What are the changes going on your life?

I get that weird feeling that i don't like living in this planet. People who knows me wants me to change. I was a preppy good girl back then but things have changed. I started to wear something dark and I always felt depressed because of my past. I didn't want to be the bubbly nice girl anymore because I feel stupid when I think about that girl. Also I don't want to get along with people anymore. My family is so dysfunctional that I wished that I had a normal life. I don't want to change but I can if I want to.

Firstly, let me just say, I can relate to how your feeling. I've felt that way myself. And my family is also dysfunctional. So you're not alone there. But I think the main question here is, do you really want to change? Not just for the people who know you, but for yourself. I mean, you said it yourself, you could if you wanted to. And, if you don't mind me asking, are you still depressed about your past?

I, myself, recently started getting counseling to help me deal with things from my past that I hadn't come to terms with properly. Now I'm not saying you should do the same - it's just a possible option. I don't know your situation but it might help you. Then again, you have to do what you think will be best for you.

You'll always find support here, though, remember that. And if you ever want to talk, you can always message me. Sorry, I can't be of more help to you. :)

I don't think there's a single person who doesn't go through changes in the span of their lives.
Change can be a very good thing.

Change of scenery, change of occupation... both things that *can* turn a person's life around.

Most people want that they do not have.
I think if you cannot like what you have, you have to go after the things you think you do like.

I haven't had any significant change in my life for quite a while now. I haven't felt capable or found the right help to change. I feel that my life has shrunk, that I have dug myself a hole where I continue to shrivel up.

I started therapy in November and I feel like I'm becoming less tolerant of people. She wants me to stand up for myself a little more and I'm trying to but I feel like I'm becoming more rude than anything. I guess I need to find a balance but that's hard to achieve.

On the other end of the scale, I'm becoming less inclined to hang out with friends. I'm still doing it but I am finding it a lot harder to enjoy. That's a change I don't want.

2012 is going to be an interesting year. I don't really know what I want or what I'm doing and I wonder how long I can keep this life up. I have been contemplating a few things lately so we'll see how they pan out.
