Losing my mind over this?!
Question: Losing my mind over this!?
Ok so!.!.!.!.!.Like everyone before and after me i have made mistakes in the past!. My mistake was brought on by situations and drugs in my life!. Not hard drugs, just weed but smoked enough to distort my reality!. I was really depressed and pretty much lost my way of life!. This went on for 3 years, feeling like **** about myself, smoking more dope to forget about it, making myself look like a *** because i lost all self confidant's!. Anyways my problem is is that i just moved back to my old home town and I feel really uncomfortable here!. I feel like people hate me here or talk crap about me!. I was at the mall the other day and I heard someone yell something and I thought it was at me and i thought it was negative!. I didn't know what was said or how said it but it triggered this thought in my head that it was about me and it was about my past!. I run into people i know all the time out here and every time i see them i question myself whether they like me or not!. I know some people don't because i have made a *** out of myself in front of them in the past and i am sure acted weird!. I just went through some hard times and really needed someone to help me out and nobody was there for me!. Anyways am i over reacting to everything because I haven't forgiven myself about my past!? I need some pointer's if anyone else has felt this way!. Ya i know be stronger,happier and live life!. The mall thing kinda pissed me off because this thing has been over for 11 years and for someone to yell something at me negativley because of how they think they know me then isn't that aliitle weird!? But then again i wasn't even sure if it was toward me or if it was negative!.!.!.arggggggg but never the less i seem to coinvince myself that it was and it drives me nuts!.!.!.!.I just want to move on but something is holding me back!. Oh and as for god I am not sure he exists so!.!.!.sorryWww@Answer-Health@Com

Hang in there bud- When people start using drugs that distort thier reality (especially for a long time) and then they quit (good for you-its first step) they have to kinda start back up where they left off when they started!. Confusing, maybe but true!. Your reality is still back when you were a kid and self conscious ect!.!.!.!. The reason why people use stuff is to "feel good" about themselves, right!? Now your older and obviously wiser but your mind needs to catch up!. And just for the record, everyone that uses drugs and or alcohol has made a jerk of themselves and has thought other people hated them for how they have acted!. Also, it sounds like you are having a little residual paranoia that goes along with chronic pot smoking!. The truth is, people are generally really self absorbed and are thinking more about how your thinking of them then they consider others!. Example- you are not considering what YOU think of the ones that are judging you, you are just worried about thier perceptions!. The paranoia will pass with time (you smoked a while and it will take a while to resolve)!. The reason people go to rehab or see a counselor or do a 12 step anonimus program, isn't to necessarily quit the drug, but its to have someone to bounce these distorted emotions off so they can mature in thier minds to catch up to thier bodies!. Also, don't give up so fast on God, He's not so bad as people have told you, just like your not as bad as you think :) He can be really nice to talk to!.!.!.!.Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Drugs seems to help things at first!.Then the problems are circumstances seem to get bigger ,drugs are not the answer!.Get involved with a project and do things to help other people !.You will begin to feel better and the bad thoughts will go away !.God does exist, he is with you everyday, think about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone has felt as if they have been outcast at one point or another!.!.!.you're not alone!. Who are these people that may or may not be talking about you to judge!? They're imperfect like the rest of us!.!.!.it doesn't matter what they think, but what God does and yes, He does exist!. He does love you and He does want to help you!. Do you think it was easy for His son to go through what He went through!? Of course not, it was horrible and He was hated as John 15: 18-19 says, "If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first!. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own!. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world!. That is why the world hates you!." Don't let the negative people keep you down, nor the back of your mind that nags you about your failures!. That stuff is in the past, it's over and God does want you to have a new life!. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness!. If the creator of the universe can forgive you, I know you can!. :) He doesn't want you to have a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!. Jesus came so that you may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance, He doesn't want you to be in this torment, trust Him and He will deliver you!. He does care and He is available!. You can't go back and undo what you've done, but you can let God forgive you and move forward with your life!. Trust Him to give you strength, to place the right kind of people in your life and to help you make it through the day!. I pray that He will help you greatly, lift your burdens and give you rest!. Take care of yourself, today is another day to get things right and to get better!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hi
First of all Its ok to make mistakes, even big mistakes!. It sounds like you want to turn your life around for the better but feel stuck!. First of all I would recommend that you move to another town, a place where there are no reminders of your past!. The change in environment would mean that any triggers that cause you to relapse into regret about your previous behaviours will not be present!.
You can take short courses in hobbies that interest you, or join social clubs to enable you to make new friends in your new town and new life, and be distracted from thinking about your past mistakes!.
I congratulate you in your desire to improve your life, I believe you can make this happen, if you leave the past behind you and focus on having a bright future!. You may consider seeking professional help from a counsellor, to help deal with the regret, and pain you feel in relation to your past!.
Also not believing in god is irrelevant to making you feel better!. Although the belief in a higher power can assist people, many people are athiests and live quite happy lives!. I believe what is more important that belief in religion is a desire to live a moral, good life, and treat all people with respect
Once again I congratulate you and wish you all the best in turning your life around,Www@Answer-Health@Com
