Hey how does your feel? I feel that now that I am reaching the age of 22 that my whole life is dying. Like a new phase and everybody around me is growing into a new phase as well.Its as if all the things I wanted to achieve in the past are gone and now I have to do something new. Its kinda of depressing and all the people I knew are now moving on as well. Maybe the door closed on my old life and I can let it go. Hopefully the new life will be everything I wished for.
Do you understand me?

this is normal. 22 is about the age you leave college, so im guessing this is what you mean.
if you ever watch buffy the vampire slayer, they had an excellent metaphor for this.
in season 5 she died.
in season 6, she came back to life. she was miserable being alive, because (while dead) she was in heaven, and how that she is alive again reality is nothing but suffering, so she becomes depressed.
the metaphor here is that college (Which she stopped attending after season 5) is in fact heaven. its the best time of your life. its all fun and games, and sure there is work, but its really cushy compared to going out and figuring life on your own.
aftercollege everyone sorta 'loses' themselves. its no longer about the parties and hanging out and friends. everyone gets thrown into the world and has to figure out what they are doing with their lives.
everyone gets passed it. you will to.
i find the best way to get through it is just have a solid plan. figure out your job, where you wanna live, and quickly get settled and then do your best to find (or e ven create) a group of friends.

when you first leave college, it generally is. this is a broad statement, sure, and its not MY metaphor, so do with it what you will, but no one tends to leave college and immediately fall into place and have the time of their life.
leaving college means leaving behind the parties and adventures and focusing on figuring out what you are actually doing with life, finding a place to live, finding work, etc.
in time you adjust and find new ways to have a fun life.
either way, go fuck urself.
