Boring rant

I need to rant, sorry everyone who reads this.


So, I don't want to talk much, I hate myself, I hate my life. I love people and people don't give a ****. I'm frustrated, medication-dependant, SP, AvPD, depression and agoraphobia. Everyday has been going worse and worse for more than a year already so everyday I'm even more depressed. I've been trying lots and lots of things to get better. I tried to look at things more positively, talk to people in and outside the internet, including girls my age (which used to be difficult), started therapy, I'm going to a psychologist, a psychiatrist, another psychiatrist from uni, and group therapy, I'm taking medication, tried to do things I never did before, all so I could get better. Learned that I could be able to make friendships and even developed feelings once, and even dared to express them. I refound inspiration for writing poems and paying music.

That looks like I had been improving, right? Well, I've never felt so alone, I lost all I got, now I can barely go out of the house, I get anxiety attacks every week, I can't focus in studies because I feel anxious whenever I try to study and even worse when I try to do homework because I am unable to do it, my brain doesn't work well, I feel useless so I get anxious. I feel like no one wants to do anything with me, it's almost always me the one who has to do something first, the first approach, so I can get human contact. I even feel that I annoy everyone I talk to, I feel hated, people ignore me, there is always something better to do than being with me. I suck at everything, there is nothing I can do properly anymore. I'm a big fat loser who only complains and complains, and make the same mistakes again and again. But I need to rant. If at least I could learn from my own mistakes, but I'm too stupid or something.

I'm extremely exhausted, I've never been so tired. I'm made so much effort in life since I started feeling bad that I can't do anything anymore. I feel heavy, I can barely move or talk, I have no energy to do anything, I lost my will. I'm lost and I can't help myself, but I'm alone. Always alone. I want to give up. I tried to commit suicide last Friday night. Took the excuse of St. Patrick's Day (because I'm lame like that) so I could get drunk, with pathetic results. I mixed the alcohol with lorazepam but I only ended up drunk. Alone at home, dark night, drunk as **** and wanting to die, but I guess I didn't took enough pills. I just wanted to make the world a little better, as I can only seem to make it worse. I can't even do that. Next day I felt awful and still I tried to do homework. As usual I started feeling anxious, but I got a panic attack and its effects lasted more than 2 entire hours. My eyes hurt of so many tears I drop, I cannot take this **** anymore. I've had always very poor self esteem and no confidence, I always hated my looks and still do. I've had a lot of people making fun of me again. I have long hair and full beard because I haven't felt the energy to do anything about it, plus I want to hide my face from the world. I never go out unless I have to, and I skip way too many classes. Haven't been out since last Wednesday but today I had an exam, so I had to shower, get dressed and get out. When I came back (ignoring the fact that I could barely study and probably didn't do too well) a couple of cops stopped me. Apparently I look like some criminal (they didnt want to tell me what did he do) from a near city and tomorrow morning I have to go to the court for a lineup. I could sit next to a murderer or something, who knwos. I know it's nothing important, I'm just there because I resemble someone, but I'm just really exhausted and it was the last thing I needed.


I didn't mean to write so much, sorry if anyone did actually read it, and at the same time thanks for taking the time in doing so. (Actually I feel like I need to say much more, but I'm just too tired, maybe another day).

I wish I could say something great here. I got nothin'.

But you aren't alone. I guess I'm telling you that because sometimes it helps me to know i'm not the only one feeling bad things.

And I happen to like you with a bit of a beard and longer hair...not a scary beard, just a short one. It doesn't hide your face...it highlights you:)

Thank you. I know I'm not the only one who feels like this. Thanks for the reply and your nice words.

It's possible your seeking out too much treatment. Try to stay busy talking about other stuff. I'm not trying to be mean but you shouldn't try to focus on what's wrong with you constantly. As for anxiety try to imagine everyone as a baby, just thought of it randomly, and it helps me sometimes.

The same thing occurred to me when I read your post, Jones. Sometimes when we bite off more than we can chew we experience a backlash that is difficult to recover from. But you will manage it. Just try to relax and let the dust settle for a while, and know that new doors will open for you in the future.

^My exact thoughts too. Sometimes people get very desperate at their lowest point. But you need to relax - don't be too hard on yourself. Love yourself and learn to appreciate your own accompany. You're still young, you have plenty of time.

I put a lot of effort in this because I didn't want to keep living like this, but maybe you're right and I should just relax, I don't know. Thanks for the replies.
 
Yeah man, seems too much too fast maybe.

Slow, easy going steps.

Btw, I really need to know where this melancholy town is. I don't ****in smile either.

Key word here is "used."

So you admit you're getting better at this. That's a good start. That's improvement right there, even if you don't think so.

I always hated my looks and still do.
I will never understand this. You have me beat by a country mile with your Spanish handsomeness.

I kind of agree with LazyHermitCrab. Maybe you're trying too hard to seek help, when you need to just relax and think about what you truly want to achieve with the therapy you're getting. There is a way out but you just don't see it yet.

