hey there,
pretty disturbing message. but when I first found this board I think I put up something not too far off from yours.
Im 25, jobless and withdrawn from my senior year at college. I have withdrawn myself from alot of my close friends although lately I have been forcing myself out more often. At night my head goes off like a race car, I lie awake for hours. I have a girlfriend who lives overseas, but I don't think I would want her to be around me right now anyway.
My point is that you are not alone. Besides myself I think just about everyone on this board is fighting a mental illness of some sort. And alot of us have been where you are and will probably return to that spot again before our lifetime is through.
I don't know your history but it sounds like you have been struggling for a good portion of your life. So I cant sugar coat things, it aint easy, I think you know that. It will probably never be easy for you. But I have seen the bottom and I have seen the top and I got to tell you man, the top is real sweet. Unfortunately our road to the top is not as straight forward as others. It is up and down and over and under and some parts of the road are probably so bad you don't even know if you can continue. But you don't really have a choice, you got to fight. You got to keep on keepin on.
I hope things get better for you sooner rather than later, but you need to know that things WILL get better. So dont give up, you are but in the early rounds of the biggest fight of your life.
Anytime you want to talk, swap stories, tell dirty jokes, whatever...just put up a post and holler out to me. I may not write all the time but im always reading.
Good luck.
