Chronic illnesses can be so unpredictable and mine is already making me struggle to the point where I’m scared of my future and how I’m actually gonna live a good life and accomplish my goals.
And I have a relatively mild chronic illness so it’s not even like I’m the worst I could be. How do you guys deal with this? Any good / hopeful stories?
Ps. I know that I should look for a therapist lol and I will
I‘m still in undergrad but I definitely wanna get my masters and then hopefully work in a museum so I’d love to see what positions people are working in!
I’m only in my early 20s but I just feel like such a burden on my family and like I just can’t get things right.
I’m currently trying to get my degree but because of my chronic illness and bad mental health it will take me 4-5 years to finish a 3 year degree and it’s just making me feel like such a failure and like I’m a burden on my family. They are nice enough to support me financially but it just feels like I’m wasting their money.
I’ve been thinking about grad school since my field is just so competitive but I honestly don’t know how i would even do that with how much I’m already struggling.
I’m just so scared that I’ll live like this forever and always have to depend on others.
Does anyone else feel the same??
