Life is not over yet, the beauty of it is you can choose however many new beginnings you want. There are no rules telling you that you aren't allowed to start over. Friends come and unfortunately they go as well. But being so you you will have so many more opportunities to make new friends, school, work, when you have your very own apartment or house there are so many things you can do that will help your social life too. Whenever you feel down in the dumps, try doing something kind for someone else. It will turn negative thoughts into positive ones and helping other people will surely put some good luck into your life. As for school, don't be afraid to speak with your teacher for extra work or tutoring and if you have a mountain of homework to catch up on always start with the stuff that's due first and then if you have time afterwards do what's been due the longest. Never try to do it all in one shot, even stay in during recesses to show the teacher you are trying. My brother had the same problem and he is going into high school next year. We fixed it. Always tell yourself when you feel low, "this is not the end. Life goes on and things will not be like this forever." Always try your hardest to look at the bright side of things. If your friends left you, they don't know what they're missing and maybe they aren't your forever friends if they're gone because of something you can't control, just know there's a better script out there and you're the lead role. This life is yours so grab it by the horns and smile young one. There is so much yet to learn of the world and I even find that I learn new things every day. You can talk to me if you ever need to.

Personally, I have been very miserable all of my life. I have suffered from OCD as long as I can remember. I moved from New York to Florida when I was five years old. It was very traumatic for me. I have tried to commit suicide, but I just ended up in a mental institution. I do see a psychiatrist, but she does not help me. In fact, I only see her for the medication. I am absolutely miserable right now, especially with my job. I decided that I will no longer give any types of hints about suicide because I don't want to end up in a mental institution again. That did nothing to help me. I am going through preparations (getting my house ready, cleaning, trying to pay off bills). (link)

I find this to be as much of a statement than a question. I understand mental illness, it runs in my family. Hope is not lost. I cannot tell you anything because you will be the one who ultimately makes the final decision. However, you giving me a statement as such, makes me hurt. I don't want to be the only one, or last one who knows of your suicidal thoughts. I wish I could say something to you, to help you realize you are part of something much larger than life itself. You are the master of your universe and leaving now would only destroy your amazing story. You, as dismal as you may believe your part in this world is, affect more people than you think. Take myself for example. You are personally erectifying this projection of an individual to me, that individual being yourself. I may even speak of your situation to my husband, for support because now you've created a rope between us and I want you to hold on. The world is connected in various ways and as vast and huge as it may seem, the world is truly smaller and more connected than you think. You are important, you've touched more people than you realize and to be grateful even though life has thrown you fast balls that you weren't prepared to hit, it goes on. I won't tell you people have it worse because nobody knows how you feel in this moment. You are truly brilliant, and I know this because through your letter I see you are educated, self aware (which many people lack), hopeful (otherwise you wouldn't have put this out into the world) and there is always hope, in fact, my middle name is actually Hope. Coincidence?
