Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. 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...
I have spent all day studying. I am studying for an exam to help me get a license. With that license, I am supposed to get a job and move out of my parents' basement.
The problem is, I don't think I can pass.
And even if I do pass, I'm not guaranteed a job.
And if I don't get the job, I don't see how I can move out.
I could go back to school for another degree. But then if I get the wrong degree I could waste my time and not find a job and be left in more debt than I am now with no way to pay it back. Even if I get a good degree I'm not guaranteed a job, especially if I don't have years of experience in the field. I can't get experience without jobs. I can't get jobs without the right experience.
It's a vicious cycle I've been in for years. I can't make anything work. To me it feels like there's no point in trying. I'm not guaranteed anything, so why try? Especially when the only consistency in my life is failure. At least if I kill myself I'll be successful at one thing instead of trying over and over again and failing each time. Even my mother makes fun of how much I fail at life, and she encourages my brother to make fun of me, too. I don't have support, and I don't have any sure bets of anything. Everything feels like such a long shot for such little rewards. There just seems to be no point in trying anything anymore.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.
More esoterics, I know, but. . .
Gentle support while you decide how much of the world you want to see for yourself.
Just because they say or do does NOT make it your problem.
Stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself three good things you are, every single day. Practice smiling and standing confident in yourself until it is comfortable. Use this to reset your thinking "I can do this."
Change how you think about you and keep going. Do not quit. You are stronger than you realize!
Best wishes!
I agree with arfie that no one is guarentee'd anything. We all have to risk - we all have doubts and we all have to reach out beyond our zones to deal. From reading your post and arfie's response you make me look at my own sheepishness with regarding life... my life.. and how I can talk myself out of trying.. BUT WE MUST!! :) keep trying, keep trying... life challenges us and we have to keep on keepin' on. Thanks for writing this post!! Sending good wishes!!
