Really freaking out about the future

Really freaking out about the future

I'm really worried about my future...

There's so much effort required to get anywhere in life and I don't think I can do it.

I'm always worried that I won't 'get there'

For someone my age I'm very worried and very stressed as well as not being very optimistic about the future..

I'm just afraid and concerned and I hate it..

Re: Really freaking out about the future

Hi @MDT - i feel like that.. some of the time, though these days im not aspiring ot more than just being a good mum and ok at work. don't forget though that we can't know the future (my crystal ball doesnt work...). There could be good things in store for us and the only way it can be possible is if we keep looking forward... at least some of the time. I keep getting told that i need to be open to possibilities, open to change and half the time i don't even know what that means or feel so down that it just doesnt seem possible but other times i have better glimpses of things being different and i hold on to that..
Hoping for you, that things do look up a bit more again soon.

You’re on the home straight for uni @MDT. Having that degree will give you an edge. The best that life has to offer is still in front of you.

Re: Really freaking out about the future

true @soul
but i need to find motivation in all of this and that can prove rather difficult with my mh..
i get overly anxious most of the time too.

Do you have some relaxation techniques that work for you? Still going to the gym? Music? Meditation?

How's the group therapy coming along @MDT?

Re: Really freaking out about the future

I'm just scared I won't be competitive in the job market and I don't where or what to look for..
Plus then there is all the rest of the other stuff on my mind all the damned time...
i just want to fit in with life...

Re: Really freaking out about the future

I know @MDT,if you are anything like me you have that feeling of difference from the others,and I was never competitive because I lacked confidence.Doesnt matter what I do ,the lack of confidence and anxiety comes through.Try and work on these issues and how to deal with it in a job interview.
