I wasn't originally going to tell anyone about this.
I've kept it completely secret for a couple of years (how long its been happening for) and as far as i know, my family does not know about it. Although i suspect a couple of them do.

To save reposting it i'll just give you the link to the original topic. Be sure to read the whole thing as it's only about 17 replies at last check. Not long.

Now you know.
 
Apparently i'm quite stressed (Mum read out a whole lot of physical and emotional symptoms of it and i have a fair few things she said) and these past four years i've drifted away from all my friends, kept adding to my student loan, stopped doing most of thie things i used to do all the time (i.e. gardening, bike-riding), created irregular eating times and buy the same sort of food each time every time, i don't get out of the house much anymore and i'm only happy when i'm on the internet or PS2.

Well, try going back to things you once did. Tell yourself you'll stay off the 'net all day, or not play with your PS2. Try it for two days, then a few more, etc. Re-visit your old friends; see what they are up to and see if what they do is worth doing.

I have no job, no friends (ones that i see every day or so anyway), no money, no car, no life basically, i'm getting really stressed out about finding a job and i'm having real difficulty with that because there are a few things i DO NOT want to do (i.e. work in a animal/fish processing place, work weekends or night shift) and not to mention the fact that i have no idea whatsoever what i want to do with my life. I'm just so confused/lost and that's not having a good effect on my health or moods.

You have to pick a job; sometimes it's the people you work with that make you enjoy the job...it's tough not to find an entry-level job that doens't require nights/weekends, but at least give yourself the option of one or the other. You'll have money, a car, a life (if you hang out with the people you work with...to a limit, of course) when you stick with it.

I seriously hate being angry but the last few weeks i've been getting worse and worse (90% of that with myself as i hate hurting peoples feelings) and besides counselling - which a few people have suggested - i don't know what to do.
Anger's natural, but sometimes you hurt feelings, and that's how people change if they are having a negative effect on you...maybe councelling might help; it's not the bigest deal in the world, but after a few sessions it probably couldn't hurt you.

I don't have all the answers, but I know there's almost always a job out there (if you like cars, then any service center or showroom ought to have some sort of position open), and there's lots to do with your life besides play GT3 and hang around here.

Every so often, I avoid doing both of those things for a week or two. The internet is supposed to detail life's experiences, and a video game mirros real life to an extent. But you have to participate in your own life to give it any meaning. Sitting on the side and wondering about what you could do is a mistake.
 
You sound normal to me. I think your problem is that you are analyzing yourself to an unhealthy extent. You sound a lot like me when I was in school.
 
Yeah, it sounds like something that you'll live through just fine – A little turbulence in life is healthy, and as long as you don't let it preoccupy you to the point of a breakdown, recovery shouldn't be too difficult. :)
 
Thanks for your advice people. :)

Can't really think of much to say at the moment but i have read all your suggestions. and thought/thinking about some of them. :cool:

Doing better today too.
