I feel so alone in life
Posted: 06-29-08 17:00pm

Hello im a 16 year old female and for the past 3 years i have felt so alone in life.
I have messaged on this ehealth before and the person gave me some good advice but yet i am still feeling the way i am.
I am missunderstood in the family. My family has been through alot with my sisters drug abuse and abusing her children and having to bring them up. Its causing us to all fall apart and i seem to never see or spend time with my parents.
Two years ago i also thought i was gay and i reduced myself to self harming.
My life never seems to get better, i have had councilling in school but it does not seem to have worked and i darnt go to my doctor because i dont know how i would explain myself and i think my parents would be very angry with me for going behind their backs..

What am i to do? Please any advice would be welcoming

You're sister is having a negative effect on all of you and that is hard to go through.

Hun there's nothing wrong with being gay. You're not doing anything wrong. There are a lot of gay people in the world. If you're having a hrd time dealing with it could you perhaps go and talk to a psychologist. You could also talk to them about your family life . Sounds like you could be a bit depressed. You're whole family could probably do with some therapy conserning your sister. That way you wouldn't be going behind their back.

Hi and welcome back,
You are like looking at myself in a mirror. Harmony is right. Living with a disfunctional family is one of the hardest thing to go through. I say this because it can get so bad and depressing, you loose control on reality and really don't know who you are anymore. I am as straight as a pin and have gone through exactly what you have. Thinking you are gay, is probably your way of trying to make yourself an outlet and find out who you are because it has become a daily routine for you to coupe with reality. So, by thinking you were gay would be one hurdle your would be able to escape to in order to find some reality for yourself. Does that make sense? Of course self harm is another way to justifiy your inner non confidence and the disoray in your life. You seem to be looking for a way out somehow and you can't find it.
I agree....I think you should try talking to your parents about this. Believe it or not, if nothing else, you will feel a feeling of weight being taken off of you. By holding this all in is doing you more harm then good. The road ahead would be so much better if you could get yourself back into reality somehow.
Just know we are here for you. But, you need to take this one step futher.

Carrie

I understand this yes, i have tried plenty of times to talk to both my parents but they dont seem interested. ive told them i feel depressed, i even told my mum i wanted to kill myself and she laughed at me. I feel so trapped and isolated in life that i just dont want a part of it. I dont like going out with friends and i dont like being with family. I jusst want to be alone.

Its so hard to explain what i feel to other people, it was hard enough talking to a councillor. i really scare myself somtimes because my mind turns disgusting, my thoughts and feelings just dont feel normal to what other people would think and feel and i just dont fit in with this family. If somthing goes wrong its my fault.

I just want to thankyou both for your kind words, i hope i can stay in touch with you both.

thankyou, i am glad there are people here to talk to.

Life isnt to great at the moment. I cant seem to shake my feelings off and at least try to look and act normal infront of people and they get mad that im not happy. My mum and dad are always at my throat and ive lost 2 friends in the space of 24 hours. So i dont really have anything to really look forward to and no one to talk to.

I hope you are well XxXx

Sorry Lynne i just found this post. All that in my bullitin is only half of it. There are so many things to say about it and i dont seem to get the words out. This might sound weird to you but i feel and know that you care and i dont get that from my parents. they dont act like im there. Im trapped in this house until i leave university. Its mental torture, i actualy feel i am going crazy and i cant stand it. Non of my friends want to know me because of my self harming and being sick, they think im a freak or are just getting bored of me. I spend most of my time in my room just sitting there hoping my mum or dad will come upstairs and sit on my bed and just hope that they ask me what is wrong. I have so much to tell them but i know they wont listen. I have no way of expressing my feelings naturally.
I feel like im the only person in the world who feels like this but i know there are millions. The whole situation is just lonley to be honest.

I want to thankyou for your support, i really appreciaite it,

Jade

My heart goes out to you. I really wish I had a magic wond that would make everything better. I would use it for everyone on this board including myself. Depression is a very hard wieght to carry around with you. It can get so bad, you can't see a light at the end of the tunnel. You have to be strong through these times. It is your streangh that will make you or break you. It is mental torture at the least.

My thoughts are with you,
Carrie

Ya know, sometimes major depression puts us so far away from reality, we are really unable to help ourselves. That is where intervention comes in.

Thankyou, but i doubt things will still get better at my end. Nothing ever does to be honest, its just starting to become a way of life. I wake up feeling depressed and alone and i go to sleep the same. No one talks to me or asks me whats wrong so it basically seems im not there. I could do with a real hug right now. Im sat in the porch while my mum is having cuddles with my niece watching Maury & Jerry Springer Crying
or Very sad Mad . Im really glad i found you.

i already feel i am out of reality. The way i feel has become apart of my life, as i told my fairy godmother =]. But what can i do to change it, im a loner, im fat, unpopular, im stupid, what could i possibly do. My parents arnt bothered to help me and if they feel that way whats to say that i am really worth caring about. Somtimes i dont even feel im here, like this is just a different place that ive adjusted to, that it isnt even real and i pray to god that it finishes and i will have my old life back. I never wake up though, thats the problem, im stuck like this. Does it all seem worth it, no.

Well girlfriend, we're just gonna have to get you back to reality, Like the song says "Back to life, back to reality" I love that song. First of all my dear friend, you have to consintrate on the more positive side of your live. Thee has to be some ya know. Negitivity will always lead you down the wrong road.
And yes, tring is well worth it! Only you can get yourself out of the lifestyle. Pick yourself up. You say you are to fat. Join a spa and give yourself something to work at and a goal to reach. Make some short term goals and stick to them. Us Bipolar have a big habit of not finishing what we started. This is one of the hardest things I have found in life to concour.

Your right about this i know, negativity isnt good but it is just the way of life now, i a mtrying to change. I do understand what you mean about the children, my parents have made the right choice but at my expense. I see the love & effection they are given everyday and i am given non.
They are malicious and evil and i dont like to be near them whatso ever, they always get me into trouble, i know that this may sound stupid and jealous but to me its alot more serious. I always wonder what my life owuld be like if my parents just had me and my brothers, non of this would have happend. I feel i dont belong in my own home.
I have joined gyms before and excerise classes but quit after a few times because people would stare at me and i would get paranoid, so i stop going out. I do try and take on board everything people tell me but i just wish everyone could see the way i live through my eyes, which i know is impossible.

May i ask what bipolar is?

thankyou for your adive

Jade
