Please help?
my brother was a drug seller/addict the last 5 years,
and my friend killed herself last month.
i don't know what to do. im just so caught up.
maybe everyone is right im just a mistake. i just want to end my life. i am no longer happy.
Answer:
It's never easy being a teenager. I know because I was there not too long ago.
Don't pay any attention to your mom. Most likely she has her own issues, and sometimes takes it out on you.
And I want you to know, I'm proud of you for not following in your brother's footsteps. You need to find a new crowd to hang out with. Just be with positive people. Join some clubs at school - things you're interested in - this way you'll be influenced and make friends with like-minded people, and it will also keep you away longer from your mom and her criticisms as well as your brother.
Have you ever considered a support group for teens? That could be helpful. If you're religous, it's very likely you could find a religious support group, that would welcome you with open arms and show you how beautiful life can be.
As for your friend, it's ok if you're grieving. It's ok if you want to cry, punch a pillow, talk to someone. Just allow yourself to express your feelings and don't keep everything inside. Once you can successfully express your feelings in a better way, I know you'll feel a lot better. Just try to find a hobby, or something to keep you busy!
And just try to find someone you trust, or even a counsellor or teacher at school or someone else to talk to. Trusted adults and trusted friends who can offer you the support you really need is what you should be looking for.
Life is worth living, don't give up on it. I know you can do this. Message me if you want to talk, or just need to rant. I can be a good listener. Take care =)
EDIT: If individual therapy doesn't work for you, have you ever tried group therapy, where you could get to talk and share similar experiences with teenagers around your age? I think that would really help. Being able to talk to people who've gone through what you're going, can really help you understand and get over what you're feeling. So give it a chance, and don't give up. I know you can do this. You sound like a very smart guy, because you realized what was wrong, and wanted to fix it, so you asked for help!
Good luck.
do you have a support group you can talk to or close friends? how old are you? can you move away to college soon (that's something to look forward too, you don't want to end your life without experiencing college :)
I would suggest getting out of your circle, obviously is isn't helping in your healing and coping with depression. Don't give up till you've tried different avenues for treatment too, like massage, acupuncture, chinese medicine, shiatsu, etc. I believe there are definatlely other treatments that aren't just pills that have a good chance of helping you out.
Please consider them. After all, what are you going to do with your one wild and precious life?
what if this is our only time around here, sure it sucks for you now, but it could get really awesome and crazy, and that might be fun, right?
I understand where you are coming from because I have been there, a little different circumstances, but alot the same. It's hard being at your age and feeling as though you don't have a purpose and that you have no one that understands you,...bu t please believe that there are alot of ppl out there that feel the same way you do..there are different from you because they haven't done what you have...and that is ask for help. I know you say that you have been to therapy and have been on medications, and I know it must be so frustrating when you have done all that and it still doesn't help...but no matter what...don't give up...you are worth the fight. You just gotta keep pushing forward until you find what works for you....and there is something out there, it just hasn;t been easy for you.
Try and see if there is a support group in your area, or a place that specializes in youth counseling, sometimes when you go to these therapists, they don't really know how to handle ppl your age, and in that sense they fail at what they were trying to accomplish.
All I can tell you is that it will get better, don't pay attention to your mother, she sounds as though she has some issues of her own. You go ahead and watch all the movies you want, you have to do what makes you happy and dont listen to others judging yourlikes and dislikes..I wish you the best of luck and I will pray for you
