Old Lady, Young Soul

I'm double posting tonight.

The thing that is at the front of my mind right now is the odd combination of feeling old and worn down along with feeling like a lost child in a mall.

To delve deeper into this matter, I decided to list out what problems make me feel old and what make me feel young.
************************

Old:
          Being all sad and shit. I frequently get into these "moods" where I don't want to do anything but be sad. I just want to lay down and sleep, hopefully to "reset" my emotions. Sometimes, something triggers these emotions and other times I am just in a funk for no reason.

           Nightmares: These are part of the reason that I am up at this ungodly hour. I suffer from night terrors that will jolt me awake. I cannot get back to sleep for fear of just continuing the dream.

            Other People: I have always had a really difficult time connecting with people. I never seem to know what to do or what to say in any given situation/ I have a really hard time getting "social cues" and making eye contact. People write me off as awkward, clumsy or slow. It's awfully lonely.

            Money: then again, who doesn't that affect?

Young:
         Work: I have no idea what I am doing. I am a failure of a fast food server.

          School: I don't know what I want, or if my degree choice was the right one for me. Especially given how long it is going to take me to complete said degree. Not to mention the way that I am treated by the higher ups here, like I am an idiot and completely incompetent.

         The future: I don't know what the fuck I want to do after I graduate.

***********************

Listing these all out really did help. I'll post something about how I plan to rectify the problems that I am facing. Or at least, how to get a different and more positive outlook on the problems that I am facing. These are all very broad categories (minus the nightmares) and I chose not to go into great detail with any other them. We would have been here all night had I done that.
