Nothing sucks like feeling lost and especially when you are with people. You feel helpless and hopeless. You don't know where to go or who to talk to, yet people are all around you.
They look at you, talk to you, and even smile, but no one seems to know what's going on with you. They don't seem to see the pain in your eyes and the distress written on your face. Your life feels like nothing but a black hole. You barely have enough energy to take the next step.
We've been there too. It's a bad place to be in. Being lost can be frustrating and terrifying. And feeling lost in life is badly so because you weren't born with a map to check where your next step should be.
When you feel lost, begin by acknowledging that you don't know what you are doing. Avoid posting it on social media or telling anyone who cares to listen. Many times, this never helps but makes things worse.
Remember that not everyone around you wants to see you win. Telling them how bad things are only makes them happy that you are not doing good. It's better to find a person who cares about you or who would understand what you are going through.
It could be a parent, colleague, or stranger. If you know someone who has been through something similar to yours, they're even better to talk to. They have first-hand experience of how it feels and are best suited to help you.
