I can't do things i want to

There is so much stuff i wish to do i.e go out jogging early in the morning but i can't because i am so nervous afraid that something will go wrong like most things in my life, i am so low in confidence

I think its because i stand out because i have been tall all my life i got bullied severly because of my height and i dont want it to happen again,

Just do it man, go out and have a good jog. You'll feel better for yourself and realise there's nothing to worry about.

yeah, give it a try :)
if you go early enough it'll be pretty quiet anyway? if you think it might help arrange to do it with someone for support n also because then you'll feel an obligation to this person after they've got up tp go jogging with you, hehe! (if that makes sense :S)

Hey there i really feel for you i was severly bullied at school and it left me with very little confidence and i dont go out very much. I have to admit that it gets me down at times but i plod on and do my best. Im scared to go out to. So yes i really feel for you, i know what its like to not be able to do the things that you want because you have little confidence.

The only time i go out is to go to college or when i go out with my parents other than that i dont really go out much. Sorry iv waffled on about myself here but what i want you to know is that your not alone here ok, your very welcome to pm me anytime. Il do my best to support you. I was just wondering whether you had any support at all? Like a counsellor? Are your parents quite supportive?

Best wishes Ian

Thank you for all of your advice i will take it on board, i dont have a dad never seen him and my mum doesn't know i have gone down hill again and neither has my gf i dont want to upset them it will make me feel bad, i haven't got a counsellor because i felt i didn't help me so i dont know what else to do, i am trying to recover but i am finding it to hard.

Hey hun. First *hugs* because it must be so hard to deal with all the conflicting emotions of wanting so much to do something and yet being unable too. My only piece of advice would be to try it, but maybe just a little at a time. Say wake upearly and just jog to the end of your road. You'll be able to see if you feel comfortable or not. I go to work at around 6:45 in the morning and it's usually just me about at that time!! So just do little steps and make yourself feel comfortable. If you don't like it, it's fine. Maybe try a different time or a different day. Good luck xx
