Maybe you've heard this too much, but those fears are very normal. I'm sorry you've got those feelings, but try to keep the positive things in mind! /hughug If you have reason to believe that you could lose your job, then try to ensure you don't. If you are concerned that you might be alone again, maybe there's things you can do about that as well, meet others and so on.
In any case, I hope I'm not sounding preachy or something, but I was there too so it's sort of a topic that's close to me. To explain that, I was unemployed for roughly one year, had lost my car because it was too expensive to repair (and there's no real public transportation around my house and I had no extra money for that anyway), was in debt up to my eyeballs and most of my friends (all apart from one, really) have moved away...I understand exactly where you are coming from, in the feeling of being lonely or abandoned, and having lost my job.
Unemployment doesn't exactly pay handsomely, and I was relying on one person to on occasion show up and hang out. That, and spent more time with my family.
But I managed to handle it and got through that crap. Things happen that we can't control. Speaking personally, I found that the best way to climb out of any puddle of depression over my situation was escapism in the form of writing, anime, games, art, and so on.
Do you have any hobbies that can distract your thoughts from the bad stuff?

XxAriaxX Sakaiden XxAriaxX I read, watch tv shows... When I do enough of that, I would exercise ... They are all activites done alone so... XD I wish I knew what more to say. D: Aside from maybe try some new things you're comfortable with, see if you can meet others with similar interests and experiences that way. Do you go to a gym or go out running or something? It's okay smile , don't force yourself to find a solution XD... I don't go to the gym because I have to pay. So, I exercise at home. I don't like to run in public places. I just need sometimes to rant a bit and see if there's other ways, learning from others... I like to talk to people and learn.
Heh, I understand that. I live on a circle, its private so I can just walk around it if I want, which is nice. And I agree with you, I need to learn from others too. I often feel like I'm doing everything wrong, that there's something more I can do in my current situation but I'm coming up woefully short on alternatives. It isn't easy for me to go anywhere really because I take care of my grandmother. Since she needs to be taken care of 24/7, I can't exactly go out and meet others. I barely get to take a 15 minute walk!
Lately the only way I get out of the house is when we meet up with family for dinner once a week and when I go grocery shopping, and my grandmother is developing dementia. And horrible as it probably sounds, believe me, she isn't the kind of company I want to have because she gets emotionally abusive towards me, though she doesn't realize she's acting that way.
Part of why I got back onto Gaia here is because I'm just trying to meet other people in hopes it can help me take my mind off the negative stuff, whenever I'm not watching something or writing or drawing or gaming, yknow? |
