Struggling to keep up with life
Despite being very smart and talented as a kid, nowadays I'm struggling to keep up with everything. I was diagnosed with anxiety, adhd, aspergers, depression. While I was trying to overcome mental issues, and come off as a normal person (which is very hard for me), my peers made progress in many areas. My non existent mental health costed me years, even a decade. Even if I feel better than past years mentally, I'm still struggling. My biggest regret is lost years that I couldn't achieve anything. It was not really my fault though. I'm almost 28. Everyday I feel anxious and depressed when it comes to my mind. Because I don't feel like 28 and I feel behind in life, looking at what people my age have done so far. I'm trying to push my luck, but thinking about this kind of stuff makes me demotivated.
