Something’s not right

fear of failing

fear of failing

I am worried and anxious every day that I will fail at life

I know I'm only young but I seriously feel like I will become a laughing stock of everyone... then everyone will say "i told you so"

I am sick of being so alone all the time.. I struggle to socialise... even though I know I can do it... Peoeple treat me different because I'm too tall...

I can't handle people anymore with their silly problems... people just abandon me and think I'm being rude or something... but I'm not... I'm just sick of stupid people and I'm also anxious...

I have no idea what to do with my life at all..

Every weekend is horrible. I have nothing to do except be on my own.

Rarely do things get organised and happen... I have nothing else to live for...

I have no proper job because my university timetable is terribly organised (beyond my control) and I have no money left... I feel like a loser who still depends on his parents for support...

I'm sick of medication...

If nothing gets offered to me at the end of the year (highly likely) then I'm going to end it.

I can't handle living like this..

Re: fear of failing

Sounds good @MDT

I'm going to have a cup of herbal tea before bed and read a book.

Take care, step by step. Kindness to yourself really can go a long way.

Hope you can talk about this with your therapist next session.

@MDT- try not to think too far ahead; sometimes this can lead to more dissapointments. I really hope you can see some benefits in time from your therapy & support group. I understand that dark place, it's hard to be there and nothing changes, nothing shift. Often there is nothing to be done except taking whatever steps are necessary to stay alive and move ever so slowly towards building a better life. I've enjoyed reading your posts to others, and your gentle, caring way. I'm here for you too @MDT as I'm not going anywhere soon either. Keep talking to us.

Re: fear of failing

hey everyone
woken up today feeling absolutely shite
but still going off to uni to do a study day.. need to get on top of work before it snowballs...
so much on my mind lately.. had a dream last night about everyone around me succeeding at things they do and then me having the total opposite happen.. people constantly taking the mickey out of me.. self pity.. you name it..
i suppose the worst thing i could have done today would be stay at home..
