I am often misunderstood

My anxiety gets the best of me sometimes

I have a difficult time expressing how I feel to others, so they’re often confused with what l am trying to say which annoys the hell out of me

I hate being anxious all the time and not knowing what exactly triggers me to prevent it from happening all the time

i am stressed

I have no one to vent to and when I try to open up, no one listens or even care

There’s so much more I need to vent but I am soooo tired

People never did understand my pain. All the years I tried reaching out as well

as explaining to deaf ears. Did they not care or not understand the emotional

suffering I was going through. I finally withdrew into myself .Through determination and patience, I got where I needed to be by myself and alone.

Finding understanding and support can be a difficult thing. Now there is a place to

come where people care. This community is a blessing that came a little late for me.

May it help you through your darkness nights and days. Never will you be alone again :) xx

Sometimes I withdraw because I am misunderstood a little too much to where it causes friction. So, I find that not speaking at all is the only option for me. Don’t speak…. No problems

I just started a new job and I’m not even done with training, but so far people are find the littlest things to have a problem with me about. They misunderstand things I say and accuse me of lying, they talk about me all the time. If I make an error no matter how small it is, they write it down on my evaluation. They take things I say and twist it. It makes me feel picked on.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this at your new job. It can be incredibly stressful to feel like you're being singled out and misunderstood. Maybe just Document these situations just in case. When you receive feedback or criticism, ask for specific examples and clarification. Try not to respond from an emotional state, that can sometimes make things worse. Starting a new job can be challenging, and sometimes it takes time to find your footing and build positive relationships. Hang in there! ❤️

Good afternoon my panda friend....Can I make a suggestion to you.....get a notebook or a journal.....and write down your feelings each day....if nothing else doing this will help you gather your thoughts about certain things....write things such as what is causing your anxiety....what you did to combat it...things like that....or basically whatever your feeling and what event made you feel that way.....you don't have to share it with anybody if you don't want to but that's the best way I've found to help get my feelings across..as i am not good at verbalizing my worries either....

thank you. That sounds like a great idea. I just downloaded a journal app. I’ll put it to use

If nothing else it will show you "where you've been" where you are....and where you need to go....i'm struggling with that right now....I'm just hoping that the next 13 days go well for me....and then a new chapter will start...well it has already started....but I'm ready to finalize this current chapter that has spanned 26+ years......

it doesn't always work for me....time, or lack thereof, is always an issue with me. I need about 30 hours in a day to get everything done that I need/want to...right now it's a very dull boring work, go to emt school, eat, sleep repeat cycle...hoping that things calm down soon
