i cant keep living like this. everyday waking up knowing that nothing is getting better. i keep failing at everything i do...no matter what is it. im hurting so much. and im stuck home with no where to go and no one to talk to. im getting these crazy thoughts of just wanting to hurt myself. and my parents are just making me miserable. GRRRR

i just wish i could wake up and everything can magically be okay again. but i know thats just impossible.

just hurting, crying, don't know what to do with myself.

You're right, sweety, it is impossible. So do what is possible...have you made it in to see the counsellor yet? You were so close...so very close. why not try again? Remember, I'm here with you. You don't need to go through this alone.

I felt the same exact way before, and sometimes I still get into spouts of deep depression and numbness like that. I know its hard, and a lot of people say it, but just be strong and hang tight. Just keep trying. Even though its very agravating, it just takes time. I hope you feel better soon

So put those doubts in their place...they are doubts, not facts. Can you go back again? You need someone IRL to talk this through on a consistant basis. Don't give up, you are not alone. Can you make a list of possible things to do to change things?

List the things that are the worst...things that have you feeling so bad....then next to them write anything you can think of that could change to make it better. Whether it seems possible or not. Make sure you focus on things YOU can change....you can't say
Mom is nagging at me---------->Make her stop nagging.
That obviously is just a simplistic example, but it has to be something YOU can control and the only thing you can control is YOU.

Try writing out things you would say if you were to see the counsellor right now. What would you tell him/her? Doing these may help you a bit...at least to put in focus what the issue is and how you can change it.

Home for the holidays isn't always what the songs make it out to be....but our life is what we will make it and I believe you want to make it so much better and I believe you CAN. Here with you to help you see you can do it!

Don't forget to get rest, too. Stressful situations tend to drain us, but we get so stressed we can't sleep or rest and that makes it worse. You are worth it and you can make it...slow though it may be.

FYI, this has helped me a lot lately between visits to my T and pdoc and it's relatively easy since when I'm miserable I usually want to vent anyway--if I have the energy. Any (healthy) thing you haven't yet done is worth a try to see if works for you.
