I have been kind of down and out lately.

All my friends keep finding me at school or just showing up at my house trying to figure out what is going on.They tell me I am becoming a hermitt. I know they are doing it out of love but I am tired of it because I don’t really know what has got my mood so crazy. I went out this weekend and I forced myself to interact but where I was so comfortable before is just miserable now.kind of pathetic. I am tired all the time and just have a bad case of the ‘blahs’. Maybe it is issues I haven’t dealt with or well,… I don’t know. I don’t want to say I am depressed b/c I think that is over used but nothing is the same. I have tried meds but then I couldn’t even feel sad, let alone happy. But I just don’t know how to get to a point where I feel normal again.

when u are walking then it can also be the best time when u are going to name the things that are bothering you…or the reason of the emptiness…and then what are the ways to solve them. that way it would be at least easier to clear the picture. u can also talk to ur friends. they come by and ask how u have been doing. u might just be in a stage and ull come back with ur old self any minute. just dont make this feeling–the sad or empty feeling rule over you. u are the master of your own self.

I love life…Yeah, I’m sad, but at the same time, I’m really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It’s like…It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I’m feeling is like a beautiful sadness.

I will get back to normal. I guess I just came out of a very up time to a very low down time. Things will be up soon enough

Been there done that again and again and again…..You should stop worrying about being in the house of Mars as the Romans called it. It is a part of life, you just take time for yourself and do something you love. For me it is on my Harley, sometimes that doent do it. It is just the way it is.

If you are hurting and feeling as if you could cause yourself or others pain then get some help. It is normal to feel BLAH and need to take sometime for yourself. Especially with the pressures of school and social life.

Peace

Sometimes being positive is really hard but I try. Especially with all the questions I have had about myself lately, but I know, somehow things always work out, even if I don’t feel it now. I just want all of this to be over

both u and i when we feel thesame awkward feeling will have to hang on and then we try to get away the blues. then its gonna be alright. it may come back soon enough and we’ll redo what we did to get the good feeling again. how does it sound?

Souns like a plan. My life has been far from normal and it is amazing that I am doing as well as I am. Everyone around me says it but then when I start to work through things people tell me I am being to distant so I just push the unresolved issues back for another time. Supression is what my teacher calls it.
I know I will have to deal with these things one day so I can have a healthy adulthood and not repeat the cycle but I just don’t think I am strong enough to deal with it. The wound has not healed enough to start reopening it.

Does that make any sense?

it makes a lot of sense to me. confusing it may seem bec i am not the one having it but i am trying to get the order of it. :-) closure is very important dealing with past concers. it’s just now im thinking that it can be one of the reasons why most of us could not get to face the future bec there are possibilities of past issues which we were not able to close. some of these issues are hunting us down and rather difficult to fight back.

I have been told by a very wise woman that the past is a guidepost not a hitching post. The world never stops for anything no matter how bad we want it to stand still. I just wish I knew how to find closure. Maybe it is just a process of working things out in our own hearts.

You have been trying to work out your issues by yourself for a period of time now and you obviously have hit a roadblock on your road to health. If you can see this then why prolong your suffering? Share whatever it is and let us all have an opportunity to help you. You did come here for help, right?

sometimes I have a hard time REALLY opening up. I kind of feel like a burden. I know that sounds dumb. But not only did I come here for help I also came to try and help others.

Today is ok. I argued with my family yesterday. They said that I have been to distant. I do not know why they just can not let me have some time. My grades are up, my stuff is clean, I am not out partying, or hurting anyone. So why can’t they just be happy with that?
I am still trying to not let it bother me. In a few years I won’t even remember that. I am trying to let it be like water on a ducks back and just roll off.

i did not grow up having a complete family such as yours so no one was there telling me i have been too distant bec they cared so much about me that they want to know whats going on with me. would talking to ur family help loose anything that’s bothering you? im sure they want to listen to you. u might not want to bore others with ur thoughts but they are ur family and they want to help.what do u think?

I have just recently started living with them. They are great but I can’t leel with them. We are in the same family but we are onthing a like. My Mimi is the best but sometimes she can be onver bearing and up untill now I have basically raised myself and it is hard going from being a lone to having someone around you all the time telling you all the things you should do and how to do them. I can not make them understand that if I was them I would do it the way they do but I am me so as long as you get the same end result it should be ok.

i think talking to them open heartedly would always help. they must not know what’s going on with ur mind since u have just lived with them. the culture that u have been so adapted with may not be so clear to them. i have the feeling that they really want to get to know you. it could be that they just have to hear things from you so they wont have to guess what in ur mind.

life can be beautiful, especially if you allow yourself to be who you want… you have friends that love you, believe in them and let them help you, that is what friends are for, i can understand the feeling of not thinking people will understand or not wanting to bring them down or feeling like there is no point, but try leaning on your loved ones they want to be there for you, or try thinking: Okay every thing sucks, i’ll just float around for a bit, and then see if something sparks your interest and explore it with out making it too serious, maybe you will find motivation or a new perspective, there is a song, its kinda corny, by sweet box, it is called my life is cool, it makes me happy when i hear it! SOMETHING INTERESTING: Soul, Korea is one the funnest places on earth! there are malls open till 4am and spas that stay open 24/7. It is like an all acess safer feelin New York, where all of the skyscrapers are filled floor after floor with bars, cafes, kereoke rooms, clubs, gamerooms, and things that cater to young adults, so when you see the sea of lights and buildings it ignites excitment because every thing is there for you to explore, plus Koreans are very friendly and polite people so it is even better, and Korean food is the BOMB! there is so much to explore in this world!

u just might need sometime alone to urself and to think of ur platform and how u see things. go to see different people by urself and get urself used to other people then after u feel ready enough to come back to reality then tell urself that ur ready.
