Oh man, I can pretty much relate to everything you just described. I just came home from graduate school abroad, and since I've been back I've felt pretty lost. I feel like I spent the last year and a half working; and when not working, wasting my time on drinking and other addictions (computer included), rather than making new friends and experiences. I mean yeah I did things, and I made a few friends (drinking buddies), but I feel like it was kinda a waste. Now that I'm home I feel disconnected from my "old" friends and can't relate to them at all; on top of that, I'm in the process of trying to find a new job, which is stressing me out.
But I couldn't agree more with the advice your giving, life is an adventure, not a burden; and when things seem bad then its an opportunity to switch things up a bit. Stay moving, and stay motivated.
This was kinda the first touch into some of the more personal details. A test the waters if you will. I've battled all kinds of issues from drug addiction. To depression to just hating myself. But it's the only life we got to live so I try sharing my bad choices and screw ups along the way in hopes I'm a positive influence on ar least one person
Same here, alcohol, drugs, depression, relationship problems, the whole 9. Sometimes its just helpful to know that others have been through similar experiences. I think sharing can help others make better choices, but it can also be a form of catharsis as well.
I find it a way theraputic. It gets the thoughts into a way I can see them and analyze what I'm thinking. That really helps me too.
