drowning

[zoemo]

im new here. writing is so hard because i never know how to explain this feeling. im constantly crying over things i dont understand and the more i try to speak to someone the more it gets worse because i feel like im in my own world and no one will ever understand. im about to write exams and i dont think i can with all the weight on my shoulders

I'm also new here. I came here to talk as I feel that no one around me is truly listening to me. It's hard to explain feelings but even harder when you get the "it's all in your mind". That's exactly the problem but it won't go away... today sucks so bad that I have been thinking of things I don't want to think about. Hope your day gets better ☺️ even if it's temporary.

It is all in your mind but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Does that make sense? I’m in no way putting anyone down because I’m in a down phase right now as well. And it IS my mind not the reality. And that’s where we all can use help. I agree, I often feel no one is listening. That includes husband, kids etc. I think it’s because of the constant pressure in the world. Or maybe that’s my perception. Anyway, remember, the mind IS playing tricks on you and getting the thoughts out in the open can help you realize they are perhaps a distorted perception and not reality.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way! Ive been in similar situations and I can relate to how you are feeling. You are not alone! I hope you exams go well, hang in there.

Honestly reading this, it's nice to know I am not alone in that feeling. I hope it can give you some comfort in knowing that you aren't alone in this feeling. I also feel like no one can understand how I'm feeling. They try to listen but it is so hard to put into words the feeling I get.

Hey Zoe,

I can totally understand how you're feeling. I've been there, and I have a daughter who's in college now too. Fk that whole amazing college life sh*t. Truth be told, it's torture! School, friends, mom, dad, grades, loans, dumb ass advisors, and the whole gambit. It's testing your grit for sure Zoemo, but I'll put $20 on you. We got you here, and if you're up to it, try and find a professional to talk to by you. You may or may not really need it. You're probably super stressed because of having to deal with new sh*t on your own, but whatever. You can vent here, and we'll be you're talking journal how's that

With Love Always...AU

Crap are you in school? Man, I've read so many posts I'm loopy! Ok so maybe I'm off base, but whatever you are facing, we got you!

Hello Angel. I can recommend a book The Work from Byron Katie. She is on YouTube as well. She has given me the tools which is radically changing my life.... When I look back to even four weeks ago, I can see such a huge difference. It's four very basic but powerful questions that literally become part of you. This your journey and your business so, that's all I can do for you is recommend a book... The rest, hunni is your call. Loads of looooooove to you, Sugar. ❣️

I just looked her up and this is the first I heard of her but if the rest is like this she’s on the money:

I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn't believe them, I didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment.

I'm doing the work and it's time and commitment but it's soooo true! Well, it's proving to be for me too. Xxx

Welcome. Thank you for sharing how you have been feeling. As tiny gold was saying, you are not alone. Have you tried speaking with a licensed counselor ? I know that speaking with a professional about the wayear I was feeling was helpful. Please let me know if you would like addition resources.

Hope that your exams go well.

I understand because I have felt the way you do now. Some days are better than others but you can't explain your feelings and fears to someone who hasn't experienced something similar. I'm glad you're here and hope you find the support you need.
