What to do when you have no one to confide in?

Question

Over the past few years my life has seriously gone down hill. I have so much potential but through bad luck and me being stupid I have ruined it all. I would go talk to a councler but I have no money to do so. Im not a religious person so please don't suguest anything to do with that. I don't know what to do. I feel like my life is a bad movie that I'm ready to walk out on.

Answer 1

Maybe its time to start over. Move and get a new job. Meet knew people, make new friends. Open your eyes to the world around you or even a new world. Find the beauty in it. Look deep inside yourself, and figure out if there are any chances of getting back up that hill...

Answer 2

In sympathy

Answer 3

you sound a bit like me in away...people say there are your friends, but when it comes down to this type of situation they don't know how to cope..... all they want to do is follow others...

what kind of abilties do you have, knowledge of,, try finding something to do, some courses or something....you'd be surprised at the people who have probably gone through the same thing as you, and they could help at the same time as you do something your good at....

Answer 4

Confide in yourself.

Poetry or journal writing helps many people vent emotion. Maybe give that a try.

Answer 5

Talk to us!  

No seriously, do you have medical insurance? If so then you can go to your doctor and if you tell him your feelings he has to, by law, give you a referral for a mental health professional. It won't cost you as this should be covered by your medical insurance. If you don't have any, try contacting your local department of health. They have a behavioral health section and they are a government agency. Should be little or no cost to you.

Answer 8

John F-  You are not alone buddy!  It's all about energy and how much you want things to change for you. You gotta believ in yourself.   there is no such thing as luck, in the usual sense that most of us grew up with.  Luck is Laboring Under Correct Knowledge, and when we consider that there is a universe where there are many potential outcomes for us, we can do this, LUCK thing.  We just need to allow ourselves to believe that things can be different.  If we look at life as the following formula, Events + a Response = An Outcome (E+R=O), an outcome...not a success, not a failure...only a result...an outcome without any labels attached, then we got something going here.  If we like the outcome, then we got something going on that makes us feel good, positive, better than before, something we can build on.  However, if we don't like the Outcome, if it makes us feel bad, negative, less than, or worse than before, then we just need to take some action here.  We then just need to go back and look at what parts of the equation that we can have an impact on, and whammo...you got something you can do about it.  You can change the event, or you can change the response you make.  Then you will always, always, always have a different outcome.  G'LUCK!   For more info on this go to www.mindbridge-loa.com.  Those pages are the result of a change in my own LUCK, and I grew up with nothing, and now it doesn't matter.  If I can change my equation, you can do it too.  Why?  Because you are me, and I am You.  In La'Kech, that's a Mayan word for the idea that whatever I do to you, I do to myself and visa versa.  Read Ultimate Power, by Anthony Robbins.

Answer 12

i felt like that last week , cant you talk to a good friend or a relative?  theres always a way....what do you need to do about it?

Answer 13

i know how your feeling buddy. life can get you down sometimes but it always comes back up again! confide within yourself if you have no one else. you are your own best friend. another suggestion i can make is try writing your emotions down on paper or type them up. If your having a really c**p day, let your emotions out, focusing them away from you. i know it sounds corny and all but you should feel heaps better! I'm not sure what country you live in but where i live, in Australia, we have free counselling hotlines, so maybe look into something like that. but remember mate, most importantly, that you cant bottle things up. Let it all out on paper and im sure you will feel heaps better. By reading over what you are writing, you may even see options you thought you never had. If that makes sense... for example: your sister has an argument with you over something stupid... maybe by writing the whole story, you can see the other side of it. Im not sure if this is making much sense, but i wish you all the best. i know what it feels like when your life comes to a sudden halt. But trust me, things always sort themselves out.. in the end. Have faith in yourself and take care.
