I have my entire life ahead of me, but I feel stuck. It’s like all the things I used to enjoy give me little to no satisfaction, and I’m honestly terrified of the future. Help?

Perhaps you feel that way because you changed and grew up! Sometimes passion changes and maybe you didn’t find what you really enjoy! Being scared of the future is a normal thing when you feel that you can’t move on and stuck in the same life style.
The unknown is always scary considering that we fear the future will mirror our past if we lived something bad. All of us tend to believe, since birth, that history repeats itself. However human beings are not unchangeable, they reinvent themselves instead of repeating themselves.
If you are scared of what the future hide, maybe seeing it as a challenge rather than a threat or as a pleasant surprise would bring some joy to living. Taking life as a compelling story that is still unfolding, for that knowing, the ending generally ruins the story. And living is all about the story.
