Hi,

My life lacking direction. I feel lost. Was never good at school. Just drop out of university last week.

Working on my parents farm in the middle of nowhere. Lost touch with nearly everyone in the small rural community. Don't want to be working on the farm for the my life.

Applied for Tafe, haven't got a offer yet.

Don't know where to start looking for a job. A career that has opportunities for me and will suit my ability and skills.

struggle through school ( learn disability). Had SOS assistant me in practical subjects, because of my struggles through school, it made me feel stupid and have emotional and self esteem issues.( education,career advice).

Still young,but feel so unsuccessful and failure.Don't want to work on a farm for rest of life.

Feel like I can't do anything, study or work.

I hope make sense and is a normal feeling to feel. At bit of low in my life. Would appreciated some support.

have no regular income or employment, or nothing in life to look forward. hardly see my friends,feel like I have no accomplishments,lack of scarification ( work and education).

Feel unsuccessful and like I will be stuck at bottom of ladder regarding my career and income and it making me feel horrible.

So much self doubt, that I won't be able to do what I need to do to FEEL successful and be. Feel like I just give up when things get hard and stress.Drop out of uni,because it became hard, stressful,emotional barriers and other reasons.

would be nice to have people who understand what like to hopefully feel the way I do.

I also feel like I need a boyfriends,someone to love me and make me and someone I can be with and not feel alone

Sometimes I feel alone, stupid, isolated and can't and don't know how to change my life circumstances.no power ( no proper my own regular money, a job or tafe or control). Just feel like everyday the same.

Every day is a new day and you change it for the better. I'm only in high school, but I know what you mean when you say you quit when it gets too hard or stressful, I do the same thing. But the worst thing that can happen is that I fail. Failing isn't bad, we learn from our failures. Good luck and please know I'm here to support you :)

I know the feeling, a few years ago I lost myself to a breakdown, and now my life is going nowhere and I feel so hopeless, but I hold onto to hope. I've been on courses to try and get me back to college and work but I'm just sailing through with no direction. I know I'm still young but I feel like I'm running out of time.

You can always go back to school when it is a good time for you. Make sure your properly withdrawal so there is no problems. You are only 18 it's not like not being in school right now is a big deal. You will not have to work on a farm your whole life. I'm 23 and trying to afford to go back to college. I feel like a total failure and like I am so old. But you are so young and still have so much opportunity! :) A lot of colleges have help for people with learning disabilities. Did your school have anything like that?
