I just feel like my life is a mess. When I was in high school I was the perfect girl everywhere, good student, daughter, girlfriend, religious but I was so shy I can barely make friends, express my feelings or stand up on class to say something because anxiety always beside me. I went college, and at that time I was on therapy and I noticed that I have always been who everybody wanted me to be. So, in my second year of college when I broke up with my boyfriend I just turned the otherwise. I become irresponsible, rebel, alcoholic and feel so confused about who I am & what I want, but always in silence, smilling like everything was ok. I was trying to show up everybody I can have every guy I wanted just because I thinked they will see me like a strong, intelligent, beautiful and beautiful person, even I felt the other way.
I ended college feeling guilty about my grades and so scared of what was coming next. I messed up on my graduation party I was so drunk I can’t remember almost anything, all I know is i was crying and yelling at my mother and obviously all my friends saw that.
I graduated college almost a year ago (may 2013) and until today I haven´t find a job because I’m not motivated and also I´m scared of failing, of not being enough . I feel so unhappy, I spend all day long on my home and I can see my life passing by in front of me, its so sad I feel so powerless.
I´m tired of searching a way to overcome this, I tried therapy, yoga, books, I almost changed of career when I was in college (to psychology) just to find a way out of this mess. I feel so ashamed of what I have done, I feel worthless, sad. I´m always so anxious of talking about my feelings I have never told anybody about this, and sometimes I feel lonely I just want a hug, but even that I can ask for.

There’s nothing wrong with learning from past experiences. You need to focus on the present and not so much on the past. I know that’s not the easiest thing to do but if you want to escape the sadness, find an activity you enjoy or exercise to get your mind off things and that may help you become more motivated. The only way to find inner peace is to accept life for the way it is. That means you need to accept who you were before and who you are now. Be proud that you are now addressing these feelings. That’s the first step in anything. 🙂
February 13, 2014 at 7:12 pm #50963AlejandraParticipantThank you for taking the time to read and answer me. Your guidance has been helpful, so I will stop searching for ways to overcome this and focus on the present. I have been struggling with accepting me for years but I hope things will get better in the future because its now my first goal. 🙂
