I am having a rough time in general, I feel so horrible when i get snippy or sarcastic with my mom and apology so deeply when i do. getting off my anti depressant and learning to control my emotions as an adult, and caring for my mom the best i can as she financially supports me with a home to live in, and i am the one who gets aggravated at her at times.
I got my younger brother on my back about getting a job and he just doesn't understand that I just can't walk out the door and go get a job after years of being unemployed. An more over i have so many issues and hang ups about dealing with customers, and interacting with people in general, that i just dont want any shmuck job like i use to have growing up. More over my brother owns his own gym, but i can bet you 100-1 he wouldnt hire me for hell or high water, yet only sees me as a giant mooch and that hurts deeply, and so does my older sister.
I am terrified about going to the unemployment center to get help to look for work because i fear all they have are manual labor jobs, and i have bum knee, and a hernia now, and i can't really be doing the heavy jobs like i use to.
I am slowly trying to lose weight, I have i think a decent idea for getting back into college.... An i struggle so hard to meet good people that i want to be around. I feel like such an outcast, and i lost my youth , i lost i feel like everything and i feel like my life is just done and over, yet i keep i guess pretending that i still got a shot at making things right.
I am so aggravated after years of being on an anti depressant, it really didn't make my life that much better. An why be on a medication or any that doesn't work. Exactly how many medication variants am I to try before i say enough is enough. 2 , 10 ?
I Keep telling myself i have a lot of good in me, and i just don't believe it, i keep telling myself i need to have better self esteem and believe in myself but i just don't,
bleh.
i made it through the night, tried calling my sister this morning, she didn't pick up, not surprised.
Don't know if this one can be fixed, still feel worthless, called doc to get back on anti depressant medication that apt is monday, got enough to get through till then... im not going to make it though in general. but i have to keep trying for my mom.
been a long painful day of regret, i reached out to her an she ignored me, so now all i can do is wait for her to heal up enough to hopefully accept my apology, and i hope she does soon so our mother can see her grandson.
I am over all a terrible and worthless person.
i dont want to do this anymore.
@originalscreenname
I just read this entire post, you aren't worthless, it's just your life and the people around you don't seem to flow together you know? It seems like trying to mix oil and water when I was reading and I just thought that it is amazing of you to reach out to anyone for help on this. It may not seem like it but things will get better for you I promise, if not then feel free to slap me or something.
well i found out through my mom that my sister isn't read to talk to me yet, and i don't blame her.
it has been an entire day since the incident, and i still feel horrible, all i can do is hope an pray that in time things get better. I appreciate the replies, and very true that some people just don't mix, that is for sure with my brother and older sister, and they are coming back to visit for like two weeks or so, an it will be taxing on me to keep things together emotionally, my younger sis n i, we use to get along really well, an i could usually tolerate her bs, an things were just poorly timed over all......
I keep trying to believe that my life will get better.
It just feels really useless though.
@originalscreenname everything will be better as u hope, and as the time goes i believe that ur sister will calm down n ready to have a talk with you. Don't be drawn of ur guilty, everybody make mistake and it is fine as u have known what u did .. don't stop hoping, your life will be better
at what point, as an adult do people say okay my depression and anxiety is now a real disability ?
I feel i am coming to that point. I can no longer handle the stress of regular things it seems and i loath and have anxiety to a plethora of issues.
I have taken a pyschological test on my own dime at one point and it is still on file, i think this could be helpful as evidence as to a disability but i wonder if there are more tests that i can take to help build a case for me.
I don't think i can do this on my own anymore and need some kind of safety net to just know i am going to survive with some sort of respectable comfort. An i dunno.
@originalscreenname wel, i am sorry u r having a really hard time that u even consider it as a disability, you are having a hard time and multiple of problem and it make u stress too much, don't blame everything on you as it is not only you who is taking the responsibility, share ur burdun togethers and u can find listener to help u out, as i qm a teen listener, i cannot talk to an adult you, there is a lot of listenes who is willing to help you here, so don't feel like u r living this world alone
Ty for your concern cyci, i'd love to be a teenager again just so i didn't have so much responsibilty now as an adult, friggin life slips by so damnd fast it is insane.
as for people to talk to, psychologists, other adults, not many can relate, and not many can handle the heap of turmoil i feel constantly. Let alone motivate me enough to change my life the way it needs to go.
anyhow
just general entry now,
still no word from my sister. an i might have burned a bridge with out trying and it might take years to rebuild which i mean at this point in time i dunno how nor feel like i got it in me to even try or care anymore. I can't spend the rest of my life apologizing and begging for forgiveness. But i probably will i do just that in so many other ways.
I did try contacting a law firm via email, in regards to disability, i just don't see how my anxiety and depression can lessen to a degree that will allow me to not be so paralyzed by the idea alone of having to face people in a work environment, the conflicts that ensue from work places be it manual labor or other wise, it is too much to even think about that i shut it out.
It is kind of coming to the point of, exactly how bad off do i have to be to get help, do i literally have to get the to the point of not being able to care for myself or worse ?
An i keep holding on to hope for what.
incase anyone is keeping tabs on me, me an my sis are all patched up now. It was painful going through that and I ended up screwing myself up more mentally over it.
