I guess turn about is fair play..

I’m the guy that talks everyone though this cr*p. I’m the one with the helpful attitude that makes everyone smile, I’m the one that gets all bent out of shape when somebody says, “Let them die if that’s what they want.”

I’m always so positive and suddenly I feel drained. I’m not so sure I can provide that positiveity when it’s needed and that depresses me even more. I’m not one to let others down, but right now I couldn’t be positive if I needed it to breathe. I see so much anger, self hate, and misplaced emotion and I want so bad to help with it all but I now see that I’m limited and that makes it even worse as far as feelings go.

How do I handle this, how do I recharge. How do I stand for what I know is important but be so exhausted I can’t think straight…

How do you do it?

Do you have someone in your life influencing you? I find that while I’m usually positive my negative boyfriend can really bum me out. I don’t even talk to him about my problems because he makes them worse with his attitude. Could you be holding it in instead of sharing it?

I have no one in my life right now.. All my family moved away, one of my friends Mother just died and I feel very “mortal” all of a sudden, it’s disarming..

I’ve always had this attitude of “Me” saves the world, but not in a funny way. In a “how can I help” way. Now it all feels like a great weight on my shoulders!!!
