I do nothing with my life at this point. This is something i already know. I have big, big dreams, but right now theyre just dreams. I dont know how i will ever get out of this house. I dont even know where to start. The thought of having to put myself out there and meet new people is really f***in' with my head. Ive been isolated for so long i think human contact (besides my family) might be a little weird, but i want to be social. I have to be, if i want to achieve any of my goals. My family thinks im lazy and unmotivated, but its much deeper than that.i know i cant depend on them for emotional support. I got alot of things working against me but ill try to keep what little hope i have left alive.

punk rock,
Wow, I totally hear you. I too have all these dreams that require me to get out of current situation and be proactive but it's incredibly scary isn't it. I look at other people and wonder why they can achieve a level of what I want to achieve yet I can't. My famiy too doesn't and will never understand how I am. I guess that's the thing right there. Each of us ourselves is the only one suffering exactly what we're suffering and thus no one else can understand us completely. Keep dreaming and hoping and I will do. We can't every let hope go. Z |

have u thought about starting out small... i went to a knitting group... startig a volunteer job once a week in jan... feel good about it. in volunteer u just show up and help and that feels good for one thing but u get to start getting use to being around others. baby steps.... then add another day. I plan on doing this until summer then go for a job. But small baby steps that are meaningful and can give u practise might get u to your dreams.. practise in a safe place.. just a thought. I hope you find your way!!!

Ah, I could have written this post myself. I see people on Facebook with these happy highly social lives and I sit there and freak out about going anywhere. I used to go out with friends and stuff, but then a very frightening event happened and now I'm too scared to be around people, yet I ache for human contact at the same time.
I don't have any wise advice at the moment, just a "I hear ya" type of comment. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
