Does life truly gets better?
I’m not sure if I’m welcomed here but I’m not sure where else to post this and I’m seeking life advice from older gay bros. I (25M) feel like I have reached rock bottom at life. I’m struggling in every aspect: financially, romantically, socially, etc. At least I’m healthy for now. I’m currently in grad school and had been struggling to pay for it. When I tough I had received a scholarship, it got taken away last week because of misunderstanding and no amount of back and forth will it bring it back. Now I have to figure out how to afford living expenses, tuition, while going to class everyday. I fought so hard last semester and I promised myself 2025 will be a better year but it’s starting off so poorly.
In addition I also feel so lonely. While I have the support of my family, they’re far away. I have a roommate but I don’t think he likes me or at least he doesn’t like spending time with me. One of my 2025 resolution was to invest more in my friendships but with my scholarship taken away, I feel myself sinking more and more into anxiety and depression. It’s a struggle to get off bed everyday and I don’t have the emotional bandwidth to even talk to people anymore.
The other day I had this kind of moment where I realized my life is shit. I don’t have it together and the more challenges arises, the more blurred my future looks like. I don’t know what to do or if I’m doing the right thing. To make things worse the current political climate in the US is so bleak. Everybody keeps telling me there’s light at the end of the tunnel but all my wondering is how bad things will get before it gets better? I’m so exhausted.
