I just don't feel young anymore, how can I deal with this?
Hello, I'm m/19 and I feel so old that I don't feel any sense of fun or happiness.
When I see how happy my little 4-year-old niece is, I feel like I have no soul and I have a lot of adrenaline in my body from my 2-month training.
I also feel pretty worthless. Someone who is laughed at, a joke, and I have no sense of community. In the Red Cross, my colleague sees my weaknesses, and whenever I talk to them about myself, they just laugh at me. I stay cool with them, but I can't ignore them because they're just looking for someone they find funny out of boredom. They always mention my name, which I find annoying. I just say to them: "It's great that you're looking after me. That's the aim of the Red Cross, to make me happy and show me empathy." That way I want to confuse them and get them not to embarrass me. These people didn't insult me, just to be clear, but they're still annoying. I get a shiver down my spine when I hear them mention my name.
I'm currently in psychological therapy and have been told I suffer from stress. My family has a stigma around yoga, saying it's "only for women."
But yes, I feel like an old man and not a young man anymore. I've also somehow lost interest in loving people or falling in love with anyone.
How can I deal with this?

It’s best to talk to your treating therapist. As a layman, one should not interfere in ongoing treatments with amateur tips.

I’ve already talked to her about it.
What did she say?
She has not yet addressed the solutions with me, unfortunately, because the time was almost around in therapy.
I like playing cards with friends. But when we were little children, we didn’t need cards to play; to play this free, unobtrusive way, we learn of time. But we all have inner child, which is longing to play. However, the inner child is more and more suppressed because his behaviour is considered “childish” and is devalued. As a result, adults often can no longer let their imagination run free, so they need clear rules for playing.
You have become aware that your childhood is over and is expected from you in the future that you always grow up and behave wisely. This can be sober and like a Loss feel. I did.
But I have learned that as an adult, you can sometimes leave the inner child out. I rediscovered Hobbies from my childhood; For example, I read many books again after I haven’t read for years.
You should be able to feel fun and happiness as an adult. If that’s hard for you, it might be a hint of depression. Think about what you used to be fun and talk about it with your therapist.
I think it might have something to do with food. I used to feed rather unhealthy and felt very often, tired, uncomfortable and old. Then after the diet, I felt much better. A combination of healthy diet and sport certainly helps you feel a bit better, so less emotionless, stressed and old.
They say you’re as old as you feel. This is only conditional because you can control feelings and also change distractions. – Deal with things that do well: for example, the nature made by God because he loves us.
You should let go, free yourself. I feel a lot of negative energies in your life when you say that. Destroy them. Realize, the world only revolves around you and wants you to be happy.
I am also 19 and live in freedom, independent and it feels so good. I notice the more I’ll let go the more I’ll be liberated. I’m just doing things that make me fun. I avoid stress and feed me well. Almost every day, I’m chasing new dreams and ideas that I’ve forgotten the next time. This is also not so important for me, I want to live for today and only for him yesterday I live in continuous loop. To avoid most people is the first step, it may sound cruel but you will realize which people carry a light in themselves and which only darkness. People without manners and respect are not a way of dealing, you will realize that and it will answer you when you realize what happens. I like philosophy, rene descartes, he also doubted at his time everything on the question of this. I’m not looking for that, he’s already found for me, thank you lol, no I’m looking for myself, because I feel like you lost me. 💭🧭
Therapy can help, but for me it was nothing more than a way to find recognition for myself with the others. You know, I was wondering why I need this recognition? And I wondered how it happened… there was a lot of work out and suddenly no therapy was necessary. Open up, I just wanted to say
