Having stupid panic attack. It came on as soon as I got home. Adrenalin overload is making everything weird & feel like I'm not really here
( Read more... )
I just feel really angry with myself - like I should have been able to cope with all this & I have failed somehow.
A lot of us suffer from this 'disease' ie being harder on ourselves than we are on others. You haven't failed, you just feel like you have. Although the last time I had time out was after I finished my degree I feel constantly like I need a break, but I won't take it cos I'll feel like a failure. And on top of that I feel like a failure cos I haven't got on with my life, career etc more. I feel like a knob because of it all - but to look at it from an outsider's perspective it isn't too shabby.
The problem is that it isn't as easy as being able to look in from the outside, it's about liking yourself and being comfortable with yourself. If you work out how to do this, then let me know :-)
*Definitely* put yourself first more. You're ace! And at the end of the day, you're the only person you can always trust to look out for you. Don't let yourself down :)
You are in a stressfull situation, and i think you are doing remarkably. look after yourself, and that's very important. After all, if your general feeling in life is that you should help others, you need to be in a strong situation to do that, you can be a rock to others if you're not looking after yourself.

Good.
This may not make me popular with certain people
Shame.
...but to be honest I couldn't give a fuck.
Ah, you've got that covered. Excellent.
The time has come for me to start looking out for myself for once.
Good for you. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help... if you just want to meet up for a chat / cup of tea, etc., whatever.
I'll be slightly less busy shortly...
