any advice for a teenage girl who fears they’re going nowhere?

ik this is stupid to think abt esp at a young age, but i suffer from a shitty case of depression and am autistic (both r undiagnosed but it’s VERY obvious & m not that way just 2 be “quirky”) and i constantly get the feeling of impending doom and uncertainty over my future and would rlly appreciate some comfort.

idk what i’ll do abt a future job, how i’ll find myself, what employment & housing will look like by the time i’m an adult, being afab + being queer in America r shitty currently, all of these r just things i have zero idea how to deal with and idk how anyone in my life will react if i voice these concerns

thats a natural part of growing up, and uncertainty means you care. 

now, im sure that the current political state of the country is scary (assuming u live in the us,) but i assure you that you are a strong and resilient person, and that you can and will find a place for you! there are millions of opportunities for absolutely anything out there! now, if you feel unsure of a purpose and you dont feel passionate about much, i would reccomend branching out and trying new things. Yes i know, cliche, right? but it doesnt just have to be signing up for clubs or things like that, you could also try online communities if irl things are difficult(it is for me). get out there and try learning something new. pick up a new book, watch a new yt video, talk to someone passionate! people are very very willing to spread their knowledge! you got this!

(excuse my spelling & grammar in this)

I feel you, i always worry about these things too. Onee of the things you can do is find and try new things, even if they sound childish or funny. Or observe other people and their hobbies, what do they do, why are they doing it, would you like it, someting like barbie and her milion jobs. But still remember that not being sure what to do with your life is a normal part of teenagehood,  and you dont have to have everything figured out.
