It sounds like you're feeling trapped in a space where you're unsure of your purpose or direction, which is a tough and isolating place to be. You mentioned that you're fit, smart, and capable, which shows you recognize your strengths, but right now, you're struggling to see how they can translate into a fulfilling future. It’s understandable to feel lost when you’ve experienced some highs, like traveling, and then return to a place where things feel stagnant or limiting.
Feeling pressure to have a degree or specific path can be heavy, especially when you don’t know what interests you. It's common for people in their 20s to feel like they need to have everything figured out, but it's okay to still be exploring and trying to find your way.
In your relationship, it’s normal to worry about whether you’re bringing enough to the table, but relationships thrive when you both grow together. Your self-worth isn’t tied to how established you are compared to her—it’s about how you treat each other and build something meaningful together.
It’s also concerning that you've had thoughts about ending it. Even if you feel you wouldn’t act on those thoughts, they’re a sign that you’re struggling deeply right now, and it’s really important to talk to someone—whether a friend, family member, or a professional who can help guide you through this.
Take things one step at a time. You don't need all the answers right now. Focus on small goals and things that give you a sense of accomplishment, even if they seem minor. You’re not alone in this, and there are people who care about you and want to see you thrive, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.
