Feeling overwhelmed.

I am moving this week. My parents are helping me, but they are not very emotional people , and I am. I feel very nervous. I am also getting ready to leave my job. I am worried I can’t stand on my own. Many of my friends are further ahead in their lives, but up until now I have been okay with this, just trucking along doing my thing. For some reason this weekend, everyone is busy and not returning my phone calls. I feel really worried about my capacity to move and plan my future. I wish I had my friends just calling and saying “hey can I be there for you?” ” I have faith in you” Why after the amount of calls I’ve made, is no one callling me back?

I think it is always the way when you need someone there for you, when you ask the wait seems all that longer than normal, I think because you are in desperate need it feels like no one is around when in fact the length of time passed has not been that long.

just try to relax, atay calm and realise you can do this, it should be an exciting time, try to think of the positives :)

I that makes sense LD. I guess I could try to be a bit more excited. And do something fun, to break up the worry.
And Monkichirmo. I appreciate that. But I can’t do everything myself. I need people. How do you be a people person on your own?

A friend of mine told me that I have to get used to being alone. I haven’t been able to yet and ask the same question you do. I try to put all negative thoughts out of my mind, but it’s not easy.

Hang on in there. People are always willing to help, you just have to keep asking. Exhaust all your resources.
Just don’t give up :)