I'm sorry you tried to kill yourself. Please talk to me before you try anything like that, okay? ::(:

I just don't want to keep living like I used to, just ignoring the problims, keeping my mind busy. Nothing will change if I don't do something about it.

I know what I want from therapy, I want to be able to do what I want, what makes me happy. I know what I want from life and I also know that I won't ever be the person I want to be.

Now I just want to give up, I can't handle the simplest things in life anymore. I'm too tired to fight. I'm tired of being creepy, of failure and of... everything. I don't want to live like this and all the changes I tried didn't work. I want to go to sleep and never wake up. I want to make this world a little better, and since I give nothing to it but bad things, I don't deserve to be here. I'm not dead yet because I'm a failure, but afterall we all die sooner or later, I just want it to be sooner.

I wish I had the magic words to make you not think this way. ::(:

Oh gosh!!

MrJones, did you tell your therapist/s all this?? Please tell them asap!
Some meds can cause or make worse suicidal tendencies too!! Have you had any changes in dosages/meds? Maybe your dose would need to be adjusted (slowly!) or to change meds?
There are support forums for people withdrawing, so if your therapist suggests or has suggested anything like that, make sure to find info and help!!

Sorry to hear you've been feeling miserable - you've really done A LOT - maybe give yourself some credit & accept 'magic change' usually doesn't happen overnight - Rome wasn't built in a day either??!!

It's Spring outside - new starts everywhere - it can make people more 'romantic' or what? So, the longing and 'loneliness' may be 'natural' - you're a young man... Some are lucky enough to meet love early (and may get divorced/split up soon then!!), some only later in life - and love may be more lasting then... Some of my relatives married at 30+ or 40+... You still have A LOT of time to experience wonderful things!!

Exam time can be stressful - hope things go well! If not, there will be other exam times too!! (I used to fret over exams and that's what other more experienced students told me!)

Your rant wasn't boring!! It's a legitimate rant and ohh anyone'd probably be scared if stopped like that??
PS Sorry but I just had to laugh when reading about it - it just seemed so bizarre!! To be stopped out of nowhere, after all those troubles?? And see? even your rants can be amusing (it probably doesn't help to hear that but ha!) Something like a James Bond movie??

We totally adore you here on the forums and would miss you A LOT!!! So please take care & hope things get better!!

My therapist couldn't attend me last Monday (when we usually meet) but I'll see her tomorrow in group therapy (I'll go talk to her before the session starts). I'll see her again next Monday too. I will talk about it.

I know change won't come all of a sudden, but I feel I'm going backwards, and full speed.

I'm a classic romantic, I guess I want to live in a fairy tale that will never happen and so I can't live in such a sad world like this. My view of the world is often seen as immature, like I know nothing. Maybe I don't, but I still want to believe love is not dead, though too many people have been trying really hard to prove me wrong. I just don't expect anything anymore, maybe that's why I don't find a reason to live.

So! I thought that if this new trimester I start in a couple of weeks goes as bad as this one I'm ending (my classmate having to do almost all the work and me going anxious whenever I try to study and even worse when I'm doing homework (got an anxiety attack almost every morning for the class I had in which I couldn't do anything at all so I got frustrated and anxious), etc) I could try a big change in my life, as leaving the next year free, go travel around the world, as I have some money saved, then go back to uni and finish the last year OR, depeding on what I find during my travels, something else.

BUT my parents didn't like the idea so much.... dad said if I can't go to uni I need to find a job.... problem is I can't function properly, I need a break :( They don't understand this issues... Anwyay, if I can't go to uni or find a job, I'll be homeless :/

Hang in there Mr. Jones. I cried when I read your post, I've been there. Don't know what to say in response that might help, but I listened. I for one don't think the world would be better without you. You seem like a good bloke to me.

hm, better homeless and alive, than the other options??

can you find information what is offered to homeless people in your country/city? (or elsewhere?)
it helped me to find out the options and 'if worst got to worst' scenarios... (and appreciate my parents more yikes) it can also be good to know how long the money would last you, in your country or elsewhere... it's always good to have some savings, 'just in case'!!

It's good you have a classmate that helped!! :)

Can you just travel in the holidays (at first)? Maybe it would be big enough break?
Sometimes even a week or a few days somewhere else can be really good!!
Maybe some trips in close-by countries?

Could you go on a student exchange? Like Erasmus or Leonardo da Vinci program or such? (A few months in another European country? Or a summer school?) Maybe you could ask about the options?
(There may be some paperwork, but some people really had fun on student exchanges!!)

And/OR try a part-time job in the summer, see what it could be like?

I heard 'Amazing' by Aerosmith on the radio - do you know this song? (the video is slightly distracting tho so I won't post it) anyway I really like that song and liked it when it first came out too!!
Know that other people have been through similar things & survived!! (and that's what the song says basically too!!)
