The older I am getting, the more I am missing my young life. I am only 22. I am just not happy and I feel like I haven't been since I was 16. I have some good days, but at the end of the night I always feel sad and unhappy. And I hate that I feel that way because sooo many people have it worse and would wish to have my life. At the end of the day I should be thankful that I have a very loving family and amazing friends, and most importantly I am healthy. I hate that I am not thankful for all that I have. Recently I have been stressed with school, work, and just the feeling of loneliness, and every night I just have the urge to bawl my eyes out. I feel like I am numb throughout the day and I fake so many emotions. I feel like no one ever knows what I am going through. For years and years I have begged god to try and help me out of this depression, but I feel like it's getting worse. Also just the thought of my childhood makes me cry because I miss that, I miss the life I had, and it sucks because I will never be young again.

Ok so let me tell you it is very much Normal to miss your childhood and feel sad about it .. I am only 20 and I get the same feeling as you do but spending a huge amount of time about something which has gone is totally waste of time and it will not get you anywhere... then when you will reach at your old age you will start regretting that you ruined your twenties getting depressed over something and this cycle will keep on going so rather focusing on what is gone you should cherish what you have right now ... I think gratitude Journaling might help you ... if you like to write in a notebook then do so ... if you find that is not what suits you then download any app where you can daily at the end of the day write down the things you were grateful today it can be anything even a piece of cake you had that day ... or you can also try mental health apps like I recently came across this app called intellect you can try that if it suits you that way the time when you spend getting sad over your childhood would be replaced with you writing down the things you are grateful for or using any mental health app and I am pretty sure it will make some difference... so try doing all these things and stick to whatever suits you ... I hope this will help 💜
