Hi,
I’m reaching out because I’m feeling a bit lost at 25 years old. I still live with my parents, and while I started university again last year to study physics, I’ve only managed to complete 2 out of 5 exams. I worked full-time for six months, but honestly, I used that as an excuse to avoid fully committing to my studies. In February, I quit my job to focus on school, but things haven’t improved much.
I have an exam coming up in just four days, but I started studying too late and ended up giving up on it altogether. Now, I’m feeling pretty down on myself, thinking that I should have at least tried harder. I genuinely love physics, but I'm struggling to stay focused.
On top of that, my social life is pretty minimal—I have a couple of friends who are always busy with work, and I've never had a girlfriend. Back in high school, I had a crush on someone who never reciprocated my feelings, which has added to my feelings of isolation.
I also deal with some health issues that leave me feeling tired all the time, which doesn’t help my motivation. My routine has become gym, studying, and then when anxiety hits hard, I find myself playing video games for comfort like I did when I was younger. It feels like I'm stuck in this cycle.
I really want to break free from this feeling of being trapped and find a way to move forward. If anyone has been through something similar or has advice on how to regain focus and motivation, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Thanks for reading, and sorry if my English isn’t perfect—it's not my first language!
