Q: Totally Fed Up! Should i even be here ?

Hello! This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this so please bear with me and hear me out. As I’m a stubborn lad (unfortunately) and think I should deal with it all by myself, its took me 4 years now to talk about what’s really let me go in terms of why I don’t want to be here anymore.
I’m 20years old and have always been noted for the advantages I had back at school, like many others on here. I was one of them “popular lads” in the school and I was full of confidence and always had a Girlfriend (who always seemed to be the popular girl)… My head is already starting to rattle here. As a kid I always felt rejected in comparison to my brother, I was completely disregarded because I’m not the 'cuddly' type of son. I always sat by myself playing, and from a young age iv grown to know that if I don’t bother others, then they won’t bother me! That way I won’t get hurt anymore! Is this right?
I used to have tons of friends back at school. but now my best friend in the whole world is my nanna. sad I know. Plus I get the unconditional love from my two gorgeous baby sisters. Even though I do still try take care of myself, I feel I have let myself down in every way possible! I’ve had one suicide attempt failure after I finally stood up to everything and let it all out. I usually keep my emotions behind closed doors and I feel embarrassed if others see me. I even feel embarrassed now. I should be sat in a pub somewhere right now, watching Newcastle get beat, but that will just dampen any hope of getting back on track to the way I’m supposed to be. But this is so hard trying to put a feeling on paper, that’s probably why I’m babbling on. It’s on the tip of my tongue what I want to say, but I get a gut wrenching churn that makes me feel that I should suffer that little bit longer.
I’m too F**king emotionally intact with everything is my problem. I always put others first before me, which is a good thing I know. But I sometimes take it too far. I bought myself a jacket for 195, proper nice like!! But then ended up taking it back because I thought to myself…I used to buy this and not give a caca….but now I feel selfish if I did that. Instead with the money I went and got a cheap weekend away for my nanna because she was worrying about things at home too much. I’m no saint so don’t think I am. I just care a lot for others to be happy! Anybody else would do the same, but people have never done it for me. Suicide seems a option now, and not something to stay clear off. I lied as a kid to impress my parents….but it never worked. I’m so embarrassed by it man. But I just got the name as a liar. I’m not a liar. I just want someone, just one person to be proud of me. Id give up anything so I can feel wanted or someone to be interested in what I do and not what I look like. I miss people who I think could make a difference. But all I want……is to be “me” again! And I can’t do it by myself. I’m so far over the edge now, 20year of heartbreak has taking its toll and im so scared of being alone through it all. sick of crying on a night and breaking whats left of me. Please help me. I don’t want this anymore…I never have!

Aww, listen you are who you are and that's no bad thing. You don't need to compare yourself to your brother, because you're different people and your parents love you for who you are. I know what you mean about keeping emotions behind closed doors, I'm exactly the same, and I hate people seeing how I really feel, but when I'm alone it all comes out. Whether you do it in private or with a friend or whatever, you need to let your emotions come out. Even if you end up bawling like a baby, you'll feel better afterwards.
I'm sure your family's proud of you. You seem like a generous caring person so they will be. Having said that, you don't always have to put others first. I do that myself too, and it takes its toll. Doing something for yourself every once in a while is not selfish. As long as you're not hurting anybody, how can it be? Your nanna won't dislike you because you didn't take her away or whatever, as long as you're there for her and you listen to her as I'm sure you'd like her to listen to you. That type of thing is a lot more valuable than any amount of money you give.
I dunno if I helped you, but hopefully I did and please don't try anymore suicide attempts. Things from here can only get better if that's what you're considering, so hold onto that thought. Find stuff to do to take your mind off things.

Isn't it funny how people are willing to give advice to others, but when they're in need they don't listen to themselves?? Just saying this cause you replied to my post on here and now I'm helping you lol.
I'd comment on the Newcastle thing, but I used to work at St James' Razz not that I care about football anyway lol

heh...you should read my rant & a 1/2 earlier on...http://ehealthforum.com/health/topic1 27852.html...just blew my top for some reason. I guess the topic touched a sensative point...plus, was in a manic state yesterday afternoon so it was no surprise that I would take a dive at some point...

I know exactly what you guys mean about putting others first the whole time...(re the rant). I feel so blasted guilty when I do something for my self that I can't enjoy it.

And the whole "Practice what you preach" deal also usually get's me, so don't feel alone Lion79 Razz

Sometimes it's odd for me to continue a conversation on the forum, cus I would be in a depressed state, reading something I wrote when I was in a manic state and go "WHAT!...I wrote that?" and at that point my opinion would be the total opposite Wink

I do tend to feel all nice and guey inside when I can help someone else but...and it's a BIG but...(no, I'm not calling anyone fat...that's spelled "BUTT")...there is a huge difference between always putting everyone before your self and being helpfull/polite.

Doing it too much, would cause you to allow other people to abuse your good nature and walk all over you.
