A downward spiral of depression and anxiety.

The same as now. A loser.

The point where many of my mental illnesses manifested.

A downward spiral of depression and anxiety.

This but with enough drugs to kill a small village and two jail visits

Sucked.

Not good.

The last years of my life trying to figure out my beliefs and desires.

Around 25-26, I mostly decided on what I want in life.

Still quite good actually. I was bummed about some minor things, but I still had my whole life ahead of me.

Black Stabbath is so such a good alt, also I think the lightning hit the set there near the top.

Also huh Back *edit* is better than I thought it was.

A blurr sadly and I'm not even 40 yet

Work and college/grad school. Didn't have much time to go out except for during holidays/summer break.

think i learned how to save money effectively by age 24 so i can afford some big ticket items i couldn't normally afford.

Excellent timing, I turn 25 later this month.

Ages 18-20 were the worst years of my life, hands down. I was a NEET during those years, my depression/anxiety was at its worst, and my parents had just split up and my dad got with a toxic narcissist. Those years were complete and utter hell.

21-present, depression is still eating away at my life, but I managed to start working, got my own license/car, and moved into my own apartment. I'm also seeing a psychiatrist now. Life is still rough, but I'm hanging in there.

I welcome you 25 year old, Cat lord to Gamefaqs. Things will get better, as you have your own apartment! Stay awhile and listen for more advice.

On the real, I was depressed, but it got better over time. By 25, I was content with my life.

Still need to get a job and learn to drive, though.

18-22 was rough. Very poor, working too much and had cancer. From there onwards, things got better.

I was fuckin a lot and being really irresponsible and not taking things seriously enough

I wish I had been more responsible and taken things more seriously

Eff you I lost my train of thought. I wanted to post something really evil heh

Someone should do a thing on weird Flintstones games on the net, I found that one when my friends and I would drink and get high. Also that second Flintstones games for the NES is extremely rare.

Mostly really horrible. Worked a couple of retail jobs I despised. Slightly later, I was unemployed and had money, and so did various fun things, and enjoyed myself.

The same, still as boring as it always has... Since I've been working the same job since I was 18... The only difference is that I live away from my parents now...

I went to community college, transferred to a commuter school where I did bad, then transferred to an online college because the classes would be easier then in person classes so while I got a bachelors degree I did not have the normal party experience at all. I got an internship at 18 which was year round which became a full time job when I was 21 a year before I graduated. I never got laid and have not to this day. Been living on my own since I was 18, never had a room mate.

Was doing consecutive fives with a two stip with a four running concurrent

Married at 22, divorced at 24. Those were the days.

some was okay some was really, really, really, really, really, really bad

fucking based. just yesterday i made this topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80468594

6 year span

I did 2 years in the Army, a year in the county jail, drug treatment center, lived on the streets, drug treatment again, hitchhiked a few thousand miles, started going to NA and wound up getting married. Poor girl.

I wasnt better, I was just taking a breath.

18-20 sucked. 21-24 were awesome. My best years were 25-27

It was okay... tried to figure out what career I wanted, played lots of video games, started my longest relationship so far (ended at 10 years), got an apartment. No depression or anything like that.

Lol tbh I did have a few downs and every now then, but compared to my late teens, it's a lot better.

Full of melodrama-- lots of highs and lows.

I kept trying to do something I was shit at

18 sucked
19 was best of my teen years
20-24 really sucked. But I studied a lot and the reason I have a good career and a good wife

Pretty cool. I got paid well and lived all over the world as part of my job. Now, once I hit 25 I realized that my job was giving me night terrors and making me grind my teeth so I stopped doing that by my late 20s and went to school.

Pretty awful. I thought things would turn around after high school. I came into some money due to a legal settlement, which I had planned to save and invest. Dad had other ideas and drained my bank account like a ruptured dam. Also was taken advantage of the few times I attempted to invest.

Then once I had no more money for him, dad became more hostile than normal. I had to get a real job(I'd worked unofficial jobs before like mowing people's lawns, and helping out on farms). The management sucked,which I've learned is true at every job, but it was ridiculous at that job.

The only thing that was better back then was that I was ignorant of how big of a failure I was. Still had hope that things would change.

A squandering of potential. No idea what I wanted to go to college for but I was convinced I needed to go to an expensive private school and so basically wasted 2 years there accruing way too much debt as an undeclared major. Transferred and got an ok degree but really should have gotten something more stem related. Got an entry level consulting job making $44k, went through a really rough breakup and spiraled into depression, loneliness, and alcoholism. It was like every step I made could have been a good one but I made the worst one instead. Never really started recovering until I moved to CA at 28.

Pretty uneventful tbh.

18: pretty fucking great. Started dating my now wife, just had a chill part time job and no real responsibilities so had a lot of free time to enjoy life
19: still good but not as good
20: miserable, moved out of my parents' place and got to start experiencing the wonderful world of bills
21-22: more misery, racked up a ton of debt because had no clue how to manage money
23: finally got a budget started and got debt under control and managed to go on a bunch of mini-vacation road trips that year
24: pretty good, bought our first house that year

25-30 were mostly great too
