I feel as though i can't do anything without dreaming about what i've always wished for. All i can do is think about my future. All of the hoping, wishing, and dreaming drives me crazy. I guess what really scares me is not being able to achieve what i want to before i die. Whenever i'm at home all i can do is write songs or draw. I feel that if i don't do anything my life is going to end up meaningless...the sad thing is, i actually believe that i can achieve what i want to. Everyone else around me seems to have a good time, when all i can do is worry and drive myself crazy in my own thoughts...I've never done this before until these last few months. Am i not mentally "with it"?

if your a liberal...ABSOLUTELY...little to nothing is reality based. If not, dont just dream, dream and plan. Some people see things as they are and say why. I see things as they never were and say why not.

I have gotten "stuck" in the same situation you are in. I think other people are the answer. It's so much easier to think about what you're going to do and how great it will be to than to actually do something - plus, it feels great to dream of how "it will be". When I get like that, I use "baby steps". What do I want to accomplish next (or first!! LOL) and what would be the very first action I should take? Looking up a phone number, going and purchasing something, going to an employment agency, calling an agent? What's the very first action you need to take to accomplish something you want to accomplish. Then take that one action. Even if that's all you do that day - you'll feel better and if you can take the next action tomorrow, usually your stronger inner self will begin to kick back in again - but do not isolate. I think I could live out my whole life as a recluse, dreaming of how great it will be when....... GOOD LUCK - life isn't easy, that's for sure! :)

Sounds like you have had extra stress to deal with in the past few months. Writing and drawing is good because it is a positive way of coping. But instead of being sad and negative you might need to force yourself to do something good so that you can break out of the shell that you made for yourself.

No it is normal. What you are doing is getting to caught up in the future.
Learn to live in the present.
Read a book called the Power of Now you can buy it on amazon it might help you realize how important it is to just be content in the now.

I'm in the same boat sister. I'm struggling to find purpose and worrying about how to jump start my life and make my dreams become my reality. I'll stay posted to your question to see if we can both find an answer :) Thanks for being a voice for my thoughts.
