Hi despairguy,
I am not sure what your problems are, but you are very intelligent. I am sorry you have hit rock bottom, if you want to elaborate, either here or in a pm, please do, because I am interested as I don't think you should kill yourself, because you are very perceptive and insightful. Maybe if you have tried, but I really hope you do not, because you seem like a very decent person.
I would ask, if you can also please elaborate either here or in a pm on the notion that I have rejected my reality, because I think you are right, I just do not understand how I can change this. My mom says that my problem is that I have my own view of how the world works and I cannot adjust to the real world... She is right, but I don't feel that I have the tools to adjust to it.
Yes, I don't like my reality, and I perceive that I cannot (or will not) change it. I think this creates problems, in the sense that when I don't like my reality, I cannot adapt.
But, I am not sure how to get out of this, because my emotions swirl so much I have trouble controlling them or changing them. It is that swirling of emotions, constant anxiety (to the point that I start burning on my face and arms), that it is just so much, and I want to escape it. But, if I am posting on this forum, then I do want a way out without taking the ultimate way out. I just cannot imagine anything other than the current reality...
Do I feel like I am at rock bottom? Emotionally I am close, otherwise perhaps Not yet, but I do feel close thre as well, and in the future all I can envision is myself hitting rock bottom, which I fear greatly. I feel that it is better to just stop things now, so that I never do hit rock bottom...Does that make sense? I have almost certainly destroyed my career, though the career counselor says I have not, but since I am paying him, I don't necessarily trust him.
I am rambling and I am taking up valuable space, so I apologize.
