i'm scared of myself

Back when there was a Jeeves, I asked "what is wrong with me?"

I didn't get a useful answer. :tongue:

Go ahead and comment, if you like.

--

You know what, here's my secret.

I don't give a damn anymore. I just...don't. About nearly everything - the obvious (family, friends, TMN, finding things that will make my life meaningful and successful, etc) excepted.

The moment I stopped Giving A Damn about where I was going to be in 10 years, what I was going to do after tomorrow, and about relationships / popularity and the lack thereof, life improved. It got better. Much better. The less I weighed myself down with expectations, the better and happier I felt. Life isn't foreordained and I left a lot of it to chance. Some of it's been shitty, some of it's been great. But I don't regret letting go of all the expectations that I and other people put on myself.

I also noticed when I did that, a lot of the heretofore 'missing' puzzle peices fell into place. I've got a good set of friends, I'm partnered, I'm healthier than I was and I'm more willing to do the Hard Work and tackle the important issues that come up for me.

There is a lot of freedom in letting go. There is a lot of freedom in saying that you want to live by your own terms. But this doesn't mean that you have to take Everything Seriously, or believe that one thing or all things or all chances are going to have some sort of a climactic impact on your life and how things go. Things that seem really huge right now are probably going to be a raindrop in a bucket a day, weeks, months, or even years from now.

Another secret: Don't take yourself seriously. Give yourself enough rope to do as you please. Self-importance isn't the world's greatest attribute in the universe - while it's important to be serious and take things seriously - do it only when it needs to be, and deep down, you're going to know when to and when not to fuck that Serious Business things up. But give yourself a chance to find your natural equilibrium, and find humour in things, and in your life and your endeavours. This is not to say - again - to treat everything as if it's a game / not terribly serious - because there's gonna be them situations where you've gotta step up and be serious and do things the Serious Business way, but on the whole, don't take yourself seriously. Make the best you can out of it. No apologies, no regrets, no excuses, to quote Queer as Folk.

We all do what we have to do to survive. Cut yourself some slack.
there is, in the end, the letting go.

It's the only way I feel worthy of having friends...
The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don’t hear so well.
Well, you’re gonna have to curse him, well you’re gonna have to yell.
The sky and I, we’ve had our fights and I’m coming round to rain,
Well, if the rain come round and it don’t come out, then I’ll never have to speak again,
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.


If Heaven is as Heaven does then this is Hell for sure...

I'm afraid his parents hate me already and they haven't even met me.I would kill myself if I wasn't so scared of going to hell.Everytime I get into a relationship, I start to hate myself all over again.I'm never gonna be better.I'm never gonna amount to anything.I can feel my GAD getting a grip on me again.I want to die.

Comments fine.

I'm scared that the meds will stop working. I'm scared that I'll have to take them for the rest of my life. I'm scared that even now the things are still in my head. I'm scared that I'll never be normal.

I wish something would go right for you, not only for you to be happy but so I'm not constantly worrying when something goes wrong.
