I think I am getting a hard lesson in adulthood. For years I have avoided taking responsibility for the various aspects of my life and now I am paying the price. Getting fired from my job I think was the nail in the coffin of my immaturity so to speak. Now, I am facing things and situations that I don’t really know how to deal with. as in the past, I have asked others for help. As if I wanted them to try to solve the problem for me. I’ve never dealt with these difficult situations before. At 29 years old, I feel pretty ashamed of myself and my inability to take care of myself. I guess this is a culmination of the last 10 years. A culmination of not taking care of my ADHD and depression symptoms. A culmination of not taking responsibility for my life. A culmination of not having any direction in life. I guess I could blame my perents for this, but I dont want to get into the blame trap because this causes one to avoid taking responsibility. However, I cant help but think how different things would be if I had some kind of role model in life. Some person to look up to and kick me in the ass when I was younger. I think this is the pain of not having a father in my life. I dont think I ever dealt with this issue. has been right on some things about the way I have been. I’ve been oblivious to to my behaviors, but maybe I just didnt want to take responsibility. this is a hard pill to swallow, but maybe there is something to this. Looking back, I always sought an escape from my problems through video games, television, internet and alcohol. I’ve done this to the point where now I dont know how to handle things. this brings me back to what I was originaly writing about. I’m learning a really hard lesson in life.
When confronted with all these problems, my immediate reaction is to ignore it, to put it off and simply not worry about it or let register how serious the problem is. I seek escapes such as the internet, alcohol, or video games. I give up too easily. I have no self confidence, self esteem and asertiveness. All of this I also didn’t work on because I just felt that it was easier to isolate myself from people. I might have learned that as a defense mechanism while I was in high school. this however is not working for me anymore.

How do I make some honest change?

OK..so I know this guy, he is a friend of mine.We have been friends for about a year,maybe year and a half.Anyways, when I am around him I feel all these strong feelings for him. He also has VERY strong feelings for me.I have felt this way pretty much since the day I met him and we tried to date once,but I stopped it and this is why…
He has emotional problems and has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and OCD,plus depression and maybe one other…not for sure.Now,that doesn’t bother me too bad b/c I have experienced a lot of these problems myself,but I have learned to overcome them for the most part,or at least cope in healthy ways.HE however uses pills and alcohol to numb his pain.He won’t talk much to me about these things,but he knows that I don’t like them,but since we are not together he said he sees no point in giving them up.I feel like he thinks me being with him will cure everything,but I know it won’t.I care for him deeply, but I don’t want to date him like this. HELP!!!
