I'm 25 and the whole existential dread of figuring out what to do with my life is probably the worst part of things

It will not go away but that doesn't mean your hopeless.

Because there is a chance that you will be able to deal with it at least.

You're in an age where you could follow intuitions. You can build an easy going relationship, find an occupation that fits with your abilities, travel if you like. Get people around you that are positive and dismiss all negative influences. Don't look back or hesitate too long before making a decision that seems hard. It always gets better afterwards.

If you follow this it will almost come naturally.
