        I cannot stress enough how this is my situation right now. I was good academically, I dabbled with most of things co-curricular wise back in school. We’d have our mum borrow twice as many books on her name so we could read novels. But it’s been 8 years now and I’m lost ...

        I haven’t read in ages. I can’t even fathom finishing a course book. Everything eventually comes down to me making active lifestyle changes and working hard but ambition is a word I stopped using a while back 😔 sigh.

        I agree with you, we sometimes need little wins to help build us up to become, what you are going through is very common, most people go through it in away or another, series growth in the other side, just finish it.

        Many of us have found ourselves in this stage several times. How I didn't sleep into depression in 2017 is still a miracle to me. Go girl, you've made the right decision!

        Oh, I did. 2017 was a tough year but thank goodness for Grace, I survived. I'm still standing.

        I can totally relate to this and I'm also working really hard at picking up the pieces of whatever is left and hopefully, get to find my way back.

        This was me not so long ago, I’m slowly getting back to the girl I used to be. I hope she finishes the book and starts finding herself again.

        This hit me so hard. All my life people have been telling me about the bright future ahead of me, but now that I’m here it’s just burnout, mental health issues, the nagging feeling of still not knowing what I want to be when I grow up.

        I can't remember another HONY post that received so many "this is me" replies. Burn out and difficulty in findng your path is so much more common now, Maybe we've been pushing our kids too hard, setting unrealistic expectations. I hope everyone finds a path that gives them peace.
