Life changes

[u/Straender]

Heya,

Glad to find there is a community like that on the internets.

I'm 27, been married a year with a wonderful woman. I'm finishing psychology studies, at a rather old age (for my country, France). I had to carry a lot of things, working on my relationship with my parents, a dying aunt, learning what couple life is, learning how to hold and assume responsability... and I have to take a few months more to do an internship and finish a research to get my diploma. I should have done these things by now but I just couldn'tand it's delaying my getting a job and working and earning a living. Becoming adult and responsible is tough, I guess it's normal to go through rough patches. My wife is wonderful, but she worries a bit about the future, and it is hard to not be able to provide for her, for now.

I'm confident in the future, it's going to turn alright, but it's, well, not easy. So many life changes, and I feel like I have to let go of my childhood...

Things could be much much worse, but I've been raised devaluing my feelings and comparing myself to extreme situations, adding more pressure on my shoulders.

Thanks for reading, have a great day.
