I’m in my late twenties, unemployed, struggling financially, my mental health is a mess, and I have a horrible habit of self-isolating when life gets too hard or when I feel inadequate. I’ve honestly never felt so ugly or unattractive in my life (shallow, I know), and I’m feeling pretty lost overall. I’m neurodivergent, and life takes so much more energy out of me than it used to. Which is crazy because in my teens and early 20s, there was no stopping me. I was straight-up raw-dogging life, and now I can burn out over the smallest things.

I feel like I’ve been stuck for the past 3–4 years despite trying to move forward, and I never imagined my life would look like this at this age. I’m scared that the future I want (a career I enjoy, financial stability, close friendships, love, marriage and a family) might never happen, and that I’m wasting my time holding onto a future that may not exist. Uncertainty is my biggest enemy; we’ve never gotten along, and it can be so paralysing at times.

I’d really appreciate some honest insight from my chart. Is it going to be like this forever? Are there any upcoming periods that stand out for major changes or turning points? And does anything in my chart resonate with neurodevelopmental conditions, masking, constant burnout, or feeling out of step with others? I have 4 neurodevelopmental conditions.

Does life get better? Is there light at the end of the tunnel for me? Is it always going to be a bunch of trials and tribulations? And does anything in my chart resonate with neurodivergence?
