Desire for Change vs Fear of Change

Hi Knoveria! To be honest, I felt very much the same way after I graduated college. Here I was a college graduate with a degree that didn’t really open many doors career wise and I didn’t have any idea what I was actually going to do. Then to make things worse I started to develop Ocd to the point where it made it hard to do even the simplest of things. Eventually, about a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with Ocd and put on medication and then I finally found an Ocd therapist to help me out. And nowadays I can say that things are almost back to normal, almost being the key term here. Now I’m in grad school and I now have a part time job so things are more or less back on track. So hopefully my story can serve as an example of how it’s possible to get out of a rut that may seem impossible to get out of 🙂

Well, regardless of whether or not you decide to face it alone or with others, just know that we are all here for you if you need to talk about Ocd or anything else 🙂

Also, I too experienced lots of existential dread after I graduated college so you are definitely not alone in terms of what you are feeling. Life can seem pretty scary when you don’t have a sense of direction after going your whole life with one that was provided for you. But, I believe that you got this and that you can achieve whatever you end up setting your mind to, you deserve happiness and success just as much as the next person 🏆

Set a small goal that will make you feel less like a "kid at home" and more of a contributor to the home. And act. For example, this month I want to contribute "x" amount to the power bill, and then do that. Always take small actions towards big goals. Before you know it, you'll arrive where you thought was impossible.
