I'm doing better.... I think....

[Midnightwolf1]

Lately I've been reverting to cleaning up the house since I don't start school till Friday. For some reason cleaning helps me get my mind off of things but when I have nothing to do I just think about it all over again. I try drawing but I get so frustrated with it that I give up, so I'll try writing but I run out of ideas on how to word it or what to write. Than I try reading but all I do is stare at the page thinking about everything all over again. Same thing goes with music 9 time out of 10..... Idk what to do, I tried to talk to one of my friends about it but he just didn't seem to understand... but I think I'm doing ok and thats all I can really ask for, right?

Never give up on trying things, friend. Eventually, you will find something that you truly love doing and it will help to get the bad negative thoughts off your mind. It's hard for people who never experienced trauma to understand what you are going through and that's okay. That's why we are here for you, we are/ were all depressed, broken, hurt at some point in our life and we know how terrible it is to be in these situations. You are not alone and you don't have to feel lonely. Stay strong, friend, getting ready for school can also be a temporary distraction for you to do . Good luck and stay safe xoxo.

Howdy Skylar! It's ok to be human. 😀 Even if you just doodle, it doesn't matter. I'm in the same boat when it comes to reading. I got around that via comic books lol. There are always possibilities, Skylar. 😀 Even if it just involves writing random words on a page, it could open the floodgates of creativity. Sometimes, all it takes is a moment of inspiration to get you on your way. Don't forget, other people who have never been through what you have will have a hard time understanding. Sometimes, you need to put it in an analogy that they can understand. Stay positive and be happy! 😀

Your friend,

Brian ☺

I'm trying. I usually write story's but my ideas are running short. But I'll try to stay positive about things.

[bridder01 in reply to Midnightwolf1]

Have you thought about writing fiction? That way you can paint a verbal picture of anything you like. 😀

[Midnightwolf1 in reply to bridder01]

Yea, I just start a Horror\Romance book

[bridder01 in reply to Midnightwolf1]

Well, there you go! I bet it'll be a scream lol 😀

[bridder01 in reply to Midnightwolf1]

Just don't use werewolves. They scare the hell out of me lol 😁

[Midnightwolf1 in reply to bridder01]

[Marshall64 in reply to bridder01]

Is a werewolf the same thing as a midnight wolf? 😊

[Marshall64 in reply to Midnightwolf1]

Horror, romance, the same thing...😊

Which comics did you read?

[bridder01 in reply to Hidden]

I read primarily DC. Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern are my faves, with the Flash getting an honorable mention lol

[Hidden in reply to bridder01]

I had a friend who had huge boxes of comics. He was a serious collector.

Is it the anticipation of starting school that has you anxious? If it is then I might suggest it might not be anxiety but misplaced excitement.

[Midnightwolf1 in reply to Hidden]

I don't think I'm anxious about school. But I could be cause I am starting at a new school.
