Where to start...

[Ja_82]

Sometimes i feel like the only way to feel normal is to be under stressful situations. I like to have many things on my plate and the feeling of being able to solve and manage them. That is why, lately, i do not know what to make of myself.

I'm 23 yo, speak three languages, recently graduated from law, and did it with a lot of expectations, only to find out that things are incredibly harder than expected (which is completely normal, and i know it's a phase to go through), i feel in such need of guidance, professionally speaking.

I'm also going through extreme loneliness, i recently came out of the closet to my family, after being in a relationship for a while; but i did not tell my closest friends (who are heterosexual). Which leaves me feeling like i have to move on from being with them (at least when it comes to support), they're very good, but they do not represent who i am as a whole, and have shown little respect for "homosexual behavior". To my gay friends i am completely out, just because i’ve told my family, and that makes feel uncomfortable with them. I do think that being honest with myself is extremely important, and that comes first, but i'm just torn, prioritizing, organizing and integrating every aspect of my life, and i'm failing to do so.




I just don't know where to begin...

Hi

You have accomplished many things to only be 23 years old and for that you are to be congratulated!!

We live in a time where it is very normal to feel overwhelmed now and then. Life happens whether we are prepared/ready or not. If we feel that we are not in control then it can be depressing.

An old adage says "Just do the next thing." That's all any of us can do. Take a deep breath and "do the next thing." We must learn to deal with our stresses and disappointments. Many people do this through yoga, Pilates, walking/exercising, listening to good music, medication, etc. We all need some quiet time daily.

I would suggest that you read Dr. Group's articles here at the site. If needed find a trusted professional or friend that you can talk with. It is very important to be able to communicate your feelings with another human being. It is very cleansing for the soul.

Hopefully you are taking care of yourself health-wise. If the body is not being taken care of then it can certainly have an effect on the mind. Get on a healthy diet, exercise, drink filtered water, good supplementation and learn new ways to deal with spiritual and emotional health. You may want to look at Lithium Orotate or SamE to help balance out your emotions. Just doing these things will help everything to not seem so overwhelming, but very doable.

Good Luck! It sounds like you have a very exciting life ahead of you.
