Theres no point in even trying anymore. I try to talk to my friends about me being upset and they either dont care or have other things to worry about. I dont know how much more I can take of this. Everyone would be better off with out me. Theres no point in me even talking to someone professional about it, they wont care. I havent done my homework for about 4 weeks and now Im really behind at school. I hope I dont wake up tomorrow, because another day just brings me more pain, and Im not sure how long I can go before a total meltdown.
Somebody please help me

((((((((((((((((((((((((((jessica)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I am so sorry that things are so hard for you right now. I know how terrible it can feel and hopeless. Please reconsider finding a t to talk to. It can be so helpful to have someone to talk to about your feelings and thoughts. Even though it may now seem like they won't care I think that you will find that they will. Maybe you can give it a try and see how it goes.
Can you get some help catching up with your schoolwork? Maybe go to the teachers and explain how you have been and see what they can do? Hopefully they will be understanding and be able to help you. Know you are not alone and that I care.  BB

stick around awhile jessica... you can find some really caring people who care here.. also, check into a therapeutic relationship with someone capable of showing you kindness and intelligent ways of managing these thoughts of worthlessness you are having.. things can get better but you have to really want it.. good luck always..

Well, Jessica, I don't know the culture around here so I don't know if this is tolerated or not but I'm a blunt person. I like for people to be straight with me and I'm straight with them... and I have something to say to you.
Why should they care if you don't care? Do you care about yourself? Do you want the best for yourself? Do you want the best for your friends and family? Do you want to succeed at school? If the answer is yes, and I bet it is... then, you have to start letting people know that you do care and that you care deeply. That you don't want to be depressed and that you miss your life where you could easily keep up with the world's expectations for you. Maybe don't start out by listing your problems... maybe start out by saying, "I want...." "I want to be able to catch up on my schoolwork... can you think of any ways it might be easier for me to do that?" "I want to be able to talk to you guys when I'm upset... is there anything I can do that might make it easier for you to listen?" I don't know how you usually approach people and I hope I didn't assume too much... I'm just working on ideas because I do care... and I'd bet if I'm a stranger and I care... that some people that know and love you care too. Help them help you Jessica. You can do this... I know you can... If it turns out that you are surrounded by a bunch of self-absorbed people, which could be possible, then you'll need to stop looking to them to help... because continuing to do so will only cause you more pain. Reach beyond them or look into yourself... It sounds like you've had negative experiences with professionals in the past but you could always keep trying until you find one with whom you can click. Good luck with things. I bet you are a strong girl, you'll pull through this soon... keep your head above water. |

is the truth that no one cares, or that you havent met them yet?

People saying I dont care on here isnt helping. I have cared about my friends, and they know it. They just dont return it. Saying I dont care and I havnt tried is just making me feel worse. Thanks people.

hi jessica, i just logged in and havent read any other posts you may have made elsewhere so i apologize if this is post-dated...
lets think about understandings for a minute... its ok to feel whatever you feel in this moment.. feelings are the materials of the moment.. we can choose them.... accept yourself for who you are... figure out the place you want to be.. there are a lot of factors involved in arriving to that place... we all desire peace and happiness, love and kindness, caring and friendships... decide you WILL have those in your life no matter what else might be happening... you can claim it for yourself right now and there is no person or thing which can stop you from feeling joy if you choose too... so knowing that, recognize the powerful ability you have to produce the exact emotion you want to feel.. even if only for a moment, it is you who made it real within yourself... you only need to extend the period of time you feel it for now... what things can give you those feelings? instead of aiming for the physical objects to provide you with those emotions, claim those emotions from thin air, from out of nowhere so to speak.. those emotions are yours simply because you can create them without any other stimuli... thats an amazing ability.. you can use that power any time you choose to feel better... give yourself permission to feel better and it can then happen... love yourself first and you can then love others to the fullest... no one intended harm i'm sure jessica.. let love in and it is able to do what you imagine it will.... i hope today is better for you in some way.. |

jessica,
when i was 18 and horribly depressed i tried to get my friends to hear me. i told one that i stole my mom's upper pill and added it to my dad's alcohol. all she said was, "Gosh, Leslie, you're sure crazy"! i went to the counselors at my junior college and no one really saw me. i finally called a crisis line because i'd made a plan to harm myself and they got me in touch with some kids who'd developed a spiritual relationship with God. God was the one who was missing in my life. I found out He cared and He didn't abandon me or let me die. God became my foundadtion and He's been helping me for 37 years - many of which have been tough. maybe you have not gone down all the streets you need to travel? Please don't give up, there is help out there. leslie and the pixies
