Everyday is exactly the same and there doesn't seem to be an exit from this loop.

I'm in a rut an endless loop that I've been walking for awhile. This path has been carved so deep into the ground if you look up you may not be able to tell what time of day it is or is it night? I used to care about things, I used to have many interests, I used to go places and hang out with people but it's slowed to a trickle. I'm just tired and numb. Tired of being treated like crap, tired of stress, tired of feeling worthless and stupid and have reduced myself to going to work, going home, getting high and that's the entire cycle right there. Sometimes if I'm up to it I'll hang out with people or go somewhere but it's not like it used to be. I went to the park recently thinking fresh air would do me good but I just felt anxious the entire time like I couldn't relax. I wandered aimlessly and felt like I didn't know what to do with myself. Thing is I often feel that way when I go places alone. I want to be there but I just feel so anxious and unsure of what to do or if I should be there or not. Sometimes I'll pull into the parking lot and just freak out and go home because I don't know if I can do it due to those anxious feelings. Honestly? That's nothing new I've always had that issue ever since I was a kid. If I had to guess and mind you I am not a psychologist or expert by any means I believe it stems from being ostracized and bullied. I never understood why I was ostracized by everyone I just was. No matter how nice I was or how helpful I was or how much I tried to fit in it was as if an invisible mark was stamped on my forehead that said "not like us". It was rare to find a place where I did fit in and did find acceptance and when I found it I fought hard to never let go. Unfortunately nothing lasts forever and then I wander again to try to find what I once had. I guess I rambled on too much and got sidetracked from the original topic.

Back on topic......

I'm supposed to this summer go on a trip with some friends but during the planning process they are all excited and asking me for my input and I'm just nodding along with whatever they say because deep down I don't care. I should care and I should be excited because I love going to the woods and being up north but at the same time I don't have the energy to smile or show any shred of enthusiasm. It will be different when I actually get there that's usually how it goes but I wish I felt something more, I wish I felt what they did and do. It's weird because I want to be with other people but at the same time I want to be left alone. Talk to me but don't. Spend time with me but don't. Push and pull. Open and close. Yes and no. It's confusing and I just feel like all it does is anger everyone.

It sounds like you have a pretty decent life tbh. You have friends, you go on trips, it's definitely not the worst. I think if you spent more time just enjoying the moment and people around you, and less time being introspective (like thinking about what people thought of you when you were a child), you could be much happier. And no one says you have to go home and smoke weed everyday, in fact that could be why you feel depressed. If it's an addiction, maybe it's time to deal with it before it's too late. Anything that makes you feel good – weed, alcohol, drugs, porn, fastfood, gambling, spending money – will make you feel like crap in general, if you do it too often.

@Nightwings That's true I do spend too much time locked inside my own head scrutinizing every little interaction throughout the day. As far as addiction goes it would be much simpler if it was weed.

I don't know you beyond what I've read here,but as a clean and sober addict I recognize that perhaps your drug of choice is not doing you many favors at this point. But you're wise to be looking at your patterns and limitations and seem willing to change them,which is hopeful.

You are not stupid and only you can make the needed changes to your current situation.
I appreciate your honest post as well.This sort of stuff can be terribly confusing,but you are not alone.

@dubkebab You're right the drugs aren't helping even though I think they do

It looks like to me that your soul is very lonely .
Like you were talking about being bullied ,and then in another line you said no interest .
I'm gonna tell you something . When you go through tough times and what you said , why would you have interest. There's not much wrong with you , only I think your soul is lonely .
When your like that it can be very painful like your soul is screaming from the inside.
No offense now my friend when your soul is lonely and you have no interest in life , the biggest trick of the mind is for you too feel sorry for yourself . It happens everyone , only now I can see when it's happening .
You can get sick of life my friend 😅😅😉.
Sick to death of it 😅😅😊 .
On the other side when life is given too you , you should be grateful . That keeps the spirit going

@riseofthemachine That makes a lot of sense actually.
It's like reading my inner monologue. Yeah I get this. It's erratic and so uncomfortable but I think it's growth/change. Like a snake coming out of its old skin.

I have the same struggles. I hope things get better foe you.

@DearAmbellina2113 Thank you and I hope yours will alleviate soon as well. It's not fun.

I guess you're just withdrawn and detached because of your anxiety? An over simplification of your ongoing social fears of ostracism?
separatetheheart · 31-35, MNew
@YoMomma That could possibly play a big hand in this. I know my anxiety for sure has historically been high..