I am looking into disability for depression, as i am not functioning anymore in life, i have basically given up looking for work, i gave up hope for a better life an i am just doing the best i can to stay alive. Back on my medication, but it is sad that i have to stay on it. I wanted to be whole again but i have so many issues.
i think ima have to take an anxiety pill soon cause i feel myself getting jacked up.
i am thinking about asking my dad to purchase a tread mill for me my mom would be able to get use out of it as well, i hate walking in my neighborhood now, too many memories come flooding back when i do and it isn't the same as when i was a kid.
@originalscreenname i am glad for you ne that u and ur sis is doing good now, well, you are right being adult and thise responsibility is hard, but when u are an adult it means u r ready to fight on, but remember nobody can fight on their own, we all need company and we are all here to walk together, facing everything together, so i would love to know and here more from you ☺☺ am here to support you even just fron the forum hehhe😊😃☺😉☺
I need help. Is there anyway I can listen to teens instead of adults? How do I change that? I feel I can't relate as well to adults. AND is it okay to deny personal requests?? Please help
@Mick4m88
Hi. I think the best thing to do is message one of the other listeners or moderaters and ask them for advice on what to do next as im not sure this is the right place for your question. You could always open another thread somewhere more appropriate to ask advice too.

ty for keeping tabs on me cyci it's just nice to know someone out there is interested , and i can related to you relating to older people, most of the people in my life i get along with better are those in their 50s'60s realy ( real life that is ) meaning i would be comfortable talking to and listening too ( IRL ) not so much hanging out with as friends but still in all.
online i am like what ever, which can be dangerous cause i end up with friendships sometimes that are questionable and then i end up going great now i gota let this person go.
anyhow.........
oh so another update, i did look into a disabilty claim and i go in for a consultation Free ( woo hoo something free to do !~ ) next week, so should be interesting, it will be nice to get out of the house for a while anyhow.
Things still hurt. An the pain never really goes away it just comes n goes an i take the rest from it all when i can and move when things dont hurt.
My problem is how to function in a working atmosphere where I don't fall to pieces when someone belittles me, or get so offended i want to fly off the handle at a bad manager.
@originalscreenname woah, it should be hard to get along to 50s and 60s but when u r getting along with them, it means you are amazing😉 well, you get a point of going out from house and that is really what you needed☺ i hope you will enjoy it and have a great feeling for it . pain take time to be cured, even it comes and goes, remember that the older pain is curing at the moment and it is going to be healed :)
my doc suggested to write a book on my experiences... i think he has a decent thought.... but how to put it together,
i have been through a lot, from childhood, through my time in the army, through recently 6 months in a monastery, to now and i don't know what to make of my life anymore or think of it. I do know that my opinions on the Church would aggravate those hardlined with the Church, but i figure why sugar coat anything anymore....
I am not too hot to trot to write a book at the moment but it is making me think, and i just can't see who can benefit from my story in general or what.
@originalscreenname you know u r making a book right now, u wrote everything u feel here even thag it is a forum, but everything start from a small little step. And am proud of you, as ypu are really strong to get through of anything, you have done so well. Well, you can keep writing what you have experienced here, and if life get tougher and tougher, remember there is a lot of listener who can help you n if u believe in God, there is Him to turn to ☺
Well, i don't really understand what u mean about the church one, sorry .. but i really love to know you even more
when i mentioned the Church i was referencing the Roman Catholic Church.
I had actually lived in a Catholic monastery for about 6mnths and left after seeing how things really were there. One would think such an experience would be really uplifting, but after about a month i realized it wasn't a good monastery, that coupled with my experiences as a life long Catholic, i think i can offer a more honest opinion of an actual encounter in faith is like and those struggles, versus those clergy, religious, theologians and church militants who tow a very hard headed die hard view that their self righteous views and opinions are the only ones that matter in regards to faith.
Any how.
maybe this is turning into a book,,, something i can copy or rather insert as a link to go to this website to read more about my life if i compose a hard paper book.
my anxiety is shooting all over sometimes.... Today was an interesting day at the grocery store, a guy in his early to mid 40s chased down some employee who must have been twice as young as he was, cursing him, calling him a home wrecker an said he slept with his wife, yelling all this as loud as he could, causing a scene... it sounds funny , but was rather intimidating at the time as the guy was obviously itching for a fight and had the younger kid not have ran into the area behind the store for emplyoees he might have had a real problem. But the guy who was screaming really just made himself look like a fool, and it is sad over all. The most i did was alert the store manager who was just as baffled as the customers on what to do ( even after i said he might want to call the police as said guy is threatening his employee ) .
over all, i am not doing well. I go in for a counseling session next week in regards to disabilty , if i have enough tax credits will be the issue i think, though i have worked off an on all my life since i was a teenager. I just do not feel mentally stable anymore and i need to try and protect myself for the future and continue to provide support for my mom the best i can while i can and am still able.
Back to the book thing, i could break my life up into separate books, i think i could easily write a small book or make one book into say 20 chapters, 5 chapters just on my time in the military. anyhow
venting is over.
@originalscreenname that would be a great idea to have a book with 20 chapter that is so cool. And from ur story about u live in monastery, i realize that we can't just judge something by what we think and see , and i would love to read ur book if i have a chance to read it and about the doctor, everything will go well, u know everybody need help n support, even you and me, and i hope u can get the best support from everyone around you<( ̄︶ ̄)> []~( ̄▽ ̄)~*
