    Stress, friendship, & negative thoughts
    I'm having an issue now with my stress. Who doesn't right? Well I've been noticing that my stress from school has been overwhelming in a different way. I seriously feel like I'm going crazy in my own thoughts and I catch myself telling myself to stop thinking negative thoughts. Such thoughts that consists of I'm not good enough, the person I'm dating I wouldn't be good enough for them, I'm not entertaining enough to have friends to call me, weird thoughts. I cried the past couple days because I couldn't take them anymor. I try very hard to ignore them and do things that try to motivate me. It helps a little but they're still there. I know it will pass but I don't know why they come up so suddenly and hard. I start to feel needy of someone's presence and understanding but I become afraid to share what's going on in my head because I've tried expressing and it's not what I want to hear or feel as though they're even listening to understand where I come from.

    Then just recently I asked if I can bring over the guy I'm dating to my friends house my friend said he doesn't like his AURA? WHO does that? iit hurt that I had to hear something like that when my friend isn't even a specialized aura reader or whatever they're known as. He only met my date once! And he feels as though he can't trust him. I've been thinking and doubting how I make friendships with people and I think or knew that I make a great friend but it's hard to find good friends in return. At this point I feel lonely and I wish just like anyone else on here I could call someone but don't really have anyone to. It feels as though the people I'm surrounded by are selfish and self absorbed. I don't know what to think anymore.


    Please any advice welcome

    CBT might help. And maybe your Aura reading friend is just jealous of your date.

    CBT helps with the scripts that whirl around in your head. Try this site:
    Home of http://reachout.com/ - Offline it's pretty good.

    You are not alone, those thoughts can get pretty consuming sometimes, they fill your head and make it hard to concentrate. Worst of all they make you feel like crap and make you doubt yourself.

    If you have not already, talk to your doctor or school councilor... they deal with this sort of stuff on a daily basis.
