Been feeling like shit lately

Jono · February 25, 2018, 02:05:09 AM

These past couple of days I have been hit with the sudden feeling of loneliness, been stressed out over nothing, having difficulty sleeping, and also not enjoying anything I do like playing games or watching movies. It's been awhile that I've felt like this, not since after high school when I was at the lowest part of my life and had nothing going for myself.

It doesn't make sense to me because since then I've been more successful and have more than I could ask for. Hopefully this is just something that will pass like it has before.

Been there. If you’ve been drinking: stop.

I don't drink alcohol and I don't plan on doing so

Same, tho I just kinda live with it. It usually gets worse around night when I start thinking and remember things I didn't know I remembered. I don't sleep much more than 4 hours at a time, and wake up regularly throughout the night. It is what it is, I spose

tbh 2018 has been a living hell for me. Very painful, both physically and mentally.

And everyone around me seems to be having terrible luck as well.

You have to will it to pass. Change things up, doing something new and interesting. If you wait for bad feelings to pass you're just going to become comfortable with them, and then eventually one day you'll wake up depressed because you fostered a depressed psyche out of habit.

it's never too late to break the cycle. my advice still stands. if you wanna sit around and wallow in self pity, thats your prerogotive. but all youre doing is wasting time until you eventually learn the hard way what i've already laid out here.
