Finding support is so difficult

11 Replies

I've got a meeting soon, and I'm attending it alone and I just need support even from a stranger to tell me everything is going to be okay, because I don't feel strong no more... for my girlfriend for my parents for my family. I just feel a edge with everything.

I dont know what your meeting is but i pray that it will go well for you. there are many relaxation tapes on utube. you could type guided meditation into google and im sure it would come up with something to help you to relax and take the edge of. Do you have any kind of faith or belief. I often pray and that gives me strength, I wish you well im glad that you came to the forum as you will recieve support here. most people will probaby be in bed at this time. Have you thought of going to see your doctor to talk over what is happening in your life as im sure that would help to. in the short term try using one of the meditations. i hope that you get a good nights sleep.Try not to worry. god bless you lukeeminnis. love grace xoxoxo

I've been out of therapy for months now... which I probably shouldn't have, but meeting is about getting back into therapy and making sure I'm keeping track on medication... Thankyou for your comment, and I do try YouTube for mediations, I really appreciate your help and yes I go to a spiritualist church with my mum every week. I can talk to spirits and I'm developing on it so I guess that's a start to a new success... god bless you and your supportive comment! Thankyou Grace! Xo

You will be fine. You will rely on that inner strength that is deep inside and can be drawn upon when needed. Let your mind go back to other successful times and be at peace with yourself. Don't over think the situation, just let it be. Pam

Hello Luke, yes I'm a stranger but an oldish one which inevitably means a fair bit of experience of life. Enough to tell you that almost everything in life ,including meetings , usually goes much better when you get to it than one imagines before hand. One can imagine that things will go wrong in so many ways but it almost always never happens. Very rarely something will not go perfectly, but even then its usually something different from anything we've imagined before hand.

So any worries before a meeting ,or any other event are a complete waste of time. Better spend that time preparing what you can for the meeting, not over preparing and worrying.

Still ,like me you're human , and its difficult not to think about the meeting before hand, but you should always aim at doing what preparation you can and then forgetting about it until the meeting. Easier said than done but always aim at this and you will get better at it.

Hello, a stranger or not.. you've helped me.. and your a kind caring stranger who should be proud. Thank you for your support in your comment it means a lot. And you're right meetings and that often turn out better than what people think, but I guess it's anxiety and nerves that just kick in and make the situation seem daunting ... especially me having autism makes the situation a hell lot worst... I guess if the meeting is there to help me and not make me feel worst then what's the problem I guess? Thanks for the comment!

You are going to fine, we all think the worse things are going to happen, get ourselves in to a right state for nothing because its always ok.. so you stand tall , hold your head up high and stay positive..
