Feel childish but I'm 24. Please read and give advise.?

I dont think your depressed ( well maybe a little) , but I think your main problem is not having any acheiveable goals. It is eating away at your ambition. Set long term, intermediary, and short term goals and attempt to achieve them.

Making the right decisions is on you, because I dont know what is right for you. There is no right decision of what to do out there. Just the basics food, water, and shelter. You have to chose your direction.

It seems that something is missing from your life. How are you spiritually? Do you believe in God? I see this often in young adults who have no spiritual grounding. The ones who get high-paying or active jobs don't spend the time thinking about these things until they slow down. Usually they have all the things they thought they wanted before they realize they still feel empty.

As your careers slows down and your husband takes the active bread-winner role, you can sometimes feel like your ideas and dreams, when you had them, are no longer important. Do not focus on that side of things (if you feel that way)....

Is your husband or are you a member of any local churches? Do you have any couple friends that come over that you can spend some time with? I would be very cautious about your present state. You are in a more dangerous place than you might realize. Something / someone could come along and "make you feel alive" and you could easily make poor decisions that were led by emotions you haven't felt in a while or ever at all.

I believe you and your husband can make the journey together.. It requires that you both take steps to start to do things together. When the time is spent just doing husband-wife stuff... it becomes depressing. Again, that leaves you in a vulnerable spot. Becoming apart of something that has a spiritual side will really help. You don't have to commit or become a religious nut. Just check something new out. Let your consciouss inside guide you. Pray for guidance and it will come.

I'd also recommend joining a gym. It activates chemicals in the brain that fight depression. You will really start to feel good about yourself (even if you are already in great shape). It is really a win-win.

Best to you and your husband... and dog!

Think about why you feel stuck in a state of childhood. Did something happen when you were a teenager to trigger this problem,or is it caused by getting married so young and letting him take care of you like a father figure.He won't stop treating you like a kid until you be more assertive and make decisions for yourself.You should be pissed off,but with yourself as well as him.All these feelings are causing your depression and making you tired all the time. I think you are starting to come out of it. Excellent job.Keep at it.Get a little therapy to help you think things out. It's your life also,not just his. don't be a kid anymore. Don't get into fights about this. Just be assertive but calm. Don't you think you can get a job cashiering again with your skills and experience even if you take a chance of moving up to a job using your psychologist degree? It's not going to be good to have children if you don't feel like you want them yet. You don't need to be treated like a child and be told you are going to get pregnant.You have time-you are only 24. Go with your psychology degree for awhile and make money.That way if you do decide to have kids it will be easier to afford them.Get your resume ready and send it out .You can always get some sample resumes from the internet to review. It will get you moving in a direction that will make you happy and you'll have more motivation for returning to graduate school if you want to.You are still in your early 20's,you're smart.Have some fun ,enjoy your youth and your time of growing up into a person you'll be really proud of.

It sounds like to me that you are encountering some obstacles in your life but instead of seeing them as things to overcome, you might be looking at them as things to avoid.

At 24, your obstacle is deciding if you should go back to school but perhaps not feeling motivated to do so. I think it would help if you found an answer to this question by asking yourself what you hope to accomplish by going through school again. Do you want to make a career out of further education or are you looking for something to do?

I don't think you are depressed but I am not qualified to make that type of decision. I therapist might be able to guide you to some help and a psychologist may be able to evaluate your specific situation better.

I feel this can also apply to your plans for having a child. Again, ask yourself why you are thinking about doing this and how this will affect your plans for the future. At this stage in the game, much of choices you have should be about how you can best plan YOUR future so that you can better manage how the future for any of your children might one day be.

Have you communicated how you feel to your husband. This could be a good time to do that. Good luck.

As you probably know, it all comes from within. The passion, the motivation, the desire, and the inspiration. I think you need to look at what you love doing, what your gifts and hobbies and passions are, and if you are inspired or care enough to pursue it, then do. Because it sounds like you are very self-aware and have a lot of potential. Do you like volunteering? There are some places that could use your help, like a homeless shelter, a church, a daycare, an old folks home, etc. Do you play an instrument? Perhaps you can volunteer to play somewhere, or take lessons, or teach. Do you play sports, read, sing, counsel, etc.? Just look at yourself, look within yourself, study the way you are designed and the way your mind and emotions work. You've got quite a few open doors with that degree in Psychology. You don't necessarily have to be a psychologist, but you may have the gift of counseling or helping people. Numerous companies would be pleased to have an employee with that degree.

You are getting older day by day, and have to start somewhere, sometime. I am so proud of you for realizing that you are stuck and feel like you need direction; that self-awareness is a step in itself, because it expresses an aspect of maturity. The change must come from within you, that motivation, and I do believe wholeheartedly that you have that somewhere inside of you. It just takes a lot of strength and courage to bring it out. Perhaps try getting involved in some clubs or groups or something - even something like yoga classes - where you are around people that have the ability to inspire you. The people you spend time with may have a lot of influence in your decisions. Do your best not to be by yourself or live in solitude; be around people, listen to people, be a friend, and be surrounded by friends. Because the friends that are worth it and have drive and ambition within them can so positively influence your desires and your life, and can be a good support system for you. And doing something as simple as taking the first step to join a group and be around people can help you find out what you want to pursue, what you love doing, and can be a stepping stone to starting your life.

Life is a gift; do not waste it. So many people long to live and long for the opportunity you have. As I said, you have a lot of potential, and you have a lot of privileges. You are blessed with a good home, a degree, a good mother, and a good husband. You are blessed with a good life, but only you have the ultimate choice of making the most of yourself and your life, and there's no better way to do that than to spend it by doing something you love and that makes you happy.

I believe in you, and know you are capable of it. You don't have to be childish if you choose not to be; you can be a mature woman of 24 who wants to be happy with her life if you want to be. You're more than what you think you are -- all you've got to do is show it. Best of luck, hope this helped. =) Never feel down or like you are a loser, because you most certainly are not!

wow, i completely understand how you feel! ive been feeling the same way lately, and i thought there was something wrong with me. i have no motivation to do anything. im in a similar situation to you, other than the fact that i have a daughter. what i think may be going on with us is that we are just the kind of people that try to live life and do as little as possible. which is fine i think. you may find something that will motivate you later on. sometimes i get motivated by something but its only temporary. as for having children, well there is no rush. you and your husband are young and have plenty of years left to have them. generally i think men should wait until they are at least 30 before having children. i see a lot of men who have children earlier and then realize they didnt want all the responsibililty. so there is no rush! and it seems like your husband is belittling you so if you havent already please sit down and talk to him about it. i had to talk to mine many times before anything changed. also if anyone tells you to take antidepressants i would not consider them. i have taken them and they will make your life difficult in the long run. i hope this helps.
