...See more Hey there :) Just putting this out there as it might do me some good. I am not suicidal nor do I self harm but there are times I question do I want to be a part of this world. I am an introvert who often feels overwhelmed and like a failure in an extrovered career.  I would love to be able to speak with someone, who not tries to give me answers or tries to find reason to my feelings but rather help me explore different ways of dealing with my stressors. I really would like someone who can encourage me to open up and speak about how I feel. Many thanks Orla

...See more Hi Sometimes, pretty much like now, I wonder really what is the point in living. I always believed that we give our own lives meaning, that we will arrive where we are meant to be however we choose how to get there. Tomorrow I have work, overall I love my job. I do not get to do my job to my full potential due the staff shortages. Every day I work I have to put in 150% of my energy and just get on with it. If I do not get on with it I will be in trouble. It is difficult and is beginning to eat away at me outside of work. Being introvert in an extroverted job is difficult enough with out staff shortages.  I feel so uninterested to interact with the world and more so feel the world is uninterested to interact with me. I often think that life is so meaningless and pointless that I should just do all the things I want....even if it is on my own. I want to go to the zoo..I should just go myself... want to see the botanic gardens...why not just plan a trip for just me....move to Canada....learn something new - as much as we ask why...why not... it often feels like it would be easier that way, I just wish I had the drive, motivation, will power to do it and not care what others thought........ Being alive is difficult. I feel I am fighting everyday.
