Loneliness

So My Saturday night was pretty boring. I didn't mind staying home but now I've got to deal with this anxiety/loneliness feeling. I was sitting in my bed, just finished watching Prince Of Persia (good movie btw) and all of a sudden I get this feeling of Loneliness and my mind starts racing with thoughts of me being lonely for the rest of my life. I get scared/nervous, best way to describe the feeling is to imagine having butterflies in your stomach but your mind racing at the same time. It wasn't quite a full anxiety attack as it rushed past me but it still lingers.

This has happened before and something I read said just take life one day at a time and not think of the future. Usually that is how I like to think of things, but I feel it has to do with that I have a lot of things on my plate, plus today was generally pretty boring. I did nothing all day except when i went out to the golfing range for an hour. I will be moving out of state at the end of the year, which could play a big roll as I am both excited/nervous at the same time. Moving can be tough...leaving everything you know and everyone you know behind.

Thinking back on my earlier years I was always someone that kept to myself. I grew up with my sister and cousins constantly around but even when they weren't I was completely at happy playing with my toys by myself, and often spent time doing so. That was a phase I carried with me for quite some time, As I got older I always had friends, I'm the type of person that gets along with everyone and I like to be liked. When i went to high school I spent much of my weekends going out and looking for girls or just generally hanging out with my buddies, some of whom I still hang out with still. But up until a few months ago I don't know what changed in me but I lost all my motivation to go out. I guess I just felt my friends did the same shit and I really wasn't going in the same direction as they were, most of my friends still like to party, drink, get wasted, not that I'm against it but I just don't see that as having a good time.

So what did I do? I stayed home most weekends, spent more time with my parents, who didn't mind. But ever so often I get bored of staying at home. Recently my grandmother told me to go out and have fun, don't stay in the house all the time. She told me that going out will help me develop into a more independent person, seeing as that she thinks I am still pretty attached to my parents. I understand exactly where she is coming from because I do hold onto my home/family quite a bit. Its something I've been working on, it just seems rough at times. I've been making it a weekly habit that my buddies and I go out, even if we just hang for at least an hour or so, its better than staying home. I just need to start finding more weekend activities to do, regardless if its during the day or at night.

Needed to get that out, feeling better. Going to try and read for a bit to fall asleep. Goodnight

Off days

Although things have been going pretty well, there are always OFF days where you don't feel like your normal self and in turn initiate anxious/uncomfortable feelings, thoughts, worries, ect. I had an anxiety attack randomly one day out of the blue, which caught me completely off guard. My day was going ok, nothing out of the ordinary when all of a sudden I get this rush that fills my mind with thoughts and instant anxiety. I was at work at the time and I simply stepped away from my desk and went for outside for a few minutes of air. Once I got over the initial anxiety I was just left with an uncomfortable feeling all day. I lost my appetite at lunch time but still ate something so I wouldn't start feeling worse from lack of food. At lunch I was able to call my mom and speak to her to help ease my mind. Got through the rest of the day without an issue. Ever since then, this happed quite a few weeks ago, I've been having up and down days. Some days I feel alright but some d...

Anxious Days lately

Blah. My anxiety has been running rampant this past week and I cannot seem to figure out why. It could be because I have a vacation coming up, possibly nervous about traveling? I've never been to Mexico, where I'm traveling to, but don't think I my mind should be racing. And whats even more puzzling is the thoughts in my mind aren't even related to my trip! I've been thinking about my life, my career path, Am I crazy, Is everything ok.....the normal stuff. What is my mind trying to tell me that needs some adjustment? We've got some lay-offs happening at work which only started this week which can add to it but I've accepted the fact that if I were to get laid off I'd be alright with that, its honestly out of my control! The worst part about not having a job if it were to happen is staying home. Work for me is a get out of the house and interact activity, I get to work with different people on a daily basis and its something I truly enjoy. We've b...
