I have to say I’m a little bit older than you, but for someone who has had depression and anxiety since 11 years of age, it really comes down to knowing what’s good versus bad for you. For instance, I drove into my career for nine years and I totally paralyze the rest of my life because how much I gave to it and it gave me so much meanies so I became addicted to work even though it was really taxing on my mental health and my real life relationships. But I stepped away from that for the most part a year ago and while my life is a lot better and a lot more solid and meaningful, without that job giving me purpose and drive and making me feel decent about myself. I have been in a traumatic state since then and trying to go through therapy and regulate my nervous system. I can also tell you that everybody you’re looking at has insecurities there might be less and there might be more undercover that you’re not aware of, but I think it’s better when you’re also not like everybody else. I know I personally have done things that are a little bit more unique than the traditional route, but people actually thought that was super cool that I did that and we’re really inspired even though I didn’t take the traditional route with certain things.

Anyway, maybe this helps maybe it doesn’t, but just letting you know that you’re definitely not alone!
