Lonelyfellow Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I am always so sad....I have 4 firends that have been there for me...but even now, I put on a mask to cover up how I feel on the inside....I have been single my entire life...and the one girl I like has a boyfirend...with no hope of them spliting...I have problems at home...with my parents divorced..and relationship issuses on both sides...I am constantly teased in school...about my acne..and my looks...and I have had recently suicidal thoughts...past enjoyments have become mild numbing agents against the pain I feel... I really could use a firend right now... Link to post Share on other sites
josie54 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 You'll find friends here, but you'll find even better connections with the friends you already have. You say you "put on a mask to cover up how you feel on the inside." You really need to tell one of your current friends what you just told us here. You really need to connect with someone (a trusted friend or family member, teacher, pastor, etc.), face to face, and tell them what you're thinking and feeling. They may only be able to listen, but you'll be amazed at how good it feels to be heard by someone. Also, if you're having suicidal thoughts, look online or in your local listings to find a hotline with someone who can talk to you about these thoughts. That should be your first action whenever such a thought crosses your mind. And check out theWeb site "It Gets Better" at www.itgetsbetter.org (If the moderator takes out the Web address, just search for "It Gets Better" and it's the first to come up.) This site was originally created for gay teens, to let them know that the bullying and hard times they were going through in high school would eventually pass. But the videos people are posting there are powerful for ANY young person who is having a difficult time coping with teasing/bullying. Because it's true....it does get better. But only if you're here to experience it. Finally, if your emotional state continues, you need to seek out help. I'm not sure where you live, but there should be resources in your town to help you find qualified professionals who can help you deal with your situation--even prescribe anti-depressants if necessary. Your best move is to act, even if it's in a small way. Watch a few "It Gets Better" videos, call a friend to let them know you're having a difficult time and meet up with them to talk, call a hotline. Even a small act in the right direction will help you move forward. Just keep living and take care of yourself. It will get better! Link to post Share on other sites
