Feeling lost in my 20s/Living with parents again
I (22F) have been in university for social work and finished my first year. I completed all my classes, but I am living with my parents again for the summer in a desolated community. There’s no space here for me and I have been sleeping on a mattress on the floor in my sister’s room. I thought I had it figured out, with summer classes but my financial aid for classes and living allowance was cut for summer until I go back in fall 2026. I had no option but to live here. I miss having my freedom living on campus and my own dorm. I never had privacy my whole life, so it’s honestly an emotional turmoil to return to the place I worked so hard to get out of. I have a job at a school but it’s honestly hellish, and it’s only a contract until June 30th, 2026. I have no vehicle, so it’s hard finding a job outside the community with no transportation.
It’s honestly taking a toll on my mental health because I should be doing more, but have no option. I feel like a failure right now and I can’t get a vehicle without a guaranteed job for the summer to pay the car notes. Any other people relate to my situation? It’s hard being an adult when your plans don’t work out.
