Do you ever feel like you can't go on?
Right now I don't really see the point in me existing at this moment.....I'm useless right now, I don't have anyone who I can talk to either......right now I alone, the only person I could talk to is gone, and I don't think that person is coming back.

I don't think I've ever actually had a friend in my life, just people who pretend to when it suits them Crying or Very sad

yeah, i do feel sometimes like i can't go on..i think we all do at some point..but i know having noone to talk to doesn't help Crying or Very sad ..know what i do lately Emma when i'm feeling really bummed out?..try to seek out someone i know who also could use a friend, someone to talk to, a ride somewhere..someone who is also struggling with some aspect of their life..and it helps me put my life in perspective..realizing that everyone has issues and problems to deal with at some point..and also makes me feel good helping someone else. For some bizarre reason, it's much easier for me to go out socially, to the drug store..coffee shop, whatever, when i feel it is for someone else, and not for myself..seems to distract me from my own issues Wink oh, and Emma, your 'oh bother' was so cute! reminds me of winnie the pooh Smile

I'd say the same. I'm very sorry, mate. Hope you get better soon.

It's hard to fix things like this. I recently started interviewing for graphic design jobs, and I recently quit searching. I've come to the conclusion that I just don't have the confidence to start a new job, nor start a new field since I don't have experience yet. I'm just demoting myself because I feel that there's no point in trying and then getting disappointed.

After each interview I'd come home so anxious and tell my husband that I"m not going to be good enough for any job and that I may as well not work. I have a job now and I'll continue working there, but for a while it was getting on my nerves and I thought I could do better. I realized after every interview that going back to my old job was comforting because it was familiar and comfortable for me. Maybe I'm weak, but I gave up.

The moral is that for a long time I kept going on interviews despite all of these feelings, and I did get a job. Unfortunately it didn't work out because they guy yelled at my on my third day of training for something so petty. I didn't feel comfortable working there if I had to walk on eggshells all the time. I'm still getting over that.

I hope you can try to realize the good that can come out of this. Being shy sux sometimes, but people of the opposite nature don't always have it as good as we think.
