I don't expect anyone to read this or care at all. I just need to say everything that is on my mind and I have no one that I feel like I can talk to this about. Not like the internet is better, but you understand.
I have this daily struggle with school, my family, drugs, my love life, and myself.
With finals coming up in 3 weeks, school is getting me really stressed out. I have 5 projects due by next Wednesday and while I can get it done, I'm already stressed out all of the time so that just sucks. I have to work a few days a week which is fun because I work with a few friends and it's a relaxing fun time and I can smoke all of the cigarettes in the world (I usually can't smoke much at home). Then there's the family. Next year I'll be moving out and my parents still think they can control my life. They are setting themselves up to be very disappointed because they restrict my social life so much that once college rolls around, I'm going to get burned out after 1 year. I can't help but think everyday about how mad it makes me that I don't get any respect. I am a good student, a good person and all that jazz but get treated like I am some criminal.
Now there's the girlfriend. We've been dating 6 months which is the longest I've ever dated anyone and I think I love her, at least I say that I do. But I think she had expectations that we are going to get married and I can't think about that now. having the same girlfriend all the way through high school and college is just going to hold me back from really getting out there. I have no idea what to do because I'm very happy with her, but it won't work out that we get married. What a scary thought.
The most intense two are drugs and myself. Sense I am so restricted by my parents, I don't really party a lot or go out and get folded every weekend. But I still get out there. The two main things in my life are weed and acid. and I love feeling wanted for having something that people want. I am a very recluse antisocial person and to have people call me to hang out feels amazing. but all I can think about is getting these two things. I constantly worry and battle myself about how I will get $40 when I am broke. I hate it. My mind is wired very weird and once I get excited about something I can't let it go for a couple days or even a couple weeks. Which explains why I'm up at 1:27 writing this. I can't sleep. My brain is so obsessed with everything going on in my life that I can't even sleep. It just doesn't have an off switch. I'll sleep 3 hours and then just be awake motionless in bed for 4 hours until my alarm clock goes off and then the start of a repeating day.
The probably the biggest problem though is how I view myself. I can escape everything else, even if it's just for 1 hour a day but I am constantly analyzing myself.
I am just starting to hang out with people for the first time in 2 years. I would hang out with people every now and then but not as much as now. and I love being with people! It's the best. but those two years alone made me very self judging. I always see what is wrong with me and why people don't like me. and at this point it's because I don't have any skills to socialize. This whole hanging out this has been going on for 2 months or so and when a new person joins the regular group, I don't talk at all because I have no idea what to say. I struggle to actually talk. I stutter and get anxious when I talk to people because I don't even know how to. It's really depressing.

I have no idea where I'm going with my life. I don't have any ideas about college or a job afterwards, I am going to end up just leaving before the year is up because of my bitchy family, my girlfriend... well fuck, I don't even know what to do there., this drug thing, I am going to get in really fucking deep and it's going to be hard to dig out myself and become the person I really am because I am so deep into doing drugs. I can easily see myself becoming some acid head or a heroin addict and I don't plan on doing a damn thing about it. I know that will happen and I don't even care.

If anyone actually reads this whole post, I will personally come and find you and give you a hug haha
I don't expect anyone to reply to this or understand, I just need somewhere to release my stress where people can hear my full thoughts. There aren't those kind of people in my life.
Well to whoever reads this, I really hope you have great day. Take care of yourself and don't think to much about anything. You'll lose yourself and find no way out.
Love you, Ben<3
 
--->tds. Always remember that no matter how bad things get they too shall pass. And maybe you should lay off the weed and acid for a while see how things go.
 
I am. With exams coming up I'm stopping so I can keep everything together for that. and then christmas break which i can just do whatever haha finally things are getting better, actually
 
You have a lot going on in your life so its understandable that you're feeling stressed. You need to be careful that you don't let it build until you crash (have a breakdown). You need to look into stress management, and what you can do to unwind and relieve yourself of the pressure & thoughts. Quitting the weed is a good one, I wouldn't suggest any meds as they often cause more problems. Look up some sites that specialise in dealing with stress.
 
hey man, fuck reading that whole thing was kind of like reading a story about myself - i used to be pretty 'anti-social' and stuff and i really did love hanging out with people (i know what your talking about having people call you to hang out feeling good ;))

ive stopped fucking with weed because during uni it was real fun and stuff but it started causing anxiety problems and that shit is hard to deal with..sounds like your having some anxiety problems that are somewhat related to what mine stemmed from (stress from school, self-analytical thoughts)...what really helps me though is just focusing on how much of a level headed person i actually am, give yourself some thoughts to focus on good aspects of you...as for the social aspect - its hard to do it but honestly man, just dont give a fuck...if a person doesnt like me for who i am then fuck it...people like you and i deal with enough shit as it is that whatever some random thinks shouldnt be worth a second thought...this was the hardest thing to do though and im still working on it ;)

