In a way I just want to say thank you. About a month ago this sub saved my life. I was just hoping anyone still has stories about turning their life around when they ruined their 20s? I need all the motivation

About a month ago I had a plan to end it, I had ruined my life too much. The day I was going to say goodbye I got a call from my mom that made me forget it all.

I’m probably one of the worst developed man on the planet. I’m a 26 yo who’s very obese 5’6 and a virgin even though I wanna date and stuff. None of the apps work, women don’t really look at messages from a guy who genuinely wants to have a conversation if he’s fat (first rule of life).

I graduated from pharmacy school last year, got a non traditional job I couldn’t handle the stress and didn’t have a job. I then went from having a part time job to moving to a new state for a new full time job. The past year has been so stressful. I had such goals for after I graduated now I’m at a job where I took a pay cut to gain experience and the environment is toxic . I’m far from my parents and friends.

I couldn’t take my failures and hadn’t planned to end it but thanks to you all and talking w my mom I didn’t end it.

Now: I’m finally back in the gym lifting, not heavy dieting but practicing portion control. I’m going to therapy, updating my resume and trying to network. I just don’t know if it’s too late for me career wise..

Please any advice for a 26 year old who totally messed up his life. I know I’ll never have a gf or a family but I’m hoping I can still salvage a good career.

Please any good stories I’ m begging you
