I Want To Hide

I have been really struggling lately - just thinking about my life and where I wish I was. It’s hard for me live in the moment. I always feel so far behind in life in regard to marriage, having kids, buying a house, etc. And I just want to stay in bed and be alone. I’m tired of trying. But I know I have too. But I’m tired and cannot find any motivation. I just want to feel happy with myself and my life.

Please don’t worry about being behind. There are so many people beginning their lives with family and a house much later in life! Make sure you take care of yourself including getting help from a doctor if this continues. You sound depressed. So many of us have walked in your shoes!

ironically I have had all those things but I want to hide because of my depression. Just know if I had to do life again I would have waited to be sure. Wait for a love that takes your breath away, have children when your life is balance, and have a home where you know where you want to stay. Be patient,

Although I don't have any constructive advice, and I apologize for that, know that you aren't alone feeling this way. I feel behind in life as well. Each day feels pointless, and everything terrifies me this point, but I have to remind myself to take one small step forward each day. Maybe you could try to find something, anything to get you out of bed ; doesn't matter what it is. I am wishing the best for you.

You might spend sometime on youtube learning about how to raise your self-worth and learning to validate yourself and stop looking for external validation. I spent years seeking external validation and comparing myself to others and no longer do it and have learned to accept myself as I am and be ok with it. Learning that success in life is an inside job and not an outside one starts to shift and change our priorities and allows us to be grateful for where we are in life.

Not what you're looking for?
