Advice Needed: Mental Health Can I recover from this rock bottom?

Hi everyone. So, I am a 21 y.o law student in third year of my five year course…I’m not doing well currently neither academically and financially nor in relationship wise, to keep it short. I’m at the rock bottom right rn. I could not get a single remote internship for the month of November that could pay me. For context( my mom is on bed rest since I was 15 and now my dad has gone into depression and left the job so it’s pressure on me to earn and to make it off I’m broke and in 100$ debt(8000 inr roughly) On relationship part, my girlfriend left me two days back citing that I’m not the problem but her and blocked me from everywhere, I loved her more than anything. All this is affecting my grade in law school. I also don’t have any friends here.., I had them before but not anymore, things happen.) So in short I’m a total failure with no motivation to carry on with my life anymore. I dont know how to recover from this, I need help.

So age no bar, problem is a problem right? Or is there any solution you have? What thing differently you’d have done to not be in a postiton where you are rn

My job is hard and it kicks my ass and if I take three days off my paycheck goes 2000$+ negative.

I still got my college to finish, can’t drop out and still it does not answer my question that what different thing you’d have done if you were my age?

I'm not the one on Reddit claiming to be unable to go on because I'm at rock bottom, although I likely have no more than you do.

I'd say start with a change of attitude.

I’m sorry if my words hurt you. It was not my intention. I was just frustrated at ever

But I'm not stuck in an office all day 🫠 My dad is a lawyer and I think he could have been a lot nicer if he had found something else to do.

You are at the age where you could basically start fresh and it wouldn't matter. A lot of people your age have significantly less than you do. You could definitely be a lot worse off so be grateful that this is "rock bottom" for you. Your problems have only just begun 😂🤨

Hello OP,

You are indeed in a rough spot in life (doesn't matter you are 21, if so, that's a huge opportunity), although, these type of life challenges, if surpassed will make you absolutely invincible in the future.

You are now being forged, on the tough spot, if you strive and keep fighting, it may come the day when you look back and realize how freaking strong this made you. How it will be possible for you to rebuild as many times as necessary.

Keep strong, I wish you that. Luck sometimes needs to be "forced" a bit.

Regards
