I’m in my 20s and, lately, I’ve been feeling down and stressed. I especially worry about my future. Is it normal to feel overwhelmed by financial, educational, and family problems at my age? How can I overcome this? Please help!

Answered by Sunita Mahat, psychologist, Happy Minds

Early adulthood often comes with a lot of uncertainty, imbalances, and unspoken pressures. Opportunities might feel limited, while expectations—especially from parents—can feel overwhelming. Your question resonates deeply with the experiences of so many young adults, and it takes courage to voice these concerns.

Entering adulthood is like crossing a foggy bridge—everyone around you reassures you that there’s solid ground on the other side, but you can only see a few steps ahead. Even with guidance on education and career, it’s normal to feel lost or stuck along the way. The key is to be kind to yourself. Each step forward on this foggy bridge brings you closer to clarity.

You’re only human, so it’s natural to have limitations. Practice self-compassion, recognize what’s within your control, and be patient with yourself. Taking this approach will gradually lift the fog and help you move forward with more confidence.

Feeling stressed about responsibilities—like financial stability, career choices, and education—is completely normal as you transition out of your teenage years. It can be tough to see others around you seemingly thriving in different areas, but remember that everyone’s path is unique. Comparing yourself to others overlooks the uniqueness of your own potential, which is unlike anyone else’s.

Society, family, and even we ourselves often expect that we’re fully ready to handle responsibilities once we’re done with our teenage years. But physical maturity doesn’t mean we suddenly have all the tools to navigate life’s challenges. Sometimes, we feel like we’re moving forward quickly without knowing where we’re going, and that can be frustrating.

It’s understandable to be stressed, if you’re not yet in a position to support yourself or your family financially. Still, remember that investing in your education is a valuable long-term choice, even if the benefits aren’t immediate.

Remember, it’s okay to feel unsure. It’s normal to wonder if you will be able to fulfill your goals, but remember to take a deep breath. You’re only at the beginning of what can be a productive and fulfilling phase of life, so keep moving forward at your own pace.

If the stress ever feels unmanageable, don’t hesitate to reach out to someone you trust or seek support from a professional. You’re not alone in feeling this way, and reaching out for help when you need it can be a strong and empowering choice.

Prime Minister and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has urged industrialists to invest as an investment friendly environment is created within the country.

Addressing the awareness assembly organized by CPN-UML Kathmandu Valley's three district committees today at Durbar Marg, Prime Minister Oli urged the investors to invest with confidence as the government is on a mission to create a 'Prosperous Nepal and Happy Nepali' by maintaining peace and security in Nepal.

"Nepal's economy was in a bad state. The economy is improving due to the policies and plans adopted by the current UML-Congress led government," said Prime Minister Oli.

Prime Minister Oli urged Nepal's industrialists and multinational companies to invest in the country. "You should invest, the government will arrange security and good governance," he said.

On another note, Prime Minister Oli said even though there are many rumors against them there was no logic to follow such baseless rumors.

"There have been things surfaced like deceiving the cooperative and blaming others, using shameful remarks, and swearing. Any kind of fraud is not acceptable. The Nepali people will continue to fulfill the vision of 'Prosperous Nepal and Happy Nepali' by maintaining the history and pride of their culture," Prime Minister Oli said.  He challenged those who point fingers at him to come in face-to- face discussions.  

Mentioning that those who do not have to pay the bank loans will destroy the country's economy, he claimed that the NEA should collect the arrears from the defaulting industries as per the bill but it should not stop power supply to them.

Speaker Devraj Ghimire called on President Ram Chandra Paudel at the Rashtrapati Bhawan, Sheetal Niwas today.

In the meeting, Speaker Ghimire briefed the President about his visit to Cambodia, the Secretariat of the President said.

CPN-UML General Secretary Shanker Pokharel has said the party organized the awareness assembly against conspiracies misleading the country.

Addressing the program organized by the UML Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur district committees today, he made it clear that the awareness rally has been organized to knock out the unnecessary conspiracies.

The UML General Secretary urged one and all to be aware against what he called various conspiracies being hatched when the country's two large parties have joined forces to give a way out to the nation.

Stating that the UML was being attacked just because it is standing in favor of the nation and nationality, he said: "The UML is attacked from all sides. Several conspiracies are being hatched at present to finish off the UML. The time has come for the entire party rank and file to be united to remove all types of disinformation spread against the party."

General Secretary Pokharel maintained that Nepal has been included in the list of countries making economic progress when the UML Chair KP Sharma Oli is the Prime Minister. "The UML is the only party that builds the nation. The party that is capable of carrying out works to that end should be allowed to work. Only then the country will become developed," he added.

Stating that false information is being spread targeting the UML of late, he challenged those spreading such false information to carry out investigation into the topics linked to the UML.

General Secretary Pokharel said attempts are being made to defame PM KP Oli as he firmly stands against anarchy. "The UML remains in the hearts of the people and in the heart of the nation. In Nepal some people are engaged in the dirty game of hatching conspiracy over any topic. We should all be aware of such a tendency," he said, adding that false publicity has been made even when UML leaders have gone to Cambodia to participate in a program.

Stating that the UML was in favor of carrying out investigation into the cooperative fund misappropriation, centering on the case rather than an individual, he said the Rastriya Swatantra Party chairman who instead advocated for investigating an individual is himself under investigation. He expressed his objection, saying now the UML is being blamed for this.

The UML General Secretary reiterated that the UML will acknowledge all suggestions in the context of nation building.
