  As a 20yr old, I know what you mean. The age sounds so official and horrifying 😂 like I’m in my 20s now, I’m actually an adult. I don’t feel like it, I don’t act like it, I feel miles behind, and I have no idea what I’m going to do with my life. I think most people feel similar tbh
  
  I cling to the whole thing about how your brain isnt fully developed until at least 25, so… biologically I’m not really truly all grown up yet 😂

  Sooo i just realised i'll be 19 in a couple of months and ngl it feels really scary like being almost 20... Like being an actual adult im so far behind everyone i wish i could just be a kid forever sometimes being an actual proper adult is terrifying, even now everyone i know is just so far ahead of me. No clue what i am gonna do after i turn 20 lol like im rlly scared especially with all my mental issues

  
  @PetiteQuark I understand and felt similar when I turned 20, I was at college still at that age and people were younger but not much changes turning 19 to 20. I know it can be overwhelming turning from technically a teenager which is still an adult to 20 which might feel like a "full adult" kind of thing and I understand it might be scary, I'm sure you'll be fine. 20 is still very very young. Also you aren't even 19 so I think just take things day by day, when I was your age, I was similar , worried about pressure of different ages but I know it can be hard but try to take things day by day even every minute by minute rather than worrying about too far ahead, even though it's completely valid to just worry further down the line, its hard not to but please try not to get yourself under stress over it, you're still you and are still a teenager for a while yet. Remember, we are here if you need anything.
