I'm sorry! Take a breather when you feel that way. Anyone in your life who loves you (trust me, there's many 🫶🏼) will help you get there.

I get pretty stressed about the future but my way of coping is just excessive planning, to the point where I’ve literally got a super detailed five-ten year plan, of course I know life doesn’t work that way but it’s comforting knowing I have at least an outline of my goals and where I would like to be in the foreseeable future. I think the only “solution” to combatting this stuff is trusting yourself. I trust myself and my ability to not totally screw up my life, I trust that if and when I am met with tough decisions I will be able to make the right one or at least a safe one. It takes practice but a lot of it is intuition and education, at least for me.

^^^^ trusting yourself also allows you to live in the present, which is super important. I’ve wasted majority of my teens stressing about what I’m gonna do when I turn 18, and now that milestone is only 8 months away. Trusting you will know how to make the right decision when the time comes leaves space for you to enjoy life. Takes practice but it’s worth it :)
