Having career anxiety

...See more I am 20 years old, work full time at a bodyshop, and moved out of my parents with 2 roomates. Currently I dont know what to do with my life. I applied here because I wanted to learn how to fix cars/paint cars. But i am realizing it is very difficult to move up here. I can get moved up to painters helper but after these college kids graduate and quit. Even then theres no guarantee that I will be moved up or taught anything else as I have not seen anyone else paint besides our 1 painter. I am hesitant about asking to be taught anything because I am only a detailer and only worked here for 4 months. I dont think I really care for a dream job, just a job that pays well and Im good at. Any advice?

...See more Ive never been one to show my emotions or talk about my feelings to anyone, but for the past few months I have not felt right. I dont know if it was finding out my mom cheating on my dad, or if it was being denied of my dream career because of medical issues. Possibly its knowing Ill never get over my damn stutter. Or maybe being unemployed for my first time did it. Sometimes I forget to eat for the day because I constantly overthink, ive noticed i need to tighten my belt a couple notches more. My hands and feet sweat while the rest of my body is covered in goosebumps. I've left my parents house in tears for absolutely no reason at all. Something is up with me and I want help but whenever I try I think of all the reasons not to. Maybe its because how stressed and worried my dad can get, why would I do that to him? My parents would think it's their fault due to the issues between and blame themselves and I'll make it worse. Maybe I dont want my little sisters to know that sometimes big brother doesnt love himself. Maybe I dont want the extra attention it brings. Maybe its all of these reasons and then some. I don't know how long it will be before I do open up. Hopefully one day I get the courage.
