Is there a way out?

[Gender-Unknown]

I just need someone to talk to.

There is so much going on right now it's all very overwhelming.

Basically my life is a comedy of errors at the moment. Nothing is going to plan and there is one thing in particular that is killing me at the moment and I can't really tell anybody.

Is there something I can do?

I know it's not really helping by saying what's wrong, but I'll just say it's illegal..

You can talk to me if you want. I'm not going to judge you, and I know what its like to REALLY need someone to talk to about something, but so does probably most people on here. The only thing you can really do is tell someone I guess. I'm open to listen, and I can't really do much about whatever it is, even if it is illigal. Feel free to PM me if you want. Then the whole of VT doesn't need to know.

It has always been easier for me to speak of personal concerns in metaphors and loose abstractions. Perhaps you may find sanctuary in something similar.

When experiences become overwhelming, the only real option one has is to take everything step by step, moment by moment. There's no point in attempting to make logical sense of things while in a state of chaos, it only contributes to confusion. Hold on tight, ride the waves out, and begin the search for answers when all has begun to calm. It will.

I'll be around, if you ever wish to speak confidentially in greater detail. Hope you soon find inner peace and clarity of mind.

Well this is basically the story.

I am best friends with someone who's Dad works in crime. And I've been going along with him and his dad and getting involved with all this stuff.

I have done things I'm not proud of and I want to get out of this. However I fear for my safety because the people I've been working for have threatened me and they say I've "gone past the point of no return."

I don't know what to do to get out..

Well?

I'm not sure what exactly to say, as my knowledge of the issue at hand is very limited. Of course, you are under no obligation to disclose any details unless you are fully comfortable doing so. If there is anyone in your life who is familiar with your involvement, perhaps they are the best ones to approach if it's specific, situation-oriented advice that you seek.

In any dilemma or state of confusion, it's important to listen to one's own intuition - and trust that it knows the best way. All choices are scary and uncertain; all actions are accompanied with some degree of risk. Regardless of what lies at the end of any path, what matters is that the journey was taken without regret.

I've been doing illegal things for $$$ and as favours and I don't want to continue doing them.

I have been threatened numerous times because I have said I want to leave the 'organisation' and stop. I can't tell the police because then they will get me.

It's a catch-22 situation..

Live for yourself. Find something that they care about more than keeping you and use that to your advantage.

Good point.

I'm just trying to come up with a (almost) speech like talk in which I can just let them go slowly and without making them angry or something. "Time for me to move on" or something. :cool:

Let you know how it goes tomorrow..
