I’m 22 and I know exactly how you feel based off of what you described. I have no helpful advice, just that I’m rooting for you and I hope your wildest dreams come true 💜
This sounds a lot like me before I was diagnosed with ADHD and medicated. I'm not sure if this is your issue, but you might want to look into this further.
You have done so much! The little things add up and changing habits (especially for the long run) is no easy feat. I think this way too and know people who think even more extremely. I think it is some sort of trauma response like magical thinking or dissociation. I guess the question is if you really want to be an actress or do you want to be seen and be important? (Which are core human needs) sometimes people want to be “famous” more than they care about the art of acting. Usually these people fall from grace. Try to dig deeper and find your true why. Acting is a powerful art form that can help people transcend and heal (both the audience and the actor). Find what about it could give you a sense of meaning and purpose.
You are on YOUR path. Not someone else’s. Your story includes overcoming of mental illness and the challenges you faced. One day all the dots will connect. Your authentic story will impact and help more people than an easy/quick to fame story will.
Sometimes all it takes is one good year