I feel like i came to a point in my life where i realized all this pent up worry was just kind of holding me back, i think about how my acid trip made me realize some real important things (loved ones first, enjoy life because you dont know what happens after we die)...I would hate to live life in that constant state of worry that ive kind of struggled out of and that you are currently working out of..man in the end the shit will pass and believe me..its really about how you perceive things...if your girlfriends holding you back from enjoying what you feel like is possible then man - cut it off...if shes more than that - appreciate her for what she is and how she feels..

in the end its really up to you to make life what you want it to be <--- as cliche as that kind of sounds, its really true...good luck to you man, its real reassuring that other people are kind of in the same situation

much love and take care
 
fuck im so sick of reading people say itll pass. it wont. i think by age 30 ill be dead. im hoping. im a terrible person and a trash waste can for everyone......no reply or quotation marks needed for this one, im ugly, lost my bf, lost my family, and lost myself. fuck every single one of these comments LAME advice.8)
 
^^ On the contrary, there has actually been some good advice in this thread from people who have been in the same situation as the OP.
B&O I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch at the moment, but I remember when you were posting in TDS a few months ago saying that things were going well and you were feeling better. Now I know things have changed for you a bit now but life goes in cycles and I firmly believe you will feel happier again soon.


louisvillemusicman, it sounds like you've got a lot on your plate at the moment and as badandwicked said, it's pretty understandable that you're feeling overwhelmed and confused. I think the main thing that you absolutely must realise and remember, is that whatever happens in the next 2, 3, 5 or even 10 years is NOT the be-all-and-end-all of your life!! No matter how much pressure your parents try to put on you to succeed at absolutely everything as soon as possible, if that seems like too much of a feat right now, just take a step back and remind yourself that this is your life. A lifetime is a LONG time and there is plenty of time to achieve all your goals.
As for worrying about what's going to happen with your girlfriend, have you actually spoken to her about what she wants for your future?? She might possibly have the same concerns as you do, about going to college and feeling restricted in a relationship etc. You never know until you sit down with her and specifically discuss it.

Try not to stress so much about the future. I know that's easier said than done sometimes but like you said, you're a good person and I'm sure you'll work hard towards your goals. But don't forget to keep a healthy balance of hard work AND fun :)

I hope that helps...

I was not happy when was I happy some fucking cunt used me to dig up dirt on me earlier to gossip....at a academy......fucking bitch.......i hate every queer in this city yea I DO. Smoke crystal meth, thinks they got huge dicks and when u see it you frown and laugh no size queen joke, insecure, liars, theifs.......fuck all that shit. happiness is 6 feet deep and in a wooden box
 
your gonna let small dicked, insecure, lying thieves get the best of you? i dont know your situation at-fucking-all but it sounds to me like you got fucked.

there are always choices that you have to further your life - is this situation going to determine the rest of your life till your 6 feet under along with your happiness that went back with it however many years ago?

if it means currently moving out of your city? why the fuck not? - you seem pretty hardset on things not changing...if thats the way you want your life to be (as easy as it is for me to say) well then have fun with that..

If that was directed towards me, I have no idea how that is suppose to help me. While I'm not going to get pissy about it everyone else's advice is absolutely great. I feel a lot better knowing that other people have been where I am now.
Things are getting better. If I do what it is that I need to in school and at home and stuff then everything goes a lot better

I haven't smoked bud in over a week and I wasn't expecting things to get instantly better from that but it is helping a lot because I don't have to worry about that stress. :D
 
HAHAHA no man - that was definitely not directed to you (although the post 4 posts above that one was)...

but word..good hearing shits getting better, and nice thinking cutting back on the bizzud

If ONLY you knew what it felt like to be a nobody everyday. Having a life full of regrets, confusion, anger, and hate (towards me, but not always from me). Life has been hell. I woke up this morning and I couldn't even fucking walk. I feel useless most days. Did I truly mean what I said last night? NO. Did you just disrespect me in every way you could? Yes. Bite it you scum...
 
:(

i wasn't trying to disrespect you in anyway whatsoever - i was simply trying to point out other options you had in order to better your situation...i apologize for being blunt but i meant nothing other than to throw whatever 2 cents i had towards your situation..anyways fuck it, my bad...i hope in some way things will get better for you

I am really glad to hear this man :)
A lot of people underestimate the effect pot can have on our brain. I know for 100% cetainty that pot makes me depressed for the 3-4 days after I smoke it, so I try to avoid it altogether now.
I hope things continue to get better for you. Keep us updated :) <3
