Lately I’ve been feeling mentally exhausted and lost. A few things in life didn’t go the way I expected, and ever since then I’ve felt disconnected from everything.

I can’t focus on anything properly anymore, my sleep is messed up, and even simple things feel difficult. Some days I just sit doing nothing and then feel guilty about wasting time. I also have a few health issues going on, which is making everything feel heavier.

I’m tired all the time, both mentally and physically, and honestly I don’t even know how to explain what I’m feeling anymore. I keep overthinking about life, my future, relationships, and whether things will ever get better.

There’s someone I wanted to confess my feelings to as well, but I keep stopping myself because my confidence is at its lowest right now.

I just wanted to ask if anyone in manipal here gone through a phase where they felt completely stuck and emotionally drained? How did you slowly pull yourself out of it?

​

I’m 24 (turning 25 soon) and recently had a setback that pushed my plans forward by about a year. Because of this, my timeline has shifted and I’ll probably be around 27 by the time I’m where I want to be.

What’s really getting to me is seeing my friends already earning and moving ahead while I feel stuck. I know everyone has their own pace, but it’s hard not to compare.

Has anyone else felt like this in their mid-20s? How did you deal with it?
