random, somewhat depressing thought
Posted On 12/17/2007 02:58:38 by brandy
so things aren't going so well lately, and i wish i knew what to do. I'm trying so hard and doing all that i can to get better and move past this stage in my life but it's so hard. I get so stressed and have panic attacks about the simplest things which make me hate myself even more. why does this happen to us? why do we have to carry all of this pain and fear? it makes no sense...i can only cling to the belief that it is part of a much greater plan, that there is goodness and life coming for each of us and this is just something we must go through on the way.
I have severe social anxiety, and it affects me everyday. Are you guys lonely too? Its so hard to be with people because im always worried about their judgement of me, but its hard to be alone because i know i've failed... can anyone relate?
i think its the fact that all my friends are coming back from univeristy this week for the holiday that is compouding my stress level, because I am so different from them. i wish i could have the opportunites that they can, i only pray that those will happen for me too. i feel so isolated and different from them all and its very painful and lonely. I wish none of us had to go through this, but i know it's making us strong.

Yeah, I can relate. I've been really getting lonely lately. Especially lately since I made a friend in the past few weeks that I really seem to connect with and we think very similarly and it was nice being able to talk to someone that was one the same wavelength as me. But now sadly it looks like I won't see her again. I remember she showed me a video of her and her friends goofing off and it reminded me of what life is supposed to be like. It made me realize how much I long for that close circle of friends that everyone seems to have where you can just be yourself and you don't have to worry about being judged or saying something stupid because it wouldn't matter to them. I had a circle of friends for a little while a long time ago and I miss it more than anything now.

work and school are the only times i'm ever around people anymore. i recently came to the sad realization that i basically spend all my free time alone :/

i really hope your spirits pick up soon, brandy.

Yes I'm very lonely and I feel like in this point in my life I should be so much more. I have friends but like Protonicblue said it's hard to do things because of the stress level. I wish I could do the things that all my other friends are doing but it takes a lot of work I think. Hang in there you have all kinds of support here. :)

I know exactly how you feel. I feel as if im behind in life compared to my peers. But it does get better as you get older. I know that that is a horrible thing to say but at 18 I couldnt even go out of the house without having a panic attack. Now im 28 and have moved 1500 miles away from my family and im surviving. It gets better.Laughing

I have friends and everything but I'm still lonely, because I don't do much with them.
