Turning 18 can be such a pivotal moment, but I get why it doesn’t automatically bring happiness. College stress is intense and can amplify everything. Don't forget that it's okay to feel what you're feeling; emotions are complex. Have you thought about seeking some support services? They often offer counseling or stress management workshops that might help navigate this tough time.
I completely get where you're coming from. When I turned 18, I also felt this intense pressure to have everything figured out. It seemed like everyone expected me to suddenly know exactly what I wanted to do with my life. Maybe it's something about that age, a kind of expectation overload. It's rough, but it helped me to talk to someone who understood.
Man, hitting 18 m and feeling low is totally a bummer. I remember when I turned 18, thought it was gonna be this big deal but ended up just sitting alone in my room with some pizza and pointless homework. College really piles on the stress too, it's like they don't even care about our sanity sometimes! It's not just you though, lots of folks have those days where everything feels off balance. Keep chugging along! Sometimes getting stuff out by talking or typing helps more than you think.
