Two impatients in a row? Impatients for what?
Well, for me, I was impatient at the time because I had a date tonight and the time before I could leave seemed to be going by really slow. >>
How are you feeling?

- Start date

Interesting Twiggles I've been having the very same thoughts myself recently. I'm striving to reach a goal and then doubt creeps in and I think ' Oh have I been unrealistic , maybe I can't do this' I don't know if that's exactly what you mean but I guess doubt and worry are the same.
Anyway today I thought....does it make any difference if I worry and doubt myself or not?
And I realised no. No it doesn't, at least it doesn't help the positive outcome, only the negative. And if I don't doubt myself? Well, I don't lose anything by not doubting. I think if I believe in myself a bit more I can do a bit more.
It all sounds so obvious and yet.....it really was an epiphany to me hahaha
well I hope whatever worries you gives your head some peace
Hello Jewel
Well, as it happens, I woke up this morning and saw an e-mail and in the content was the main worry of mine solved there and then. I'm only briefly on the computer before work and this has given my day which I was dreading a great start. I won't go into too many details but... last Summer I was really down and miserable about a lot of things. A couple of those worries looked like they may be on the verge of repeat over the last few weeks but this time round I've been more positive and less anxious. In the past I've always had this superstitious belief that I have to worry about things, and that if they don't, it'll all go wrong to serve me right for being so sure. It's not a good way to be and almost always ends up in me feeling terrible. My paranoia turns the most minor of things into a full blown hassle.
So, this time round I just had a little faith that I'm stronger now and that will all be okay in the end. I seldom allowed myself to worry about these things and now I've finally got a little bit of evidence to show me that I don't have to worry, and that my superstition isn't right. I guess all this sounds stupid without describing the exact situation but to me this is a big thing in my recovery from anxiety. Worry and paranoia has been what has taken over much too much of my life so far and I'm finally beginning to feel as though I'm starting to defeat it. (Maybe. I'd be too frightened of saying anything that might hex that :
.The point is, it's as you say - worries and doubts won't affect the final outcome. There is no such superstition involved, like the one I believed so much. Sometimes you just have to say, 'I'm doing the best I can' and throw caution to the wind, get on with other things and keep busy before any such worries consume you.
I'm glad you had that epiphany Jewel
It's not easy to get out of the mindset of trying to think less negatively. In fact, it's very, very hard.Anyway, this is probably one big ramble written after 4 hours sleep. I m'apologise haha. Happy Tuesday everybody x

Very well put twiggles! You've inspired me, given me something to think about.I'm so glad this worked out for you! I am going to give this some thought, it really is a very interesting concept. I will go off and think it through and come back about this.

I am feeling like I want to crawl into a hole and die. I hate myself. I hate that I don't have any control over things and how I have nothing going for me. I have no direction, no purpose, no life. No one here cares about me. I have no one. I am so alone.

Thank you guys
This is the first real time I've forced myself to push my paranoia aside long-term and told it to shut up whilst continuing to live life as normal. Last Summer these worries had me sat in silence feeling sick and crying lots.. I'm sure I'll still get paranoid from time to time, and I'm certain that it won't end in good news every time, but it just feels good to think that for once it didn't get the better of me, and know that I don't need to worry about something in order for it to be okay. 'Take that bridge when we come to it' and all that jazz.I'd be interested to know the results of your thinking, Jewel
I think that if you've thought, 'I can achieve that' when identifying your goal, then you can achieve it. Your instinct told you so, don't listen to the monsters that appear en-route telling you you can't do it or that it won't happen, because those monsters don't really have any say in the matter whatsoever, all they do is make you feel unnecessarily down. Plus, just because something doesn't work out at the first attempt, doesn't mean it won't at the second!I completely missed this post first thing this morning - the very biggest of congratulations to you, SuFlu! That's fantastic news!

Im trying to be optimistic, I went for an interview today for flight servicing and when the personnel manager found out I was finishing as a mechanic he wanted me much more to work for them as a technician around all the machinery that are used around the planes like fueling and all that, and they are not even hiring for that position and yet still he said he would look closely on my application.
I hope I'll get either servicing or as mechanic there
