It’s been so long since I’ve published anything on here, but I need somewhere to let my feelings out and write, whether anyone reads this or not it’s going to help me.
Theoretically I should be happy and content with everything, I have sufficient grades, the best group of friends, the most amazing boyfriend and so much exciting stuff impending, but I’m just not. Recently I have become so demotivated, with school work in particular but also just my general outlook on everything. Constantly questioning, and thinking what’s the point? I have this constant feeling of upset and worry that won’t go away, it’s always imminent and always reminding me it’s there.
The same thing happened a couple of years ago, I finally got out of a really dark place and my concern is I’m going back there. Obviously there are times when I’m laughing with my friends or occupied when momentarily everything is perfect, but then it comes back. I don’t know who to turn to for help, not wanting to worry my mum further.
It’s hard to put into words the way I feel, it’s almost as though somehow my brain curates the way I think in a negatvige way, blocking out anything positive. And anything positive which does arise, gets twisted and put in a negative light, perhaps for instance thinking about the worst possible outcome of something and thus worrying myself. I worry a lot, stress too. I put myself under too much pressure to achieve, I’m my own worst critic, and that’s what’s so frustrating is the extent of stress and worry I feel is so self inflicted. But I can’t stop it, and when I don’t live up to my ridiculously high expectations I feel horrendous and doubt myself.
I don’t really know where I’m going with this I just kind of needed to blurt out evething in my head, to feel as though I’ve spoke to someone, that’s all for now.
