haven't had relationship and always in work mode Posted: 02-22-08 02:25am
Hi all, call me TJ - everyone does . I'm 20 nearly 21.
Basically for the last erm, year or so,
i've been on and off depression that
lasting me a couple days or a couple of
weeks.
The main form of depression is that i
havnt had a relationship in a very long
time, since i was 14 or so what wasnt
really one...
I go out with all my mates and all i see
is them picking up girls left right and
centre, im doing the same thing but
yeah...i dunno - im confident, attractive
and a very nice person.
Anyway, thats not the only problem.
Combine that with stressfulness of work. I
work in retail as one of the managers, and
it gets very stressful for orders,
customer complaints and all that.
Maybe also i havnt had a holiday within 1
year aswell, other than the 3 day long
weekends here and there...
Am i thinking and pushing myself too much?
I go home and i can't relax, im still in
work mode, and always thinking about what
life will bring in a relationship and the
future.
I try and relax by going to the gym,
playing sport (soccer indoor and out) and
go to social events and all that with
friends. But then the whole process starts
all over again with all my mates happy
with there relationships...dosnt help that
they keep rubbing it in when cuddling with
eachother infront of me...i dunno!!! :*(
Thx guys!

Great! Time for a holiday you lucky thing Posted: 02-26-08 11:04am
seriously - take a break TJ.
I have been in your situation. So i
decided to take matters into my own hands.
Drew a line under how i was feeling -
cleaned my house from top to bottom the
day before i left (so lovely to come back
to - no dirt from the 'prevous life' and
took a holiday!
I didn't worry about going on my own - it
was the best thing i ever did, very
liberating. And i looked great when i got
back - which attracted some attention.
You'll have great stories to tell people
when you get back and they'll be happy to
see you. You'll likely feel on top of the
world and that you have taken control.
I even went to the maldives for two weeks
- alone! Honeymoon island! Full of
couples! but i had the best laugh of my
life and learnt to dive and windsurf (took
up a lot of time but gave me something to
do with other people). No-one let me stay
by myself even when i tried.
