Something’s not right

I can't articulate why I feel so average and depressed

I can't articulate why I feel so average and depressed

I think I feel overwhelmed with all the things going on in my life at the moment.

While it's good to have "things" going on, I still feel overwhelmed. Think this is due to my mindset and my attitude towards what is happening.

In a list this is what is happenig:

- I start a new full time job next Monday and I am worried it will be majoirty work from home - which I really do not like 😕 and I am worried that it will effect me negatively because of this fact. I was told there will be 1 day of work in the office, but I really really want that to be working in the office majority of the time. I am worried there are so many apple carts that could be upset

- my analyst role is going okay, but just as I feel that I am really doing some good work it feels like it's going to conflict with my new work which will be quite demanding due to it being full time

- I have started chatting with a girl from an app and I am worred things may be accelerating way too fast. I also feel like it's a "situation" waiting to happen. I really don't know where I stand with any of it, but I am also aware that if I keep on shutting myself out to this sort of thing then it'll be a circle of crap where I end up feeling alone. So I'm just really apprehensive about anything at all really

- The further study next year will be good, but it is full time and it's possibly quite accelerated. That's a bridge I am yet to cross because I still need to get my stupid transcript from the place I was "studying" at this year in order to actually get accepted. Then I also need to wait on the government funding to be approced which could take me all the way to Jan. It's just a "thing" that's hanging over my head and I can't do anything to speed it up because the institution is still taking its own sweet time to do nothing. I'm actually quite angry about it tbh.

- I feel this week is getting away from me fast and I still have things to do.

- I want to get back into an exercise regime and it's going to change next week anyway. I am bout to go to gym now to help my mood.

@MDT Your welcome .Start visulizing the life you want to have. Because although we have time, life will go by quickly. Surround yourself with people that value you.

I'm just waiting to see a Dr. I have not been in a good place. But I am working through it.

Re: I can't articulate why I feel so average and depressed

I've realised now that something happened to me that shouldn't not have when I was a younger teen.
This was entirely my fault. At that age I was very very impressionable. I will need to see my psych again soon to find some answers.
I am trying to balance what happened to me and why along with what I want now in life and where I want to go (wherever that is)

I feel empty and lost without love but also am afraid of vulnerability and being judged for my lack of experience. I get quite depressed about it.

I think I ruined a chance last night but I was also okay with that not happening as well but idk. It's not easy to try and figure this out
