Resources for the Anchor?

Sometimes i feel like I'm the one who holds most of my friends and family in place by being the rational, emotionaly available guy. Rightn ow, I'm in the library feeling pretty burned out, and unable to focus on my school work. My mind flashes from point to point and my focus is gone.

Any clues who I can talk to with the following in place
-Family is not an option
-The one friend I could talk to is going through a break up
-I Have no church or gods
-I don't have any family friends or university contacts I feel comfortable with.

 

You sound a lot like me. I have strayed away from many former friends because they would do nothing but dump their emotional shit all over me. They all miss me because being my friend was like getting free therapy, and for that same reason I do not miss them. I don't really have any ideas as to who you can talk to, for I have instead turned inward and found peace from that, but I just thought I'd let you know you're not the only one.

 

Do you keep a journal? If you have no one to open up to right now, that might be a good way to go.

 

I journal, once and a while when I need to vent. Right now that's not much help though :/

Turning inward. Yes i would love to do that, but I have difficulty doing that with my current situation. You see lace , right now I get the emotional demands from someone closer, and my friends, well lets say as a scorpo there are few peopel I realy trust.

Life's pretty crazy some time.

 

Open yourself up brother. Whether you use somebody else to talk to in order to help open you up, or to just yourself, whatever does the trick for you. Open up to life, do what you FEEL. Follow your heart, it knows the way for you to go, nobody else. Other people can help you get in tune with your heart, and so can music, yoga, rock climbing, hiking, praying, and a bunch of other things. Don't get caught in the thinking that life is not magical, because every ounce of it is crackling and sparkling with energy and vibrance when we clear ourselves up to it. Healthy diets and tea can potentially help us a LOT in our lives too.
Peace and love to ya.
