Entering the “real world” after graduation for Second Time (First Bachelors degree, Second Masters degree). I am feeling lost, scared, lonely, and confused. In Psychology, it is a normal symptoms which is common in a person’s 20s-30s. This is literally thing called “quarter life crisis”. For everyone out there who are struggling with your quarter-life crisis, you are not alone. I am feeling anxious too, because no one ever told me how to be an adult. There are so many issues that I am dealing with: career, imperfections, social life, spiritual and etc. I am facing the truth that people will come and go. Most of them will go and you’ll live in a smaller circle.
How to deal with quarter life crisis? I am trying to avoid overthinking and stop comparing my life with others. I believe everyone has their own path and it also mine. Envying other people is just ruin my happiness. Lastly, I am looking to psychologist/professional help to provide better suggestion on how to deal with it. If you find yourself can’t stop to overthinking, manic reaction, anxiety, or an inability to sleep. These are a signs that it is time for professional help. You can see a psychologist, psychiatrist, or mental health professional.
