Don't worry. Some people bloom late. I managed to have some sort of awakening in my late 40's and gave a new meaning to my life. I am now 59 and I often felt regret and shame, disliking the old me. Don't! I have never finished college and lied on my resume. I was unemployed for nearly 3 years. Imagine the younger you in your mind's eye and give him a big hug. Everything is the way it is supposed to be, ALWAYS!
Consider trying therapy and perhaps meds. I finally got meds for anxiety as I always had them(anger, anxiety).

Basically it is my lack of achievement in life. I am 35 and for my 35 years have damn all to show for it. In your 20’s you tend to get away with it, in your 30’s you look like a failure and people do look down on you for it.
What do I mean by lack of achievement? Well things like a house, marriage, travel, hell I haven’t even been able to learn to drive. I am stuck in a dead end job on minimum wage going nowhere, I suppose you would call me one of life’s losers.
It’s not that I don’t try I do and have tried, but nothing ever works out no matter how hard I try. Even simple things like a diet or getting fit can’t stick at, instead I’d much rather eat junk food and drink alcohol to numb the pain of a worthless life.
I have had issues with anxiety and depression all my adult life, I am not sure if these are the cause or effect of the above but either way they don’t help my cause.
Any help or advice?
