Anyone else fed up and bored?

:evil:

This is how I feel today

im sat here anxiouse again and im not even sure why :roll: things have been getting better lately and im still anxiouse!

Fed up bored anxiouse..........lonely

understanding one's feelings

the journey for some of us to

1) understand what our feeling is ,

and

2) why we are having that feeling

and then

3) what is the healthy thing to do with such a feeling.....

IS THE JOURNEY OF LIFE.

Some people "repress" their feelings.

That is they decide NOT TO TALK ABOUT THEM and never to SHARE THEM.

In our western societies this is typical behavior. We learn it by watching our fathers.

And some women learn to do it by copying mothers who can't be open and honest.

Does this make sense ?

I feel the same myself. I long for excitement in my life. I feel that my life is one long meaningless slog.

That is how I grew up. I never learned how to express my true feelings. Maybe thats y I feel so lonely. Even when Im mad, jealous, or sad I don't know how to show it. Maybe thats why ppl get the wrong impression of me. Outside Im cold and calm, but inside Im scared and anxious.

Do you want to change....

ooSOULCRYo ?

yeah that sounds about right, my mum was never able to talk to me about emotions even though she was anxiouse too.

I hate her for it , she sees how unhappy i am and if i talk to her about it she just shuts off......thats why i have a huge wall around me and find it hard to let anyone in

still anxiouse, still fed up and still lonely

I don't feel like that everyday... but right now, I do. You know what I've been doing today? There was a photoshoot in my classroom arranged (to take our photos because of our school-leaving ball). Wow, that was something. I was trying to take it easy, but it nearly had me breakig down. There I was, infront of my classmates, wearing my Pippi Longstocking T-shirt, wearing my careless hair-do and no make-up, sitting on a chair with that awfully nice stylist telling me where to look... and I felt just... well, I guess ugly is the word. And nervous is too mild an expression for how I acted. And then, there I am going home after school and my classmate's telling me casually: "My, you were guite stressed at the photoshoot, weren't you?" That was when I realized just how readable I am. No matter how self-confident or cool or friendly or merry I am trying to act, I still do come across as a nervous, self-conscious and confusingly anxious little me. My classmates proceeded to celebrate the day in a pub. I proceeded (with a smile and "see you, have fun, sorry, I've got to go" to everyone) home.

And so here I am, sitting in my room. I am alone so I don't feel anxious anymore. I just feel fed up and disabled. Bored with my disability to function. Unable to exist in the same universe as all the other people. Locked out.

Ah well. I am thankful for the opportunity to write it all out. Don't read it.

same
upset bored n confused

I feel like the pin in the compass, spinning crazily out of control, not knowing my direction. Sometimes my body shakes, as if I cannot squeeze any more life out. Does anyone just ever sit and do nothing, kind of like going brain dead?

I'm tired of pretending to look for a job. Maybe I should just let them cut my job seeker's allowance. I don't know what to do anymore. I hate attending those appointments. I have another interview next Wednesday but I haven't made any proof that I've been job hunting. I don't know what to write in my CV. I've got nothing to say. I can't think...

I have been in the same situation as you, will be again in a couple of weeks. The last time I signed on, it must have been for 2 years. They never asked if I looked for a job, only occasionally. They are suppose to give you a job log, and until they do, if they ask where it is, tell them you did not receive one. If they ask what you’ve been up to job wise, tell they you look at the internet daily, checking out the listing on the job centre website, which are the same listings they post in the Job Centre themselves on the machines. In fact, going to the Job Centre is useless, because the slips you print from the machines give you the Job Centre Direct number, which you can phone at home. The Job Centre is redundant in my eyes for finding a job.

In my last interview I was told that I wasn't trying hard enough. She said I was supposed to write something for every day and the next time she sees me she will be expecting to see my booklet filled up completely. I jsut don't feel like going anymore, she made a really early morning appointment for my next interview. I'm afraid that if I don't go, I might get a phone call home and my parents would find out that they stopped paying me. I don't realyl care about getting the Job Seeker's Allowance anymore. I'm so tired of this.

You can only do so much job search. They’ve been pushed to be more aggressive with job seekers. The government wants to shift the blame on us. Remember this before you walk in to the job centre and say it to yourself “I don’t want to be here, and they don’t want me here either.”

i freuquently sit there and do nothing, and sometimes cover my ears but that's more likely because i'm slightly autistic.
and everything gets too much.
i feel useless because i can't read (books get blurry if i read them) so i always have to watch the film and then people ask me if i've read such and such and i just see the film and lie about having seen it.

i feel bored, depressed, lonely, anxious and i dont think i will ever feel any better

ive felt this way my whole life i think

Oops, didn't notice this was the UK forum, sorry.

EDIT

Re: understanding one's feelings

I get bored more often than i want to admit. But i'm not fed up, if you really want to live well you'll learn how to overcome it and not let it brIng you down

Shut up

Oh my god, I am so bored. I am always bored, never not bored. I sit here every single day of my life doing absolutely nothing, bored to death. It's driving me insane, and I feel like this is what I am going to have to do for so much longer, even though I always feel like I just can't take it anymore. My life is overpowered by boredom and nothingness, in fact that's all it is really. Ughhh. Sick of it.
