Stress

2 months ago · 4 · Stress, +2


128

I have been dealing with a lot of stress lately. It feels as if the whole world is against me. I sometimes wonder why I am even here. Not in a suicidal way, but just because I don't know what to do with my life and do not know what direction I am going into. I want to be someone who has the tribe and tribulation to actually do things that everyone else can do, but I just find it difficult with what I am experiencing, as everyone is either going through the same thing or something different. It would be nice to find some kind of method to combat what I am going through. There is truly no way of knowing at this point.

    Feels like the whole world is against me nearly every other day. Life and stress are the same thing to me at this point. I don't know what type of stresses you are dealing with right now but I totally understand the perspective of not wanting to be here...and that too is not in a I want to die kind of way its a I feel like I have nothing to offer the world kinda way. Money worries are the crux of my stresses , I feel like all I can do on a daily basis is keep getting up and getting out there to pay my bills. Some days I really hate my fucking job, other days something will happen at my job where I think, huh I'm glad I made a small difference to that specific person. I try not to dwell on the thoughts about how crap I feel my life turned out, I try to dwell on the thoughts of, at least I have a job that is always going to be in need where I can make money when I need to, at least I have a roof over my head that I can call mine. Sometimes as hard as it is each day, you have to make yourself dwell on the what small silver lining there is in your life...and there has to be something, no matter how small? I'm not gonna pretend and say things will be OK. I don't even know if things for me will be OK but what I will say is just take it a day at a time, and each day do something FOR YOU that makes you feel some kind of comfort?

      I try not to dwell on the things that I am dealing with, but I do. I am grateful that I have always had a house over my head, food to eat and clothes to wear. I never try to be ungrateful. You never have to worry about what other people say. Dwelling on certain thoughts are not what you want to do at any point. There isn't really anything that you can say to make people comfortable, it is just that initial thought that you can potentially have to help someone to get the right help in terms of making their mental health better. I always say "whatever makes you comfortable." That's always the basic thing to say, but I do care.
