I'm getting it. I have an appointment on Friday with a Psychologist which for me is a MASSIVE step but i have to try something. Because what i'm doing just isn't working. I want to go back to being who I was before.
I can understand trying to get help, but just make sure that after all the advice people give you, you make up your own mind and don't just do things because people suggest them to you. Some people suggested that I take anti-depressants, but I was just going through a stage in my life where things sort of just sucked and I needed to work my way through it. Anti-depressants have all sorts of side effects and I think that would've been a worse result for me at the end of the day.
I understand where you're coming from anyway, and sometimes you don't know what to do to make it better. And what works for one person might not work for someone else. Hopefully you'll work it out.
For me it was a matter of figuring out what I wanted to do with my life, then do it for myself and not worry about anyone else. At one stage I felt like nothing and let what other people thought of me mean too much. I remember at school in year 10, I got 97% in maths and came second in the year, and I went home and told my dad and he was like "next time you should do better!", and I just felt really awful, and didn't want to try anymore. I stopped for ages right up until before the HSC when my marks had gotten so bad I was barely passing/failing, and then I realised that working isn't for anyone else but me (i mean, duh!). I still didn't do that well in the end, but I tried, and I learnt a lesson! If I've done well at something I don't need approval from anyone, I can just be pleased to myself and happy on the inside! And, that's how I feel about everything
Plus I have some places I go when I don't feel so great and want to be alone that make me happy and want to make an effort with my life! It's not perfect but it's possible to be happy without a perfect life!
Ok I wrote lots!!!!
