Burdened by life

[deadfan420]

Does anyone ever feel like they have the weight of the world on them, and sometimes life is just too much to bear?

I'm only in my late 20s, which is still pretty young. But when I start getting depressed and stressed out I think to myself "how am I going to deal with this for another 50-60+ years? Sometimes it seems overbearing.

Sorry if this is a little confusing.

Nahh. Life is fine.

Are you worrying about a ton of things at once and trying to deal with too much right now? Are you getting any exercise? Eating well? Getting plenty of sleep?

I find that when I'm feeling like I bear the weight of the world on my shoulders, it's most often when it's late at night and I'm tired and overwhelmed by the weight of my day and my responsibilities. But it can also happen when you're dealing with depression, too. Make sure you're not trying to worry about a bunch of things you can't control--and make sure you're resting enough, eating well, drinking plenty of non-alcoholic fluids, taking your vitamins, and getting some exercise. Try talking out some of those burdens with friends and letting as much of it go as you can. I find meditation and/or yoga tremendously helpful, too.

Sorry if this sounds like advice from a mom. That's what it is. I can't help myself.

I know what you mean but I think the world will brake before I do

The most important thing to remember is Don't sweat the petty shit! Seriously. Choose your battles. Pick things to worry about that directly affect your life. Worry about things you can actually change. Other wise,as you see, you will and can worry about everything. It's easier said than done, but after awhile small stuff just starts to roll off your back.
I've been there. I'm not the happiest mother fucker out there for nothing, you know! I choose to be happy.:thumbsup:

I know what you mean, I'm sure a lot of people here do. These times are temporary though, you're going to have up days and down, and sometimes you can have 2 or 3 months of feeling overburdened. It's a bitch, I know, all you can do is distract yourself with things you enjoy, try to learn things, and work on a more possitive perception.

Man today (like so many days) I was feeling like there were 100lbs on my shoulders, such huge things to figure out and I don't know what to do, and the worst part is I have nobody I can talk to about it. That's the hardest, having nobody to talk it through with, so if you have somebody make use of them.

not really....flyin' high here myself. i see some people just get really mad at such small things like everyday inconveniences, you will forget about them in the next hour so just don't think about it, even pain and injury is only temporary. In all spectrum of everything none of us really mean anything at all. it's devastating to most, but blissful to me.

What I do when im feeling low is just dedicate sometime to chilling, doesnt have to be too long. I like just sitting outside at night, looking up at the sky and just thinking about things that mean something to me. A lot of people rush around too much these days and dont get time they can just space out without thinking about something they have to do soon. Take it easy.

just go with the flow, take things as the come, look on the bright side of things, and smoke a fatty with some high quality bud. :S5: its all good dont let life get you down. its awsome you have 50-60+ years to go. think about all the good times to come! They'll only come if you are open to it though, so stay possitive and know great things are comming your way.
good luck with everything
