What's the point

do you ever wonder?
i feel like i suck at my job. like nothing i do is good enough. i work with kids with behavioral and emotional problems. and sometimes i think i need more help than they do. i live with the family i work for, but i have my own seperate space, bathroom, kitchen and my own entrance. this family is mega-neat.(not one of my strong points) and lately i have been having a pretty hard time emotionally. and i havent done laundry in a while. so there are clothes on my floor. not a big deal to me. but apparently a very big one to them. i just havent had time. i sleep everytime i am up here, because i cant function. i just cant do it anymore. i feel like i need a break. a long one. sometimes i just want to fall asleep and never wake up.
i dont like conflict, i internalize it and them magic scars end up all over my body. i just cant cope. and i feel like i dont have anyone to talk to. my parents dont know and are in another state. i just moved a few months ago so i dont have any friends here, and all my friends from where i used to live, sont know what im going through. i mean its not like its easy to tell them. hey im crazy. wow thats such a great conversation to have. a real good way to lose people. and i dont feel like i have enough friends to start losing them .
i just dont think i can take it anymore. i feel like i am losing control. i like to be in control, i need to feel like i can fix things. ad i dont know why i cant fix this.
i like being alone, but my thoughts wonder, and my doctors says its unhealthy
i just want to escape it all

Re: What's the point

welcome sd

There are many people here that will listen to you. You can tell the boards anything. Get it off your chest, you do not need to self distruct, no one will judge you here, We all have our secrets. Talk to the board and a new world opens up, it did for me. I was in your shoes 4 weeks ago. I got a lot of advise and a lot of straight forward answeres, some I did not want to hear but needed to. You are not alone!

Re: What's the point

Dear SD:

The point of life (and don't share this with too many others) is to be able to rise above adversity and know that in doing so, there are many more storms to weather.

The point is that we are all here for a purpose and some of us don't even realize that.

The point is in realizing birth we must one day realize death and not necessarily our own.

The point is that the more we ask why, the less answers we are going to get.

The point is that love albeit sweet, does not last ..................................

unless you want it to.

I could go on for pages but I believe that you get the just of it.

Whatever force brought you to this boar, know that you are here and were destined to be here; welcome to our family.

The family that agrees to disagree on occasion, the family that can cry together and dare I say love together, for there are varying degrees of love that one individual can have for another.

They posess the ability to care about you when you do not.

We have the empathizers and the sympathizers here and some are a special breed of both.

The point my new friend is that you are right here, right now and just know that advice is but a few keystrokes away.

Take care
God Bless
Ryan

Re: What's the point

Ok so im gonna go line by line here, i cant comprehend all at once and my brain is to scattered to respond all at once. please excuse my rudeness, and sometimes my judgement, and lack of understanding, its been a tough week

The point of life (and don't share this with too many others) is to be able to rise above adversity and know that in doing so, there are many more storms to weather.
ok but what happens when you cant "weather the storms" i have fought through so much, and honestly dont have the strength to do anymore. and this is not a "woe is me" situation. i know plenty of people that have it worse than i do. but apparently they are just stronger than i am. i guess ive just given up i cant do it anymore.

The point is that we are all here for a purpose and some of us don't even realize that.
yeah the point of my life. not really sure there is one. well maybe to sleep, or to wake up and be a ***** with a capital B. i cant go through a day without feeling like i want to strangle somebody. or myself for that matter.

The point is that the more we ask why, the less answers we are going to get.
but for all questions there should be an answer. i need an answer, its just who i am

i dont mean to complain, or make it sound like i dont want the advise, i just need to question and i need answers. im not trying to make it sound like im so much worse off, becasue i am probably not. im just having a hard time

Dear SD:

No offense taken.

You say that you can't weather the storms.
You don't have the strength

but yet you found something inside of you that brings you here.

You could have chosen not to come here(and i'm glad you did) but you did.
There is strength in choices also.

Despite your depressed mood you still made it here; accept it as destiny.
Here, at this pint in time, you were meant to be here, with us.
I say "us" because none of us can do this alone.
We all come here with the commonality of PTSD but also have other attributes that we bring to the table.
No person is an island here.

It may be difficult to get your bearings now but remember back when that you learned to crawl and then run?
If you need our insight (which i find to be invaluable) we are right here.

Question if you need to but remember that even we collectively do not have all the answers. It is through the "collective conscious" that we help each other.
Some of us have been there, done that and have yet to "do that."

The point of your life:

You responded to our post and personally, that helped me; to know that you are struggling and yet find enough energy to want to yield a better quality of living.

You are not a nobody and if you felt that, please refrain from thinking this way because you have posted here and you are now part of your family:

you are somebody.....that matters.

When I said the more we ask why, the less answers we will get

I meant it metaphorically; just like a person would ask "why did this have to happen to me and not someone else?"

You may be having a hard time right now but there is sunshine behind that dark cloud and you have the ability to move it.

Let us help you towards seeing that...................please.

I'm reminded of that lotto slogan "you've got to be in it to win it."

Well "you've got to refuse it to lose it."

We really want to help but you have to take that first step.

Take care
God Bless
Ryan
