what do you do when...

[2HOT2touch]

what do you do when your overwhelmed with hurt and don't know why? and when you have this feeling like the world would be so much better with out you? and when you grew up way too fast and now feel like you need to fix and do everything? what do you do when you just can't take it anymore?

I don't know why I am like this, I don't know why I feel this way, but I'm scared and don't know what to do.

it sounds like mild depression. Tell your parrent , or another adult you trust that you feel this way. and definitly dont keep it bottled up. but i may be wrong

I was like that a lot of the summer.
My best friend and I got in a huge fight and didn't talk for three months. we both hit rock bottom, decided we need eachother. now we talk everyday. sure, we are in different groups of friends, but we need each other.

i usually just try an cool down by baking.

talk to your mom is another choice.

you can always talk to me.
I've gone thru alot.

[Miss Jessr!ca]

i know how that is.
i just go and play the crap out of my drums or guitar.
it helps. alot.
musics my escape.

 

[CrazyChik]

i sit on my own in my bedroom stare out the window or starte vaguely at something think of all the reasons why i feel like this then reflect on them and then think of all the good things that have hapened and all the good things that are going to happen.

it works for me.

i probably do have mild depression i just seem to hide it(which btw you should NOT really do. so tel someone who you trust and can make you feel better)

I agree that something like this you shouldn't keep to yourself. Talk to a friend or parent, or maybe the school counselor? Someone you can spill your feelings out to.

It's hard for me to talk to people, because I don't like people to see that I am weak. and talking about this kind of stuff I will start to cry because I never thought I would be like this EVER, I used to help people like this, and I don't like crying in front of people. I can't talk to my mom because she lives half way across the country while I am at school. I can't talk to my best friend because I am in boarding school and she is in public school 45 mins away and we have totally different scheduals, I can't talk to my bf because he is also in a boarding school about 20 mins away and again we have completely different scheduals. I don't want to talk to my advisor because of the whole pride thing and the fact that she will send me to a shrink and I have been going to a therapist since forever and they dont do ANYTHING!!! they just try and tell me how I should live my life and I don't take well to people telling me how to live my life. and it's hard to talk to anyone in my dorm because they all know that this girl and I are in a huge fight right now(who used to be one of my closest friends and we were pretty much best friends at one point) and she has this ability to manipulate people, and i don't want to say that she wont let people talk to me, its more of she knows I wont talk to them or they wont talk to me if she is with them, so she is constantly with them. I am seriously considering public school in the south. (which btw is a HUGE step for me, because the only reason I am in boarding school is because in 6th grade i decided that the public schooling system wasnt challenging enough for me, and that was the public schools in New England, now I live in TX and the public schools near me like lost their acredidation.) I just feel like my life is falling down around me and I can't do anything about it.

I am a ridiculously emotional person. And when I get like this I will just sit somewhere quiet and think. I don't get like that often but when I do I even cry sometimes. However you feel that you need to get it out, do it. Scream if you have to. It is not good to keep things bottled up and just remember that you have us.

 

[2HOT2touch]

thanks but i think thiking too much is what put me in this situation. When I think about my life, I start to think about how screwed up it is and how it would be so much better if I just wasnt here anymore. I think that is why I am doing so well in school because I tend to not think about my feelings and just focus on my work, and I am so focused that my grades go up but my depression gets deeper. I hate talking about my feelings, I can't even say I love you to my boyfriend.

It sounds like you're depressed and just don't want to bother anyone with it. Please, please talk to an adult in your life, don't try to handle this all on your own, that would be too much for anyone! If not your mom, then how about a family doctor? Family doctors can help deal with depression and if they think it's necessary, can prescribe an anti-depressant for situational anxiety/depression.

It seems like you've had a lot of changes to deal with lately, like friend trouble, moving, school, etc. Anyone would be overwhelmed by all of this at once, please don't see it as a sign of weakness! At your age, when things seem screwed up, it seems like it will be that way forever. I'm old and I speak form experience: this too will pass. Not a big help, I know, but it really will get better with time and perseverance. You have a lot to offer and the world is out there waiting for you. Take care of yourself and hang in there.

 

[AngienLuLu]

Never felt like that before.

I'm so sorry you are feeling like that. It will get better. I promise.

 

[caitlin]

When I was in eighth grade I felt like this until I was a sophomore, and then it started getting better. I still relapse I guess you could say? And have weeks or months that I just feel like crap. I like to go to a place where I'm all alone and just blare music until I've had a good cry, and I usually end up feeling a bit better. Is there something that you really like to do that you could just basically drown yourself in, like sports, music or writing? I never liked therapy and counselors all that much either. All they do is try and tell you how you feel, when really you're the only one that knows. I hope you feel better.

oops, i thought it said keep it bottled up

 

[DramaGirl]

no! that is compleatly wrong!

if you do that it will lead to bad things, trust me i know from exspeariance

what? what do you mean?

I agree with Steffi and Blumonkeyboy. Remember we're all here for you to talk to.

 

[Babyjustrun]

First, when I feel sad, I sit in my room with the door locked. Then I let myself cry. I'll listen to anything that will make me feel better (usually stuff that does make me cry, but it's great to know you're not the only one who feels like that).

I'll go to my friends house and just act foolish or sit in front of the tv. If I'm sad at school, I'll just talk to people who make me smile, laugh and scream (screaming for me is a good thing)

 

[DramaQueen]

That happens to me sometimes. I am ridiculously emotional and I cry ALL the time. I often think about growing up and I get scared and I feel like that.

It's really a part of growing up, you may or may not be depressed, either way you should tell someone that you feel comfortable talking to about how you feel.

I'm going through ALOT right now, and it's really hard. But i always try to put everything into perspective. Like "I know I'm hurting now, but in a few years I probably won't even remember this".
I always try to think positive, and tell myself that I will pull through.

There's nothing wrong with crying or screaming if you feel like it. Just don't keep it all bottled up. I feel good tlaking to my mom about alot of things, or if it's something I don't want to talk to my mom about I'll tell a close friend. Or my boyfriend.

Talking is always helpful. Don't ever feel like you're troubling someone with your problems. If you need to tell someone, do it. I'm sure anyone you're comfortable talking to will be willing to help you.

I really hope you feel better! I know how you're feeling and it's not nice. But trust me, everything will be okay, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Growing up is full of the highest highs and the lowest lows.

You are NOT sounding weak if you spill all your feelings. That's what you SHOULD be doing. You're not weak if you spill your feelings. The people that don't, however, are. Trust me, hun, the DIS boards was made so people can SAY things and make friends. If you can't find anyone to spill to, even though it's online, spill to us. Keeping your feelings will only make the pain hurt more. If they send you off to a shrink, don't be so nervous. Shrinks are here to help you, and that's another way to spill. So, go ahead and cry. It won't hurt.
