Lost.

Ugh lately I've been feeling down. <br>Dog shows aren't going well.<br>I might be going to my very last one in December. We'll see...<br><br>Reasons:<br>1. I don't have much fun at shows anymore, I always feel like I did something wrong and I feel in trouble all the time. [I've never actually done anything to get myself in trouble at a show though.]<br><br>2. I haven't placed first in a class since.. May.. And there were only two people in that class.<br><br>3. I don't know if I'll ever reach my three main goals, getting a best junior, going to nationals, and winning a national. [Not all in one year though. Starting with the best junior one.]<br><br>4. I just don't feel good at it..<br><br>5. I don't have that much money, so I can't go to many shows. Usually once a month.. Not even both days of a two day show.. <br><br>Shows were once my dream, now they feel like a nightmare.<br>I feel like I don't know as much as many people, so people think I'm uneducated about it... Not many people I know would be willing to teach me..<br>I work for a handler.. But she yells at me any chance she gets...<br><br>I just don't know what to do anymore...<br><br>I'm 15, went into Open Senior in May... And... Well I don't know what to do...<br><br>Yes, winning isn't everything, but losing all the time makes me feel like I'm being judged by other handlers and other juniors, and not in a good way..<br><br>I don't feel good at anything anymore..<br><br>I also feel like posting things like this and talking about things like this makes people think I'm just a pathetic person who has nothing better to do than complain...

Back in action?

  • That in no way makes you a pathetic person. <br><br>Try and remember why you fell in love with showing in the first place. Don't try and talk yourself into it - you need to experience that feeling again. <br><br>If it's completely gone, maybe you just lost your passion for it. That happens.

    <br>Also if you let it go. If you get passion for it again,its ment to be,but if you dont,you can always find something else to do!

  • Maybe you should stop showing for awhile,, take a break maybe. If you have a desperate urge to do it again then do it. If not move onto a different hobby. :P
