hermit Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hello again! Seem to be posting on here lots lately... I just feel so stuck!!! If you've been reading my numerous threads, you probably know I'm a bit of a loner - yes, the name gives it away too:) This is why I feel so STUCK in my situation: I am studying on a full-time course, which has turned out to be more than full time. I literally get up at 5am, work without a break til 5pm, go home, eat, fall in to bed, repeat. That includes weekends. And I just about manage to get all my work done. Now, since my bf left me, I've had no social life and have generally been soul searching as a result. I'm really passionate about theatre, and used to do amateur dramatics, also did my drama A-levels. I feel like I haven't got a life, or friends at the moment, and you guys have told me to go out there and meet new people, start a new hobby. Well, I've often thought (even before we broke up) I would so like to get back into acting, it is so fulfilling and helps my self-esteem too. But how do i fit this into my ridiculous schedule? There is no way... I'm so stressed already! I managed to get on the course i so wanted, but no it means i can't do anything else. I feel stuck... Anyone else feel like this? Any advice? Thanks in advance... Link to post Share on other sites
Ruby Slippers Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Is there anything you can cut out? If not, can you make friends in your current classes and activities? Link to post Share on other sites

georgehutton Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've taken some acting classes before, and they were FANTASTIC for busting me out of my shell. If you can find time AT ALL, try to get into some group, even if it's sat nights, sun mornings. Some things off the top of my head.. Take a walk at night before you eat, for maybe 20 minutes. Make it a point to say "Hi" to at least one person every day. Are you getting good quality sleep? If you are, you shouldn't need more than 8 hours, perhaps even less. If you get up at 5, that means you can go to bed at 9, right? so that gives you 3 or four hours every evening? Go out to eat once a week, and sit at the counter portion of the restaurant and talk to people that are sitting there. go to church sunday mornings (find a nice unitarian one). Join a church group. what kind of course are you taking? are there people in there you can talk to? Hope some of this helps. Link to post Share on other sites
