I'm not alive, except in body, and that's burdened by constant tiredness and head pains. Not to mention how I feel emotionally. I'm isolated, I'm lonely, I dropped out of high school a year ago and haven't attempted to finish, I'm jobless at 18 and still living with my alcoholic parents who fight every night. And I don't have the physical or mental energy to even begin to change this. People think it's a matter of willpower and 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps', 'you have to want it', 'nothing will change unless you do'. But they don't understand. If you can't, you can't. I know that nothing will get better unless I do something, but that's the thing - I do not have the mental or physical energy to do anything. I just can't see a future for myself.

I know
exactly how you feel. Sometimes you need someone to step in and take charge for you. To pick you up and get you moving. It doesn't matter how much
you want it. I've experienced this. A very good person came into my life at that time and truly made a difference for me. Forced me to socialize and get out in the world. Whether you have a friend, relative, T, or just someone on PC, I hope you somehow find the strength to continue and start to feel better. Take small steps. I found that as much as I couldn't pull myself out of bed or home, if I was forced to get outside and be around people, it improved my mental state. Isolation is what we feel we want, and that is usually not the best place for us to be. xxx
