Something’s not right

Feeling Lost

Feeling Lost

i feel really lost in life. i dont know what i want to do in life or i do but it doesnt seem overly acheiveable. im so indecisive all the time. i dont know what to do.

im finding myself getting so jealous of other people who are doing well and succeeding in life. i normally love whe those around me succeed but sometimes i wish their experiences were mine. so many things have changed in my life or have been placed upon me that its hard to see the next day sometimes.

Re: Feeling Lost

Ohh @outlander I'm so sorry to hear about your SH. It is frustrating when we go for a long time without doing it and then it seems to come back so full on.

I am glad you are checking in with your gp more often and seeing the counsellor too. You need that support hon and deserve it too.

I hope today goes ok for you hon 💕💕

Re: Feeling Lost

the problem is that i dont find their support that helpful @Snowie its just the same old thing and usually results in them saying we dont know how to help you and then it just leads to that vicious cycle. its like because i know what i should be doing that is the answer to everything. if im not doing it to the T then its my issue

Re: Feeling Lost

I'm sorry hon @outlander Is there anything I can do to help?

I am ok. Just had a call from the hospital about my admission tomorrow. Not looking forward to it but I have to do it or my pdoc will make it involuntarily.

Re: Feeling Lost

Best to stay voluntary where you can @Snowie sometimes i feel like i should go back and spend a couple of days getting myself some help but i also know thats not really posisble either. theres so many things i would rather be doing but i feel so stuck in this lifetime.

Re: Feeling Lost

I really don't want to go in @outlander but I know if I do it voluntary that it would be better for me. It looks like I will be in for about 3 weeks so will be around here less often.

It is sometimes hard to put ourselves first but there are times where we have to hon.
