Finally back again!

Soo, I have been away from WA for a few weeks, or rather a couple of months. During this time I have hardly done anything at all. I have only published one or two posts on my website and I have not blogged or been active in the discussions here at WA.

So, how come? Have I given up? No, not really, but I just did not find the energy to work nor was I able to concentrate on what I was doing. I was completely overwhelmed by just about everything. There was plenty of other things to in my daily life as well but I only managed to do the strict minimum. Right now I am feeling overwhelmed by just about everything in every day life. I get confused and nervous and find it difficult to concentrate. Instead of working on my site, I go to other (often x rated) websites which gives some temporary satisfaction but which does nothing to improve my life or economic situation.

I drive a truck and every time the police pulls me over I almost freak out, still everything has turned out fine, they have been polite and correct and all my papers and the truck has been in order but I just can't control my nerves, it is like I am always waiting for something bad to happen.

A bad economic situation (and an ever overspending wife) does not help either.

This state of mind makes it difficult to work and move forward but I have decided that somehow I need to get back to working on my marketing again. Hopefully this will give me some structure in life and with a bit of self discipline I will get back on my feet and get back to work. What I plan to do is to set up a few goals (they will be easy and modest) make a plan for how to do it and then just follow it step by step.

First thing will be to start creating content. The sitehealth of my website has seriously gone down due to me neglecting it and when this is done, I will need to find a traffic strategy that works, so far this has been my biggest problem. Very little traffic. If I can get traffic, write a few more product reviews and add an e-mail optin form to my site then I think success will not be to far away.

This post has been quite personal and not directly related to internet marketing but I just felt it was important anyway, because if you are depressed or otherwise mentally imbalanced it is very hard to get some work done. So sometimes you have to work on your self before you can work on anything else. I hope that makes sense.

I am happy to back again.

Cheers,

Jojo

I have found that requesting comments is a great way to boost my traffic and Google rank. If you give good comments and get good comments in return it can really pay off.

As for your anxiety there are many natural supplements that can help with that. Have you ever taken magnesium or potassium?

I hope it works out for you and you get some traction here.

Thank you.
I have been making comments and it has given a little traffic but I need much much more traffic. I will try to make some more though and I am also searching for other ways of getting traffic.
As for the anxiety it is getting better and think I will manage. Thanks for the tip though, I will keep it in mind because the anxiety might be back.
Cheers,
Jojo

It is good that you have started to change where you are. That is the key. If we are not where we want to be change it. No one else will do it for us.

You are soo right. The change has to be done by us but thankfully we can find support and help on our journey in this community.

Welcome back JoJo!
I am sorry to hear of your disposition. There are many people struggling with Social Anxiety or Posttraumatic dis order. This is very common among adolescents and adults. The good thing is that these conditions are curable.

Feel free to talk about your daily life. Let go, of things that weighs you down. Have you inquired about an anti-depressant to help you along the way. This therapy works for some.

Continue to engage with the community here at WA. You have many people here that work with people as a living. The service is free just ask. Trust one or two or all, and do not shun nor isolate yourself.

We are all humans and can experience this as well. So remember we love you, and you are not alone.

Cheers, and Great Success Ahead!

Thank you soo much Louisa. This really warms my heart.
I do think that I will manage without antidepressants but support from others will really do a lot of good. From now on I will stay active here at WA and try to move forward and interact with other members. And if anyone would need my help then I am here to give a helping hand.

Love!

Jojo

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I will get back to work now. What I should have done however is to reach out to my fellow WA members when I faced difficulties instead of leaving everything and staying away. This is the advice I always give to others but well, I guess I am not the only one who fail to follow his own advice.

Welcome back again buddy is always good to take a break so your mind comes with better ideas.

Hi Jojo, it took a lot of courage to face your situation, take action and write this post. So I am sure you have the determination to get where you want to go. Looking at the 'big picture' can often be overwhelming, accomplishing several small tasks can sometimes be more motivating! Keep going and try to keep talking to the people here who are so supportive! Good luck, Sue :)

welcome back and it never hurts to take a break as you come back refreshed!!!

Paul

We all need time away and a fresh start, bro. Glad you are back and are making a commitment to better your situation. Stick to it this time, keep your eye on the ball and you will succeed!
