New and lost.

Hello everyone, as you can tell by the title I’m new at this and well I’ve been lost for a few years now about almost my whole life in my family we don’t really talk to “outsiders “ about out problems or worries actually my family doesn’t even talk about their feelings so when I started seeing a therapist they didn’t under and still don’t but I’m actually looking to feel less lonely I recently lost my only friend to a new relationship so I’m left without anyone to vent or just spend time with outside of my therapist office , been without a job for a few years too and my mother just told me she’s worried about what will happen to me when they’re not around anymore...I panic just thinking about trying to find a job and I have been close before but I always freeze and don’t follow through I don’t know what to do about anything.

Hello and welcome to the group!

I’m sorry to hear you don’t have anyone you feel like you can talk to me so I wanted to let you know that you can always contact me and I’m sure many others are willing to make the same offer when they see your post. You’re also always welcome to post publicly as well 🙂

As far as spending time with someone goes I won’t pressure you to tell me where you live but I have been recommending MeetUp to people lately. I’ve had mild success with it recently and it really depends on your interests, your comfort level and where you live as to what groups exist and how active they are but it’s a way to find people with at least one common interest or similar background.

Finding a job is incredibly frustrating and depressing. I have large portions of my life looking for and applying for jobs without so much as a response back from most of them. It’s hard but if you keep at it it can pay off.

As far as the freezing goes what do you mean by that?

Either way, welcome again and I wish you the best of luck finding the help you’re looking for! 🙂

Hi and thank you for the suggestions and friendliness, what I mean by freezing up is basically I panic and end up forgetting everything kinda like a small panic attack.

I’m still not 100% certain I understand exactly what it is that you’re experiencing but I’m sorry to hear that happens. Any degree of panic attack is horrible to experience. I don’t have any suggestions for that in mind right now but if I think of something I’ll get back with you.
