I feel so lost in life right now.

I’m 22 a college drop out. In the past three years I’ve gone through like a dozen jobs. I’ve gotten in trouble with law on more than one occasion. I’ve been a routine pot smoker since I was sixteen and only in the past month was I able to quit and even so I relapsed last week and stopped again. I’m like ten or twelve credits away from an associates degree. I started college at sixteen and if I had stayed with it I would have had graduated by the time I was twenty. I have no job right now. I’ve haven’t worked in months. I feel so emasculated by the fact that I finally had to go get foodstamps just to survive. I have been trying to get into the military but I have to pay off the courts first. I’m in debt I have no money management skills period. I have no real friends I feel like the black sheep of my family and I feel that they just put up with me out of some sense of family obligation. I feel like I’m just a burden to my family and everyone around me I just want to disappear. I’m so directionless in life. Help.

welcome to being in your 20’s. i think every one in our age group feels the same way every now and again. Take some time to try new things. rember to work hard when you do work,study hard when you learn, and relax because not everything we do is under our controll. Drugs can be a huge detor to your happiness if you see them as an obstical you cannot get over. I suggest finding some one to stick around that does not have the same issue, some one to keep you strong when ever you feel the urge and get a little bored. Find out what you like to do before getting back into collage, if your heart is not in it then you wont do well.
Our genration has lost passion for things find something you are passonate about and fight for it to the end because by the time you die you will at least feel if your life ment something to some one.

dont forget to stick to something once commiting to it. I have found myself in your shoes where i bounced around from job to job..my seuggestion, the next time you feel like walking out on the next job, don’t. as the job gets worse and worse tough it out because you will begin feeling acomplished with your day and your life. build it up slowly one step at a time make a goal and achive it. good luck!

Actually I don’t think that is so weird. I’m assuming you’re talking about the classical piano music and not the punk band. I just did a pandora radio search thingy And I actually kinda like this music,
