To Beingteen

Quote From: beingteen

sorry, this is my seconf message. i don't know what to say or what to do to let people know how i feel inside. i could write a book on how i feel! i don;'t think people realize how mush you nee you're family and you need support until you have none.  i hardly even trust anyone anymore and i hardly trust that they care.i wish that someone would care for me and somewhere i could be needed. i feel so alone in this world. like, What's the point? i'm so scared i'm not going to be able to make it in the world. the only way i hold on is through dreaming and big hopes. i just don't think i'll be able to make it to college and produce a wonerful family or a wonderful life, the way i am going. i am so afriad that i am going to be that messed up girl that noone talks to. i'm so afraid tha i am going to die lonely and sad. i'm so sad that i even think about my death at this age. that i think death would be more satisfying then life. i've tried getting help from people but they all tell me to lean on my family. HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO DO THAT?! THEY DON"T REALLY CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT ME!! i wish you only knew the things i've done to get help. i used to go to a public school that i don't go to anymore, because i couldn't handle it. truth is, i have no friends. i have no friends because i am afraid of myself and my future. i fear i need someone. God sure has blessed the lives of those who Dr. Phil choses to help. he's such a wonderful guy. i desperatly need him in mine. i need someone so bad!! i just don't think i;m good enough. i don;t think he'll ever chose me. but i need this more than anyone! i really do!!! i've become a rock. i sit in my house an i never come out. i aviod phone calls and plan staying in my room all day and never coming out. i don;t do ANYTHING. i am becoming a complete failure. this isn't like me at all. i have so much i wanted to do with my life. i have so much i wanted to be. this is like my cry for help.. I WISH I COULD SPILL OUT ALL THS AN YOU CUOLD SEE HOW HELPLESS I AM> HOW MUCH I NEED SOMEONE IN MY LIFE. HOW MUCH I NEE MORE THAN A 'IT'S OKAY" I THINK IF I COULD GO ON DR PHIL, HE WOULS BE SAVING MY LIFE. LITERALLY. RIGHT NOW, I LIVE AS IF I WERE ALREADY DEAD> SOMEONE HELP ME! DON"T IGNORE ME> DON"T SAY I'm JUST IMAGINNG THINGS. I DON"T WANT TO BE ON T.V. I DON"T WANT TO LIVE THIS LIFE. I WISH SOMEONEWOULD JUST HELP. BE SELFLESS AND HELP ME. if life isn't about that, then i don;t know what life is for..  

 

if this message never gets read or if noone responds,  

sorry i wasted my time. 

i feel worthless already 

  

I am very worried about you beingteen. can you talk to your parents about this? i have been where you have been and its not a nice world. i would close the blinds and not answer the phone ever. i had to drive my boys to school and thats all i can do. it sounds like you are maybe going thru some major depression. i am not a doctor or something but i have been there. and the symptoms you have i had. i was diagnosed as bi polar along with social anxiety and BPD. and high anxiety. i have been on every anti depressant you can think of. but i am highly sensetive to them and cant take them which makes my conditions worse. But i know these drugs work for people and you are not worthless even though you may feel this way. and yes wanting to be dead every minute of everyday is part of the depression. this is NOt in your head. this is a real condition that needs medical atttention. i icnored mine depression for years and it just got worse. so please reach out and start living again. i beg you to do this for your self and your family. Hang In there

hi and yes its very scary to go and talk to someone about these things. like cutting ones self or purging. but its easier to talk to someone that is not family and have them listen and that makes all the difference. Along with trying to find out reasons why your doing these things. you wil know after a few sessions if the therapist is the right one for you. you want someone that you can be free to talk with and will listen and not put you down. But will give you other ways to deal with these harmful things. Good luck. face that fear straight on because it will be worth it.

worried about you hisjewels. there is some rough stuff going on with you. Have you ever tried to journel your feelings when your feeling this way? that has been helping me  alot. using Dr. Phils diary section. try to put your positive thoughts down first then the negative. its taken me months to finally get where i am somewhat thinking positve and not negative.just a thought.Hope your day is better today and that you dont harm yourself. It really hurts you know.

i don't seem to be so good at finding possitive things to write about or say about me and my life lately.  There waas a day not to long ago i had a random day where i saw a lot of positive things happen.  also i can not write how i am feeling because i will be numb a lot of times and not know what feeling i am having i jjust know i want to do it and it feels good.  i do not know if that makes since but well yeah i can't make since of much today.  i am really moody/grouchy today for some reason.  i think it will be a hard day not to do self harm but hmmm well i could try although i am fighting even now doing something....  i will say i can try but well yeah.....

hisjewels,  

i know what your feeling as to the numb part i feel that way all the time. part of the disorder. i found if i wrote on word or sentence down that was positvie for the day or week and then did a negative the positiv finally came out. its hard not to want to do self harm when you are feelilng this way. Try hard not too.But i know thats alot to ask when those thoughts are racing in your head. its harder to not do it then to do it. take care.

Bulimia

Quote From: ljh0103

Yes i was wondering how long it takes for food to settle? I guess i mean within how many hours of eating can you bring something back up? I know within a certain amount of time it becomes hard but just wonderring about it. Also does it make it easier if you drink something like water? Think my friend is relapsing again. I thank you in advance for helping me.
when i was n the psch hospital they would not allow me to go back to my room for a full hour. i have done it 15minutes after i ate. and up to one hour after eating. it depends on what one eats. hope your friend is not relapsing.

Awesome.......good luck in that. I tried doing it every day to everyother day. Breaking down what i was feeling inside.i may write in it once a week or so. and it seems like the positve is coming out more. maybe you want to cut then write down what excatly is making you feel like cutting. or what maybe goals that you can accomplish and how you can do that and what you are doing to do that. i put the Positive in the front of my journel where i have the negative in the middle of the journel. so the positve has to be seen first. Good luck in your endevors to do that. lelt me know how that goes hisjewels.
