ummmmm I'm new to this so I'm not really sure what i'm doing.... I guess ive come here because maybe someone out there can relate and I wont feel like an idiot when I explain it. (I have a psychologist and she is great I just feel like a loon sometimes).
So basically, what I've been telling myself is that I feel the grief of all those lives before me I have lived caught up with me at present, like every lover, mother, father, son, daughter and friend I have ever had in past lives and the grief of losing them has struck me now. I guess it is just my own little fantasy for explaining how I feel.
In short, I feel this intense grief and sadness inside me that I personally feel is unwarranted, the only family member I have had die is my nan, and she died when I was younger so I did not know her too well.
I personally struggle with other things including depression, anxiety, family issue (father with multiple mental disabilities, borderline personality disorder, manic depression, bipolar, learning disabilities etc. who does not live with me) who has used me as an emotional punching bad, possible sexual abuse when I was younger, mother and pop (one of my best friends) struggling with grief and depression, I am more emotionally mature than those my age (high school) so I often feel disconnected, like a 10 year old going to kindergarten and a thirst to travel and make a life for myself filled with mystery and adventure that at times seems to just weigh me down.
I crave love and passion and thrill and I seem to be stuck in the mill of highschool, day in day out doing the same thing talking to the same people
Sometimes I cry myself to sleep, sometimes I have horrible dreams about family members dying.
I am grieving people who are not yet gone, sometimes I think of my mum or pop an cry at the thought of having to live a life without them.
idk I just needed to rant somewhere, to whomever reads this/ or reads this far,
thankyou, and do you ever feel the same way, did you ever feel this way, how did you cope with it?

Hello justhereforachat123
Welcome to the forums and good on you for posting! You havent ranted at all..
I used to feel the same way in my 20's and it is a miserable feeling of hopelessness. I understand where you are coming from. Being over sensitised (anxiety) can result in our thoughts becoming 'sad' and the feeling of grieving you have been experiencing.
You have been through a lot with your upbringing as well.
The changes in hormones you are experiencing at your age wouldnt be helping you either right now.
Can I ask you if you have seen your GP or even a school counsellor to help? I would strongly suggest you do to help you cope and adjust to the changes happening in your life. Have you been diagnosed with anxiety/depression?
The forums are a judgement free & safe place with many kind people that can be here for you.
It would be great if you could post back and let us know your thoughts. Please excuse my questions......Im just trying to help you more effectively 🙂
I hope your day is good to you
my kind thoughts for you
Paul

hello paul,
i do have problems with my hormones, haha i wont include details but so far the GP's i have seen have not really done anything about it, they want me to wait until i am older.
i have talked to my psychologist about it, we gave it a name and a character so i could visualise it in my head and "vanquish" it of sorts i guess hahaha.
i have recently talk to them and we are/have been employing ways of coping with it.
i have been diagnosed with depression and genralised anxiety.
I appreciate your kind words and interest,
regards,

Its always nice to get a response justhere and thanks 🙂
Heaps of people here with depression and generalised anxiety too
Your thread topic is an important one and well written too
It would be great if you choose to stick around...there are a lot of young (and older) people that would benefit from the knowledge you have (only if you wish of course)
my best
Paul
