i want to be free

this is sort of like a part 2 from my last post. i just really miss how life used to be. i miss my old self. earlier this year, at the end of January, an incident happened between me and my best friend (who is the closest person to me, besides my parents and such). then more things started to happen and life just went absolutely downhill. for the last 4 months up until now, I've been in the dark. I've dealt with relationship problems, friendship problems, death and more. its summertime now. i hope i can get out of this dark place and sadness i am in. i just want to be normal again

2018 is surely my worst year ever.

even though nothing "bad" is happening to me or in my life, i still find myself to be feeling sad and anxious...in the "darkness".

i want to be free. life just isn't the same

There are some times that it feels everything comes crashing down around you, no matter what you do. For me, it takes a week or so before things get back to normal.

But sometimes, we have a month, or in rare cases, a year, where it feels you can't ever recover and you want to hole up and never surface again. This sounds like you're having a year like that. What I can say, is that it doesn't happen all the time. Even though it feels as though it's coming rapid fire and not allowing you time to breathe, it is not the 'new reality'. Try to take more time to recoup, but don't dwell on things too long. If you dwell, then the craziness also lingers.

@LydiaStilinski Emotional healing takes time and patience, but you will get to what would be best described as a 'new' normal. You have a lot to still look forward to, try to refocus on your dreams and goals to bring you back quicker.
