Without going into too much detail…
- 21
- Dropped out of Uni (ie. I’ve started falling behind ‘the pack’)
- Still living with my parents (have lived alone for periods)
- Frustrated, have been repeating the same mistakes and life is currently going in a loop.
- Not fully settled on a specific career
- Thinking of a couple of nuclear options I could try to move things on.
I want to know if I have reason to stress or if I should just give it time and enjoy the ride. Seeing as any sort of renewed degree-pursuing will eat up another several years starting anew from square one.
Edit: Thanks for all of this life advice everyone. It is genuinely really reassuring

It gets better bro.
I’m 33 and I was in a worse situation:
- Started getting depressed in 2011 at the age of 20
- Graduated in CS in 2016, super late, but with top grades
- Started working as a software developer, hated it
- For a few years I switched between working in a local computer shop and uni to get a master’s degree
- Again, I graduated super late in 2021 but with top grades
- Still hated working as a developer and now hated working as a technician too
- At the end of 2021, I got a call from my old high school, they needed someone to teach programming
- Decide to give it a try, absolutely love it
- Suddenly, depression is gone and I have a reason to get up in the morning
- A 10 year old nightmare is over, still single though
Be careful. That last one can turn into a nightmare too if it’s the wrong person.
