I think that if you can just allow yourself to let go of that feeling, you'll find you are a lot happier for it. After all, we are all our own worst enemies. If we can stop mentally torturing ourselves about what we have or are missing out on, it totally changes things.
I would say that one of, if not my biggest problem, is an inability to let go of the past. I always find myself thinking back to all through all my years in terms of 'jesus christ, isn't that a hell of a long time to never have a proper girlfriend?' I'll be overwhelmed with either sadness or self-directed anger when I think about all this time as one great big missed opportunity. By contrast, if you're only ever living in the moment, then you'll rarely find anything to get upset about- not that I'm in any way saying this is desirable or feasible, but you get my point.
It's nothing new but it's still very true (rhyme intended 8) )- there's just no point agonising about the past. keep the good stuff; don't try and erase the bad stuff, but just don't worry about it.
good post mate get this all the time as well, ive got younger brothers and seeing them going out to clubs holidays with there mates and just enjoying themselves really gets to me. i found that i think about my past to much far to much i then start to think what might have been and then snap im back in reality and compare what might have been with the situation im in now, this more then most other things makes me depressed i just feel like im wasting my life a spectator with no control, im a prisoner in my own mind a fucking slave to my emotions.IcarusUnderWater2 said:Does anyone get that feeling that you have missed out on so much and you just feel overwhelmed by sadness?
Its like i think about how everyone has been having fun for years... but i haven't even started. It is also accompanied by thoughts that everyone my age is having fun right this second.
I get this multiple times per day. It actually makes me feel so depressed and sick.
The way i relieve the stress is by imagining myself fitting in to a group and partying... these thoughts make me happy. But then reality strikes and i realise i would never be able to fit in and have fun... or atleast thats how it seems. I also remember that i am an F'ing loner. The kind of person people make jokes about.
Sometimes i don't know whether to laugh or cry!
