friends help: I keep dying a little inside. - Help.com

Well, I’m afraid I can’t do a whole lot but be here for you and listen…if you need to talk to someone, you’ve got me, and the whole Help.com gang. :)

Is there any kind of counselor (school or otherwise) available to you? This might be the last person you feel like turning to, but people who are far removed from the situation can be helpful, especially when you’re dealing with so much and it’s hurting you so badly. When I went through some severe bouts of anxiety/stress/depression, a counselor helped me find ways to relax and want to live my life. Hope this helps a bit.

I have four best friends: the one I’m crushing on, I haven’t talked to for a few days; the one I used to be the closest two is acting differently away from me, but the same when he’s with me; the one that’s been my ‘main’ bff for three years has never been the right girl to complain to; and the last one has problems on her own.

That’s five by my count, unless there’s some overlapping going on. ;)

..But seriously, this sort of feeling usually arises when we neglect our passions. What are you passionate about? What are your dreams, goals, and hopes, and how have you been pursuing them lately? Ask yourself enough of these sorts of questions and you may discover that your sense of ‘dying every day’ comes from a lack of stimulus. The mind and brain are very similar to muscles, in that if we don’t exercise them, they grow weak and start to break down.

So do something to break with routine and get out into the world. Speaking personally, I took a solo flight (my first!) to India and spent half a year there, traveling around. It doesn’t have to be that big, of course; but something along the lines of *doing something different*, shaking things up, creating some change.

Sometimes, that’s all it takes.

No wait…it’s four - I’m an idiot. Math was never my stong point. ;)

don’t worry too much if you feel you’re dying a little inside.. there are moments like these sometimes.. just remember that life is unpredictable. Something great might happen tomorrow and change your life forever! =]
