Q: Unsure On How to Label My Feelings.

well. My names jack im 18 living with my family who have no idea whats been going through my mind these last couple years. I guess ill begin when i was 16, i was bullied a lot at school everyday i would look for somewhere to hide from the fear of being bullied somewhere small, hidden from watching eyes.

Of course at the time being 16 shy and had no confidently in myself and what i should do. i ran and hid everyday from the bully's and eventually myself, i grew to believe everything they said to me.
My apparence my feelings were controlled by them after i realized i wasn't getting anywhere in school i convinced my mother to allow me to drop out of high school without giving a good reason only an excuse again running from my problems.

i had very few friends only one i open up to but doing all i could to make sure she didn't say anything to anyone after i left school i barely saw her or talked to her i fell into my own black hole of sadness, confusion wondering who i really am.

ive had my fair share of girl friends loving them all differently but loving them truly constantly heart broken i became fearful of loving someone. when convinced to open up im used and thrown aside complete disregard of my feelings. all i have done is care for other people its who i am my friends and people close to me always come first, i never turn away i do everything i can to help them without thinking of whats happening to me.

Happy on the outside, my heart bleeding and torn on the inside fighting everyday to hide my emotions trying harder and harder not to cry, i want to cry now as i open up asking for help but ill end up questioning if i really should be doing this.
I have no motivation to do anything currently living in a house that needs work done to it but i always want nothing to do with it. staying up late like i am now to 7-9am then sleeping the day away with no social life other than an occasional txt from friends. i wake up at 6-8pm and end up going in a circle seeing no point in my existence.

Trying everyday to find someone to love that could understand me, but no one wants a depressed wreck like me i know i wouldnt want me im a passionate romantic but it still wouldnt change anything.

i feel sad, angry, disappointed in myself, depressed, lonely, and so much more i cant seem to name at the moment. each feeling feeding the next as i think of a way out, ive had 3-4 nights thinking hard about suicide but i cant leave the ones i love, im sure if i was alone i wouldnt be here is all im saying earthbound by the ones i care so much for yet they have no clue whats going on.
5-6 people i care for so much i would give my life and soul for their happiness give up anything for them to lead a life i havent even dreamed of...a fairytale.

cant stop crying now so ill say good bye. any reply at all i would greatly appreciate even just a new friend i can talk to.
love jack forever

Hey You Are Not Alone !!
You can have my shoulder to cry on.
Let me tell you my story. I still have these problems but I see it only as a situation which will change my life for BETTER.
A)I have lost my job from the company where I worked faithfully for 10 years.
B) I have some 25 million debt to pay off for the house I bought with NO job to pay the mortgage.
C)My wife had desserted me for a year eventhough I loved her with all my heart but fortunately my love prevailed and she has come back to me.
D)My son suffered with asma like condition who is just 3 years old and could not breathe in the night and could not sleep at all but by God's grace has recovered now and is well.
E)I suffer from slip discs and suffer intense backpain at night and cannot sleep whole night because of it.

I should have died long along if I did not have to take care of my family with 2 little children to take care of.I see the twinkle in thier eyes and it makes me cry at heart.

You say you love, your loved ones that you can die for them.
Well I would say your purpose for coming in this world is to LIVE FOR OTHERS.
You will get satisfaction only if you care for them and fulfill your responsibilties for them.
IF you don't fullfill your responsibilties NOBODY ELSE WILL.
DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE THEM UNSATISFIED , AS ORPHANS ?
You say you care for them then don't you think you have lot of work to do.
You just be with these loved ones and you will find that they carry immense value in thier life for you.YOU ARE VERY VERY VALUABLE.
Start thinking positively, read some good positive thinking books, inetrnet provides a lot of very very good listening tapes,CD's, videos and mateial.

I found some and have listed in my blog one is about how to change your thinking in life. Affirmations by Peggy Mchole are also helpful. Just have a look and cheer up.
You have lot to live for.

Hello Jack, great to read your post. I would say first to see a therapist if you have not already. (sorry if you have already said this). Its a great way to sort things out! Finding the right one you feel comfortable with is the key. Just always know you are not alone, I am sure within minutes of reading this forum you have seen that. Stay strong in your day to day challenges. A better day is coming to those who are in pain. My biggest piece of advice to you besides seeing a professional, would be to TAKE CARE OF YOU, always lend a open hand to others and give. But never lose yourself, because you is all you have above all else. Love yourself and nurture your heart as you do to others. I say this because I am similar to you in that I find peace and happiness in seeing others happy and taken care of. The one problem with this is that although others are happy, I neglected myself. Whenever you give love to yourself you are better able to care for others. Keep in touch, and if you ever need a friend or someone to talk to just let me know. Keep your held high.
