A huge sense of guilt and dread

Need Support

I (20f) feel a big sense of anxiety that I am not doing enough for my parents and younger brother. My parents are in the mid 50’s and early 60’s and my brother is still in high school. As I said before, I feel like I’m not doing enough because I want to retire my parents as soon as possible so they don’t have to worry about anything financially, work, and don’t have to worry about paying for my younger brother’s college tuition when he goes to college in a few years.

I’m still in undergrad and glad that I was born into this generation however, I just wish that time could pass quickly by so I already have a job and can pay off everything. Like I want everything that a 60 year old woman has but at 20. I also work at my parent’s restaurant 6 days a week. I feel like I can’t get another job on top of me already working at my parents restaurant and going to college full time.
