If your character is 22, that would mean she was born in the Year 1555 of the Sixth Astral Era. It is currently the First Year of the Seventh Astral Era. Eorzea recently underwent an Era change after the most recent Calamity 5 years ago. Whenever one of these Calamities hits, the Astral Era ends and is replaced by an Umbral Era (or dark period in history) until however long it takes until the people of Eorzea deem their society past said dark time, resulting in another calendar reset and the start of the next Astral Era.
So the Sixth Astral Era ended in the Year 1572, the following Seventh Umbral Era lasted 5 years after that, then - as part of the MSQ - the leaders of the Eorzean Alliance declared the Umbral Era done and we reset again into the First Year of the Seventh Astral.
Hope that helps clarify some things! ^^
A good guide to Eorzea time telling can be found here!
Also a useful, albeit severely outdated Eorzean timeline of events can be found here!
