Current mood: crappy

i'm in a really rotten mood.


last night my dad told me that i'm 'not allowed' to go to boston to visit james until i've finished a semester of school.
ummm.... i was going to go there in december BEFORE school even started, so wtf.

so i'm pissed at my parents, and they're upset with me.

plus then james and i were arguing earlier about this whole situation, because he's really upset that after thanksgiving, he probably won't be able to see me for another four months. well yeah, we knew this was going to be a bitch of a time when we got into this relationship, since we're half a country away from each other.
i don't know. i'm just feeling really rushed in every aspect of my life right now, and i'm being pulled in so many different directions. my mind and my heart can't take this. =(

it seems like every time after something bad happens or i experience some form of heartbreak, i end up shutting my emotions off from other people more and more, and i can feel emotion shutting off from myself as well. it's weird. i can feel anger and yeah i can feel sadness, but it's almost like my body isn't allowing itself to feel heartache. i'm blocking out my own emotions. i think some of it is intentional, but a lot of it is unintentional.

i also think i have a mild case of agoraphobia..or something related to it. i've found that i've developed a major anxiety when it comes to going somewhere new or unfamiliar by myself. i also have a weird phone anxiety when i have to call someone i don't know or like an office or something. i get all freaked out and then i can't get myself to do it. that's part of the reason why it takes me so long to get shit done. i'm afraid to go somewhere by myself and i'm afraid to call the place.

man i've got issues.

cool.

I've always had a case of that phone anxiety, still do. I could speak openly and clearly to anyone face to face...but over the phone, I'm like "uhhhhhhhh I'm Kenny hi and umm uhhhhhh I need this ummmmmm uhhhhh yeah....ok bye" I get pissed at myself over how professional I sound.

Anyways Rose, I have no good advice lol I just go by the saying: in time, everything falls in its place. Hope you'll be ok.

yeah, I get like that too. That's why Chad makes almost all of the phone calls at our place, lol. I've got social anxiety up the wazoo, which is why I like drinking, because it helps me loosen up so much and actually feel somewhat normal.

Anyway, point being, you are not weird. Or at least...you are no more weird than I am. Maybe we're both just weird, lol. But I'm pretty sure there's a lot of other people out there who hate calling strange people and going to strange places by themselves.

and...sorry about the boy/parent situation. :(

I dunno dude... just my take on the thing, but I think you're past the age where your parents get to do that, "Not Allowed" thing.

Relationships are hard, doubly at a distance... I don't think there's anything wrong with emotionally withdrawing when you're under pressure. You just gotta make sure that when you've had a little while to regroup, you open up again. Can't stay emotionally cold your whole life - it's no fun, and you'll miss out on all kinds of things.

As for not feeling heartache... maybe it's just not there to feel? Or if it is, then clearly you're feeling it - because you know it's there. Or perhaps it's like if you rub one section of your arm for too long, or have some little noise going on for too long - eventually you habituate to it and it doesn't register in your conscious thought anymore.

To social anxiety - lot of us deal with it. I know I certainly do. You just gotta muscle through. : ) Or if it's too overwhelming, maybe look into some therapy? It can definitely be helpful.

Good luck, buddy. If you ever want to go out for another piece of pie sometime, gimme a call.

Incidentally, we're having a drinking occasion at my place tonight. You ought to show.
