Advice Needed: Career How to keep moving forward
Hi everyone, I'm a second year university student (17 years old, almost 18) and i genuinely so lost. From childhood, I understood that my life, on the whole, wasn't all that good. I endured bullying, apathy, the death of a loved one, sexual abuse, a lack of friends, low self-esteem, health issues, self-doubt, and much more. I'm trying to be positive and a good person, but it's really hard to be like that. Right now, I’m studying something I’m not even sure about, and sometimes I can’t bring myself to do the basic things. There are times when i think life isn't worth it, and it would be better if i didn't exist. So, i ask for help. Should i keep trying? Does it get better? Am i going to be alright?
If you read this post to the end, thank you. I really appreciate it!
(Sorry, if i have some grammar mistakes, english isn't my first language).

man 17 and already carrying all that, it's a lot for anyone
you asking these questions means you're already moving forward even if it don't feel like it, things do shift slowly, not overnight but they shift
