General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Why is it that once you leave home... its never the same again....
I moved into my grandparents home 10 years ago, ( I'm 25 now). My grandfather who has been my father for the past 10 years has passed away a couple of weeks ago... Makes me think of how precious life is... he so wanted to live.
I spent the last 2 years of my life taking care of my grandfather who died of prostate cancer, I put so many things on hold, and now that I'm back in California, ready to finish what I have to to start a residency program... I am filled with sooo much anxiety. What if I can't do it, what if I fail...
I didn't spend my teenage years partying, or just hanging out. I spent them with my grandparents and studying. I am ashamed to admit it but I'm afraid. there is a whole world out there I haven't been exposed to ( YES, I am soo embarrassed, being 25 and still as naive as one can be.... ) I can be outspoken but most of the time I am shy, which is really ironic becuase I'm happiest when I'm around people.
anyway, I feel really stupid writing all this down, but maybe writing this and having people (that exist at this very moment I do) tell me I'm not alone, its okay.. would make me feel a whole lot better...
Thank you..

yesday I was walking the same block I've walked for a year. I walked pass the German Shepards house and he came out the door of the fence and went straight for my yorkies neck. I went into Mama bear mode jumped on the back of the German Shepard all 100 pounds of me and wrestled with a German Shepard that weighs more than me. When I jumped on him like a horses back. I had dish gloves on and...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
You say you are 25 and naive but what you have learned will help you through life. you are still so very young and have plenty of time to learn about the world out there..and now is that time to do it. You can do it...you will not fail...
Saying a prayer for you.
One of the reasons you may be feeling anxious about this new adventure is because you know that your grandfather isn't there to catch you if you fall. But you have already shown how strong you are by taking care of him when he needed you, not everyone can step up to something like that- even tho you may not have even thought about it twice before doing it. Don't be embarassed about your age, there really are a lot of people who get a late start at things in life. Finally, don't ever feel stupid about writing about how you feel, especially here because a lot of us know how you feel and you are truly not alone. We are always here for you to "talk" to. I hope this helps and I am very sorry for your loss - I felt the same way when my mom died and I was 36! So if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know...hugs jilly
