my anxiety has gotten better since i first
got it. heres my problem. first im going
to tell you guys my everyday routine. i go
to sleep around 8 in the morning. wake up
around 5 in the evening, listen to my ipod
for awhile then go down the street untill
around 11 at night. come home listen to my
ipod untill my ears hurt haha. the repeat,
stay up till 8 blah blah blah.i want to
get a job but my dad wants me to stay home
and play the guitar and make that my
career. (dont get me wrong, i appreciate
him looking out for me and him spending
ALOT of money on guitars and stuff). when
i tell him i dont wanna play the guitar it
most of the time ends up with me leaving
the house and us being mad at each other.
when i come back we talk about stuff that
i gotta do to come back and live here. he
tells me he want me to make music my
career and tells me how the guitar will
get me all the money i need and ill be set
for life. all that sounds good then.plus i
wanna stop fighting too so i agree to
continue playing the guitar. a few days
pass and i feel the need to get a job and
all that good stuff. that happens
everytime i tell him i wanna get a job.
like i said my anxiety isnt as bad, but im
really depressed and i see why. i do
nothing 24/7. nothing at all. and i tell
my dad that and he says well you konw what
you could be doing (he's talking about
playing the guitar) so yea what should i
do?

How old are you? I think if you are a
young adult, you should get a job that YOU
like, get your own home, and become your
own person. As a parent, I understand
your dad's point of view as well.
But.........as a parent, I have also
learned that my children are going to do
what they want and not what I think is
best for them. I am trying to accept
this and your dad will eventually
understand this as well. Right now, you
need to worry about the
depression/anxiety, it will only get worse
if you do not make a lifestyle change.
You can do it, make yourself happy!

i say that and you might think screw you
but im not one for working either, I hate
it and do it as least as possible. Not
sure what age you are, if it helps i wasnt
doing f*all till i turned 28. What i know
that cured me was my hubby and the little
girl i always dreamed of. I had a few
little jobs before that and know its what
made me happier. Working than not
working. Now though I am the luckiest
person alive. We're not rich,,,,far from
it, we arent even awfully comfortable but
we love each other totally. I only work
weekends, waitressing for a few hours
which i actually enjoy and being a mother
during the week which is when my hubby
works. I hope things work out for you.
Right at the start i gave in and took meds
for depression, before i met my hubby, and
it really helped, it gave me enough umph
to go out there and get a job. Just do
summin, i ended up working for a
residential home, not my number one job
but it gave me the confidence to go on.
Every anti-depressant works different for
different people. MY personal favourite
has always been ZOLOFT. IT stopped my
anxiety and gave me the strenght to go on.
From what i hear though, they all act
differently to different people. Hang in
there...YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT!!!!

Hey eeyore!! Posted: 04-22-08 02:06am
Ive only just joined but eeyore made me
feel more positive, mdwannabe just
remember, life IS what you make it. When i
had to go for that first job i was
quiverring with fear...litterally, but
once i got over the first bit and looked
back i felt silly for being so silly. Life
aint so scary and i can honestly say
without being sarcastic, IT does get
BETTER the older you get. Lifes
precious...try make the most of it!!!
