Really just need to vent tonight. I have had a few really bad days following some really good days so feeling so conflicted about everything. Currently have very little control over life - waiting to hear back from employers. Unsure whether I will have to move for work. Unsure of what that will do for my relationships. I have recently had family members come back into my life and don't want to move but at the same time need to eat. Having flashbacks and urges to SI but trying to hold off. Being here often helps - posting for myself and for others. Reminds me I'm not alone.

Trying to stick to my routines and continue with life but nights are always the hardest.

Don't even know that this would make sense to anyone but me, but it does help to get it out.

Anyone out there tonight?

Having the details of your life (jobs, moving) up in the air can cause anxiety. I'm glad that you have had some good days. Do you know why you had some good days?

Hi,
I hope you get the job offer which will not involve moving too far; that's a tough choice....sounds like you have your priorities right.

Nights are hard here for me lately.....I don't know why....needing more and more control over everything.....just wanted to write to you that I read your post.

Peace,
"help....."

Hang in there, I totally understand what you going through right now. You are not alone!!! I am unemployed and almost out of options, the anxiety is tough on me too. I just keep telling myself, "it will get better"!!

Thank you all it really helps to hear from others. I just had a really bad night. Stressing over all of the work stuff that I really need to work out soon and also needing to prepare for one of the worst fire dangers on record (and I live in a danger zone at the best of times). I know it's better to be prepared but having to think about what I would save is a pretty sombering thought. Always seems to be a problem at night when I begin to slow down.. it tends to be when my mind starts to race.

Help, sorry to hear you are struggling as well at the moment

Pam, I hope your job situation works itself out soon.

Thank you all again

Stressing about the future doesn't really help. Do you think that you can stop yourself from doing it and try to relax?
