I'm 18 and life feels so fucking confusing, it's making me lose my mind. I don't know what I want to be, I'm failing college due to my depression and anxiety, I have severe social anxiety to the point where my voice shakes when I talk to people, I can't think straight, I don't have anyone to rely on, I can't get a girl, my life is an absolute dumpster fire right now. How do I cope?

Take some time at night to sit down and think about what kind of person you want to be. Write some shit in a journal. Build a philosophy. Set some rules for yourself to follow.

In my opinion, a job just needs to pay the bills. You just need to be able to not hate your work. Identity isn't built around your job. It seems like it from afar, but it really isn't.

Take one day at a time. Focus on what's right in front of you and doing it well.

you have so much time! please use it to learn about yourself, socialize, take on a good attitude and growth mindset. there will be a time where you'll go downhill and ask yourself "i used to be so great!" it happens to everyone, and you can become great again. we're all learning the lessons of life, so its important to pay attention to yourself. where to start? do you have a hobby or something you feel passionate about? do you live a physically healthy lifestyle?

It will get worse anon. You need to to find your own way, find your own happiness and do not give up.
You need to find your own meaning and order in this world. you need something to strive towards, even if its unreachable.
And i know saying this wont really help, but you need to deal with that anxiety as quickly as possible, it will set you back, so that is the first and foremost step you need to take and to focus this year. I wish i could give you any ideas on that, but i dont have any. And remember if you fail, it doesn't matter, you are going to live to the 100s at this rate. You dont fail unless you quit.

You're 18. These are the first few months of your adult life. It's utterly normal to feel how you do. I've found life gets easier as you get older. Just the passage of time makes you more confident, chill, and accepting.

That said, depression and anxiety stand a good chance of fucking things up, and potentially wasting a lot of time that would be better spent without them. Get some therapy of some sort, whether that's meds or a shrink or whatever. Note that many people don't get on with a particular therapist, and some genuinely seem shit anyway. So if it's not working out, certainly be open to changing to a different one. Give a few a try, and take depression / anxiety seriously. They can have a large effect. It's good that you recognise your problems.
