i'm a man but i know fear, it rules supreme over me. i don't want this life, but i'm afraid to give it up..i'm to deep in it to quit now, but i want out..i want out so bad, i feel like i messed it up so bad that it can't be repaired. i'm 20!! and i have no experience in any aspects of the word, i missed that bus called childhood when i was young and i'm still tryna catch it but now i'm missing this but called adulthood. i'm afraid i'm just too late, and i dnt know how to deal with that....i'm a boy, who just reached his peak and i dnt know where to go from here.

I admire your self-awareness. You are not missing adulthood since you've onlly been an adult for a couple of years. I'm 62 and I'm still working at being an adult. Like they say, it's never too late to have a happy childhood. You have so much time. Find a therapist or counselor to help you work through your childhood issues. You are not alone.

Hi a14, sorry to hear you're feeling so down.
I dont know what are your problems , but I can understand what you mean by saying you missed the bus called childhood.
I also had a troubled childhood, and know it scars us for the rest of our lives.
Sometimes humanity does fail us, and God is the only answer. I dont know if you are religious,but believe me, prayers help us immensely. Pray for your troubles to diminish,and I am sure you will find an easier path.
You are very young, I hope you can reach out to people, maybe in church, clubs, or if you're into sports.
Dont stay isolated. Sending you soft hugs.

I like what the others said. I will say that my own daughter is 20 and she was raised by her dad; he was emotionally abuse to her. She had a lot of emotional problems and even would get migraines and fainting spells from PTSD.

Don't give up. Network work wise and also socially. Take a junionr college course.

If my daughter can do it, believe me, anyone can.

Don't give up. Hugs,

Catherine
