New Year but feeling a bit down

[phil06]

I feel a little down this New Year. Sometimes I feel not too bad then other reflection is that I feel a bit down looking back on the past.

I'm just mixed emotions at the moment like I don't care, what will be will be and feel a bit lonely being single for two years running. I'm not one for trying as I had a date just a few nights past. I just feel my life is going too quick.

I am trying to be optimistic is anybody else feeling a bit down this New Year?

Hi,
This is my post from earlier on. I feel just as you do from time to time, and especially now at this time I feel that subconsciously I am expecting much of myself this year!

"Ok, its another year, time to be positive and make changes right??
I guess for a lot of us that is just impossible to imagine or hope for, as much as we may want it.
I was in tears this morning, knowing that however much I try to accept, live with and manage my anxiety, I have no control over the overwhelming feelings of doom and disaster that rear their ugly head from time to time.
But........
Life goes on, we survive (in whatever way we can) and my positive thoughts now far outweigh the negative ones.......
So... my New Years resolutions???
Keep smiling
Stay positive
Keep myself creatively occupied
Get out into the big wide world again, no matter how small or big the steps I have to take are.

A big hug to everyone on the site, and Happy New Year"

Thanks.

I don't know what's up maybe its the time of year I just feel a down. Thinking of the past and time moving on seems to depress me. My parents keep saying they are not getting any younger. Perhaps my anxiety plays on this and puts more significance in things. I just feel I need answers for everything.

I can't really be very positive about being lonely and single. I just see pictures of me being young now at 20 then old and past and and everything moved on and me somehow drifting and be being left out.
