I think I'm a despicable person. I see people around me achieving their goals and I sit here in front of my screen feeling happy for them yet dying inside. I see people around me moving forward to reach their goals and I'm stuck here asking why can't I be that? Why am I stuck here, unmoving, restlessly and desperately trying to crawl my way out but without hope. I don't like feeling this way, it's petty. Why is my best not good enough? Why is my best not recognized? Why am I so impatient? I'm sorry for feeling this way. You prolly don't know I feel this way... but still, I'm sorry.

Starry Night
I pulled into my driveway. I drive at least an hour to get home from work. I typically need that time to sort of decompress after stressful days at the hospital...
So why are you sitting there stuck? Are your goals realistic? Are you taking the needed step? Something you're doing isn't getting you where you want to go. What's getting in your way?
ReplyHello whoever you are try not to be other. You used to see people around you achieving their goals enjoying their own life. This completely mean you are not focusing on yourself. You are not living your own life because you are focusing on other's life. Friend live your own life, live it for yourself, do the things that makes you happy.
Replyi agree with Breathless1234. i have felt like that for a long while. that is why your post caught my attention. I was tired of feeling like that and tried to find a way to not let it get into me. i started just this year. i stopped checking too much facebook or any social media sights that shows too much of what others are doing. i know its a cowards way out but still, baby steps. when i do go on fb i just fill my news feeds of other pages like cooking, crafts and other things. Im also trying to count my blessings everyday now too from the breath that i still take every waking moment to the smallest and biggest blessing. i try to do what i can and what makes me happy even if its in a small way. i dont have friends to spend time with since they are far now in their life but i applied to work and try to live each day surrounding myself with new acquintances and people and family. were the same ive been so impatient before that i want to like be successful already cause my future plans is a must. but too much impatience leads to depression and pressure. take a time to sit back and dont rush on things and live your life and be proud of the achievements you make no matter how big or little it is. dont let them get to you and count the blessings you have each day and be thankful.
ReplyThank you. I needed to hear this. Actually, I've been unemployed for a while now and haven't been lucky with my job search. Yeah, I get interviews and final interviews but it ends there. Somehow that makes me lose the little confidence I have in me. I feel like I'm going nowhere and the pressure is is really taking a toll on me in ways no one prolly understand unless they've been throun anxiety and depression. But, I'm still trying. I hope my luck would return soon, I've got bills to pay. Thank you so much for the advice. I appreciate it a lot.
Replyyour welcome. and yeah i have experienced that too and it does shave some of your confidence and then you would wonder what you did wrong or that if your just much of a failure as a person thats why you dont get the job then you will feel the building pressure each time your not accepted. it helped on my part that i can open to my mom about this but still sometimes its not enough you know. so what i did is i became tired of it. and decided that i made this far again in life, im a survivor so im gunna keep on standing up no matter how many times im knocked down and just do my best. if its not for me then fine. somethings much better and suitable for me out there. you may think what im saying is just flowery words but yes ive done this and picked myself up each time. depression does sucks its true. there are days when i get also tired of fighting that i would wonder if i die then everything would be okay right? right?... no. i remember one time i have watched a short video that got into me. his words are. " if you were to die, can you say that you are proud of the life that you have lived?" . so when when days like when im depressed i just think, am i proud of the life ive lived? have i done my goals and lived life to the fullest. and i always take time to think and... no im not done yet. so i try to keep on living again. the advice i can give to you based on my experience is to not let your self let you down and the things your experiencing to keep you from trying again. although its like an exaggerated for other people (dont listen to their opinions if it cant gain anything good from it) but try feeding yourself good things or good vibes. not joke, but every morning what i do when i wake up (since i have insecurities issue too) i look in the mirror and smile my best smile and say aww im so cuteee. (my values teacher in highschool told us that beginning with good vibes will lift your spirit up) or compliment myself for every good work done(even the smallest cause its count haters gunna hate man). so yeah try to feed yourself good vibes each day and compliment your self for every good work done or cheer yourself if you have mistakes just think .. its gunna be okay learn from this!. just dont let yourself down or when negative thought gets in counter it no matter what . dont ever stop. life your life and keep on surviving your gone this far dont let circumstances cut you from your goals and not let you be proud of the life and things youve done. have a great day i do hope i can be of help to you. :)
