As a child. I think maybe it’s because I feel like I never really got to be a normal kid because of my mental illness. But I don’t want to be a kid I want to be an adult. But it’s hard because I don’t feel like one.
I want to be more grown up but don’t know how.
I feel emotionally I have definitely matured to adult level but mentally I have not if that makes sense.
i perfectly understand you anna. but i have no answers.
maybe it is just affect from sz.

Yeah it’s tough for sure. I didn’t get confidence till I was on antipsychotics. I did get some faith and some ability to move on past all that stuff. It’s like the Nike ad. Just do it!
I think experience teaches you much and you don’t need to be stuck up on things like we do. Just get to a point and try your luck!
Not sure it makes much sense but I’ve been there for sure!
its ok to be a bit younger mentally, i feel younger than i am too and i am 36, i can be silly and stupid sometimes but its just who you are, i’m not immature but sometimes i just joke around.
Being an adult means to keep adultstuff away from kids.Like literature,movies, Information, certain foods, beverages. It takes awhile to mature and get lifeexperience. We are all in the same boat. Some are rowing, some are kaptain.
When I was 48 a pdoc told me he knew other people like me who were stuck emotionally between 5-15. I’ve always been old for my age in some ways and very young in others.
You’re a adult, Even if you act like a child. Most of the people are stuck there… Normie or not.
And most of the people like child like adults.
Its probably not that bad as you think
Time will take care of that. Enjoy feeling young while you can.
But in my opinion most adults are teenagers trapped in grown up bodies anyway.
I mean, like your going to college and making progress when others aren’t,
May just be a feeling, inside you know like the real regard,
Not a child an adult you know.
Idk like early in my psychosis for like 2months felt younger then I was so I can kind of relate . Symptom
Other than that keep your head up, probably a annoying thing to deal with but you know what you know so.
