I’ve been feeling quite stressed lately. I feel like I have little control over my life.
I’m 20 years old and have my own car, but I have to tell my mother when I leave the house and when I’ll come back. If I don’t tell my mother when I’ll come back or if I decide to stay out later and don’t notify her she will get stressed out.
I want to be able to practice my faith to the fullest, but I’m very impulsive and I also have a fear of offending people. I often say things I don’t mean to my parents because I didn’t think before I spoke. I also fail to admonish people when they go against God or break the law (not fastening seatbelts in my car) because I don’t want to offend them, but in my heart I want to tell them to follow the rules.
I want to date a practicing Catholic woman around my age, but I don’t see too many of them and I am afraid of asking them out. I’d also be afraid to tell my parents because I’d feel they’d disapprove. I’d also be afraid that they’d already have a boyfriend.
My parents go away all the time for the weekend while I stay home. I always get anxious when they are away because of fears of burglars or people hiding in the house. I even want to stay in a motel instead sometimes because I know nobody is hiding there and I know there are people nearby.
Aarrrgh. I’m very stressed out. College is another heavy burden on my shoulders. The classes, the never ending homework.
The only things I feel I have control over is how I dress, going to church, and hanging out with friends. That’s about it.
Please pray for me! Pray that I overcome my fears through the grace of God. Thank you!
