Cold Winter is Getting to Me Emotionally.

[StupidxLamb]

I feel unbelievably lonely right now. I don't even know when it came over me. Its been a stressful week, I'm having some serious issues with my car, I have a job interview Thursday but they called today because they're concerned about my desire to transfer to a different college and how that will effect them in the long run, my bff posted 'engaged' on facebook without saying anything to me about it, my phone service has been shut off for a week and a few days which sadly has cut me off from just about all communication with anyone, I very much dislike the retail job I have right now mainly because I know that they feel I'm disposable and plan to let me go anyway, the holiday cheer is actually depressing me. I just feel uncomfortable. I'm really sorry if this comes off like a major whiny kid. I just needed to vent out to the open space. I feel a little bit better. Thanks.

My advice would be to shift the center of focus off of yourself and how miserable you are feeling, and use the holidays as a good excuse to focus more on others and helping them in any way you can. And no, I'm not Christian or anything like that...it's more an exercise in psychology than anything else. But helping others will bring joy as well as serving the duel function of distracting you from your own problems. Plus, generosity is contagious. You might be surprised how much a simple shift of focus away from yourself and your own problems will allow you to discover a general sense of overall contentment living in the bigger picture.

I know what you mean but I don't have time or the opportunity. Right now my time is sucked with school and miserable job. I have issues finding time to sleep. These aren't decent excuses but its enough to actually keep me from doing anything sadly. Plus normally I try to keep positive or shift my focus from myself, I'm a psych major. However its really getting to me because every day something new happens. Meh. I'm complaining I know. Thanks for replying though.

Well.. The best thing I can think of is to just listen to your emotions. What are you really feeling? They're emotions, right? Your body's trying to tell you something.. So.. Try to listen to what your "deeper" self, if you will, is trying to tell you. Right? If you're fearful, you're expecting for something bad to happen, so your body's trying to tell you "QUICK, DO SOMETHING!!! RUN AWAYYY OR FIGHT! WHATEVER!! DO SOMETHING O_o". When you're feeling disappointed, you have a feeling of loss, something that you expected to happen, didn't happen, or that you expected not to happen, actually did happen. When you're angry, either you yourself or someone else has basically stomped all over your important rules. If you're feeling lonely, you just need a connection with a person. So listen to what your body has to say to you, and then heed the message.. If you're fearful, prepare, do something. If you're disappointed, your expectation wasn't met, or your expectation was somehow inappropriate, so either say what you want, communicate your needs, or change your expectations ("am I overreacting, maybe? Maybe whatever happened wasn't meant in the way I took it...") . If you're angry, again, communicate your standards. If you're lonely, go get that connection that you're looking for.. etc. etc. etc. Also: remember that this community's pretty nice, so feel free to rant or "whine", for the lack of a better word, as much as you want . It's better to just get things out of your system than to crop it up. So if you feel like it, we're here for you... Have a great day, also: here's a dancing muffin for you -> Tim
