Re: Feeling Really Down And Homesick
Hello Ruby, My, my, my, what a troubled soul you are. I'm not going to give you a load of jargon, but I will get straight to the point.... you need to see a Counsellor. You have so much to say, and it seems, no one to say it to. No one who can give you the proper help you need. Seeing a Counsellor is such a liberating experience, because, even though you are talking to a stranger, you can just let it all out. No one will judge you, no one will criticise you, no one will make you feel like a piece of dog poo on their shoe. You will be treated with respect, treated like the genuine, unique person that you truly are. Believe me, once you have a session with a Counsellor, you will walk out of their office on Cloud 9 because you feel this great sense of release. Someone is listening and wants to listen. You finally have a place to just put down all of your troubles and feelings and the Counsellor will fix you. You will become the person that you once were. The person that is now, to me, so lost. You just need to find your way back. You will gain self esteem, confidence, and if like me, after many months of Counselling, you will feel the need to help others in your situation. Can you imagine how many other people out there are feeling exactly how you are right now? There are millions, but it just takes that one special person -YOU - to sit up, hold your head high and just say out loud "I AM NOT TAKING THIS ANYMORE. I AM NOT GOING TO KEEP FEELING LIKE THIS ANYMORE. I AM A PERSON OF WORTH AND I MATTER IN THIS WORLD". Because it's true. No matter how cheesy or Americanised that sounds, it's true. I firmly believe that we are all placed on this planet for a reason and no matter how small our existence may feel, we all contribute to the running of this world. All of the people you have met, you have caused an action in their lives that they probably wouldn't have had, had they not met you.
All you can do now is try and get through Christmas as best as you can, but make 2010 Your Year. Go and see your GP, get a referral to a Counsellor ... and make your life count.
Hope this helps.
Merry Christmas, Ruby. Here's to a brand New Year. Cheers !
Jackie Clouston.
