Im 23(m) Have never had any ambition or passion about anything enough to pursue it as a career. I have a ton of hobbies and interests. I always struggled in school and now regret wasting the last 5 years just working a normal job. I tried meds during the last year and they somewhat helped me but not drastically so i convinced myself I’m better off without them even though I’m not. I struggle with drinking and trying to numb myself everyday, I go through phases of trying to be a better person and then i fall right back into my ways.

I just feel like I am doomed in life no matter what I do. I know I have to stop drinking to have any hope for change and im going to but its hard being 23 and wanting to just have fun and not think about all the bad that looms over me. I hope to find a girl and have kids because I know Id be a great dad but I just feel like ill never be able to budget properly and balance everything.

Any guys in there 30’s here that were in a similar spot at 23 that managed to pull it all together? How did you do it?
