about

I am a 29/f that loves to listen and try to help out. I have always been the one people go to for advice.

I will tell you how I feel about it. If you don't like my answer, I'm sorry. However, usually what I say is true, people just can't handle the truth.

advice

i dont know whats wrong with me. i am 14/f freshman. i am very dramatic and emotional but lately i just act like i dont care about things. my friends are starting to notice. well at my school (i switched a quarter into the school yr) there are only like 35 kids in my grade (i went from 750 in my grade at public school to 35 in my grade at a private Christian school) and i feel like they arent my real friends. i have only a couple real friends at my school. people are always judging and talking about people. since im easily upset i just started to shut off those emotions and say i dont care. im not truly happy at my school and dont act like myself. i have amazing friends that i love outside of school but i dont see them that often. like once a week. my church friends and friends from my old school. and my boyfriend of course. also im moving in June and thats extremely hard for me because im leaving my friends and the boy i love. it wont be too bad wear im moving too cause i already have some friends and im hoping to start fresh. but right now i just dont care anymore. at least thats what i say and i dont talk all that much. im serious and treat school as my job cause it is but i never really thought of it that way before. now im kinda quiet and i just do my work. i do talk to my friends of course but i was just so much different at my old school. and i just think a lot of the time. i can still be social but sometimes my friend will say something on the bus and i will be like oh, ok and look out the window. i did that today and she was like why have you been acting like this? and i told her how im not truly happy or myself there at school. what is wrong with me and what should i do? please im desperate to understand whats going on with me. thanks :] and ps i am happy sometimes like at my youth group or with my friends or with my bf. and when i talk to my friends and bf thanks again i will rate :]

To be honest, it sounds as if you are suffering from some sort of depression. Depression can be caused by a number of emotional disturbances.

You have gone through a lot lately, and it's getting to you. You aren't truly happy with your surroundings (most of the time) and you don't show the same charisma you once did before. The only thing I can tell you is to find your source of unhappiness and tackle it head on.

If you are upset that you are constantly being moved from one school to the next, and there is no good reason for it (parent gets promoted, you were expelled from a school, not saying you were, just examples, a military child, cheaper rent, or circumstances beyond your control) talk to your parents and let them know that you are unhappy with the way things are going. Tell them you had friends that you really don't want to lose. Maybe talking to them will bring a compromise in which you will all be happy. At least this way, you will get your feelings out there and let them know the damage it is doing to you.

Once you confront your source of depression, chances are you will start working towards making yourself happy again and things will work out.
