Hi I'm 15 right now, and lately I haven't been feeling happy. I sorta just feel, empty and lonely all the time even when im with friends. A lot of stuff (like my ex boyfriend dumping me after chosing friends and weed over me, guy I know leading me on by making out with me then ditching me for another girl and my mom favoring my brothers way more than me) has happened lately. Regardless of that, for the past half year I've just been really depressed feeling and I wish I could just leave and restart while wishing I wasnt so selfish for being depressed. Because that I feel sad all the time I take that as self pity and I think that me self pitying myself is selfish. Is it? Also when I cry I think its babyish and that I cant cry at all and I used to get mad at myself for crying. But crying is perfectly natural and healthy right? Please help. I dont want to see a counseler and my mom already thinks im screwed up.
Right now, it seems like your experiencing the typical teenaged, girl experiences.
To me, the only thing that I can think of in this type of situation, is do whatever makes you happy, or seem a little better. Try to find a hobby or something that can distract you from these kinds of things. Dont, please do NOT, turn into a stereotype and start cutting yourself, or dressing.. scary..
The only thing that will do, is make it obvious that your feeling this way and allowing many other kids to make fun of you for feeling this way. Trust me I used to be one of those kids.
yeah I was cutting a little bit awhile ago but I stopped because all of a sudden I realized what I was doing.
