 2 weeks at work, train someone new and go drive off a bridge.
Is it normal to feel this way after you 'grow up?'
I feel so overwhelmed just by family matters alone to even want to wake up in the morning... Some days I don't even go home...

    That's why it's best not to "grow up" but grow as a person. People always correlate growing up with losing youthful vigor.

    That is not right. People always think they have to make choices. No, that is always the case. There is always a way to win. You just have to find it and work extra hard to succeed. And if you can't find the way, MAKE ONE.

    Growing up isn't easy, and the transition into adulthood is rough. Today, the demands of being an adult are greater and more stressful than ever.

    Hang in there. If you have hit rock bottom, life can only get better... and it will. Find someone to talk to. If you don't have anyone to talk to, talk with me. I am a good listener.

    Best Wishes!!!

    Yes it is absolutely normal! Life is overwhelming and sometimes really sucks. But at the end of the day it can also be beautiful, unpredictable, and absolutely amazing. Hang in the there. Bad moments come and go, you are not alone!

    This is what the little voice in the back of everyones head is telling them. People dont realise that so many people feel this way and even if they did they wont try to change the world to make everyone happy. Aslong as the powerful rich people remain powerful and rich then everyone else has to work having these thoughts.

    It will defiantly get better so long as you try to make the best of the situation you are given.

    You are perfectly normal. I feel exactly the same way. I just keep telling myself that things will get better and that if we can't be happy all the time then it follows that we can't be miserable all the time. You will be fine.

    yes this is normal. It's part of what the guy said above me.

    You notice how adults get more quiet and humble and stuff? It's because we suffer through hardships.

    Wait until you see your first health issue.. you've seen nothing yet. Eventually the day comes where you realize you aren't going to live for ever. You'll be into adulthood when that happens and then realize that younger people live in bubbles.

    I went through this at around 30 years old.

    I know how you feel. I'm the same way, stressed about my job, trying to get a better one, worrying about how long it will take to save up enough to move out, finding out who my real friends are. Growing up has its obstacles. But just keep trying and focus on the positives in life.

    Maybe your family could be more supportive. Tell your friends how your feeling. If there true friends they will care and want to help.
