Spinning around - down down into the ground.

I’m not lost, I know excactly where I am. I just don’t know where I’m going.

I have choices, I hate choices.

First no one ever helped anyone without knowing a bit about them.

I suffer from: Panic Disorder, Situational Social Anxiety (described as extreme by my psychologist) and clinical depression.

Obviously these don’t help me when it comes to making choices.

I am feeling alone, I am not the kind of person who makes decisions based on his own needs.

I can’t seem to motivate myself to do anything for myself, yet I will do anything for anyone else.

I’m 17

I’m not in education, I havn’t got a job.

I need a future to get through my past.

Help?

Work with your therapist and don’t be afraid to go to the dark ugly stuff they uncover. Deal with your fears and eventually they will lessen.

You sound a bit like me, so take your meds and keep talking to your phsych doctor. I am very successful now. I am over most of my problems, and I keep the others I have under control.

17 is a messed up age. It gets better with time. Your peers will (for the most part) get nicer with time. Teens are some of the meanist people. Adults and small children are much nicer people. Try to get involved with either group and only keep friends who are positive and do good things.

I am 45 and I would not want to relive my teen years. Trust me, it does get better with hard work on your part.

Good luck!

It’s good to hear that you’re not lost. As to having choices, be glad you have them. It means you are in control of your life.

I sometimes feel that I don’t know where I’m going. I know how it feels to be not exactly lost and not exactly found. Figure out what you want to do in your life, where you want life to take you then work on going after that — your goals in life. Making a list might help too.

It’s nice to know that you’re willing to do anything for anyone. It shows that you care about the world. The world needs people lke you who are unselfish enough to help. As to motivating yourself, picture yourself that you reached the top (of your goals etc). This could inspire you to put your best foot forward and make every dream happen.

Have faith in your capabilities.

Worrying is a bad habit, you need to overcome it like any other bad habit. Try to modify the factors under your control, that is the only thing you can do. From http://mshn.org/worry.html
