Graduated from college! Started your career job!
Those are TREMENDOUS accomplishments and I hope you're proud of them...you should see what I'VE been up to in the last 2 years. Police, paramedics, mental hospitals - okay let's not go into that.Shakespeare said (I love this quote, I'm always whipping it out) that our troubles come not one by one, but in battalions. And Lord if that isn't the truth. I don't know why life insists on throwing everything at you at once, it just works that way for maybe some spiritual or cosmic reason we aren't aware of. No I'm not drinking, it's not noon yet.
You might want to get a tape by Wayne Dyer, he has some interesting and calming theories on why things work the way they do. I was fortunate enough to run into a televised lecture of his on TV one day when I really, really needed it... was alternately sulking and crying and panicking over my impending divorce, just a wreck. But after listening for awhile I thought, this Wayne Dyer really has a clue. I was able to calm down and be quiet inside - maybe not peaceful, but quiet is good.
Anyway, the most important thing is that you ARE
getting professional help, you ARE trying to figure out what's going on in your mind, you ARE
doing more than quietly self-destructing like SOMEBODY I know did for a VERY long time without asking for help - her name starts with a G.Welcome to the board, there are wonderful supportive people here.
