Not Sure What to Think of This Posted: 11-06-07 10:23am
Lately my life has been complete an udder
crap. I have been failing my college
courses, i haven't even been to class for
the past 3 weeks. I just recently moved to
a new house. I broke off a friendship with
my ex girlfriend of 2 years (which we
broke up 5 months ago) in which we decided
to be just friends, but i ended it because
i can't stand the pain of not being able
to be with her.
Anyways, ever since i have moved to my new
house, i have been having sleep problems.
I have troubles falling asleep, and when i
do, i wake up atleast 2-3 times in the
night recalling dreams i have had. Ive
been having nightmares, and if not a
nightmare a very messed up dream. There
are nights where i dont even get to sleep,
like today, i haven't slept. In the
evenings, i will sit in my room,
completely and underly down on myself,
like my life is going nowhere. I can't
help but think of everything wrong in my
life. I procrastinate so much lately,
about school work, things im going to do
around my house, just anything. I honestly
have lost all my friends in the past 2
years, well i shouldnt say lost, but i do
not have any close relationships with
anyone anymore. I am basically by myself.
I am not a social butterfly, so it is very
hard for me to meet new people. I am by no
means a social outcast, but i am a very
shy person. I sit at home at nights,
waiting for my ex girlfriend to call me,
or txt me, or anything to show me that she
wants me back. I get nothing. There are
times i will call her and ask her
something, just to try and talk with her,
and she will just tell me to leave her
alone. I don't know what to do, between my
heartbreaking relationship with her, my
school going down the toilet, my sleepless
nights or bad dreams, i am just so
confused. I feel like there is so much
expectation on me, and it is so very hard
to deliver. I was the first to go to
college out of 4 children, and the
pressure is a lot even though my class
load is easy. I have no idea what to do. I
keep thinking that i need somebody to talk
to, but i feel ashamed. I think to myself
that i wont even be able to put forth the
effort to even show up if i do infact find
someone to talk to. I dont know what to
do, and i dont want to tell anyone. The
only person i would ever personally tell
this is my ex gf, i could tell her
anything. At this point, i have no idea
what to do, i am absolutely
clueless.......

I read your post over twice. What I am
reading is your trying get over that
relationship. This can lead to everything
you mentioned above. The only advice I
personally can give you right now is to
try and force yourself to be socialble. Go
look for friends and don't wait for them
to come looking for you. Go to college
gatherings and social affairs
etc...Friendship is not goning to come
knocking on your dorm door. The only thing
that is going to happen if this keeps up
is you will become extreamly intraverted
and you self esteem will drop fast.
Already your grades are showing the fall.
I is very hard to get over an important
relationship and can take time. You are
greeving right now and you need to try and
focus on other things. If she wants you
back, let her come to you. I would not
beg, it sometimes has a rebound and the
person backs away instead. I would just
not call for awhile and try and consitrate
on you future. If she does take you back,
it would be nice for you to have a degree
to support her if that is the case.
Give her some space for a bit. Let her
miss you for change. Just try not to let
this affect your future which you have
strived for so long.

Do you think she is the reason I seem to
be having emotional breakdowns? No matter
what it is. I find anything that is a
little bit said to be way over whelming.
Ive been getting mad at the stupidest
things lately....Its like i need someone
to talk too...

Yes, I'm sorry to say. I do think she is
the reason. Compiling all of the infor in
you post, that seems to be the only thing
other then new school, that has
dramatically changed for the bad in you
life. Everything else seems quite normal.
I attempted suicide twice over a guy. So,
I have been there myself. Don't let that
happen to you please! Not worth it. You
sound like an intellegant person and I am
sure you can find a lady that will treat
you the way you deserve to be treated. You
need to try you best to stop dwelling on
her and move on. If it were me, even if
she came back to you, I would be hesitant
on taking her back. Who's to say she won't
pull this on you again and you down for
another fall.
P.S. I was exactly your age at the time
too! Very hard years to go through.
Planning your life, hoping to meet the
guy/girl of you dreams and maybe one day
settle down. It's not an easy age by far.
But, you can and will get throught it.
