life not worth living


Question Posted Wednesday February 2 2005, 9:28 am

I am a thirteen year old female and I don't want to live my life anymore. My ex boyfriend and ex best friend are almost going out even though they know I still have feelings for him. My sister has ADHD so my parents have to give her alot of special attention and there are about three family arguments a day. I gave up self harm about a month and a half ago but now I have started again because I am so depressed. I make constant threats of suicide and I suffer from very low self confidence. I am rarely happy and when I am it is short lived. I desperately want my ex boyfriend back and keep thinking that if only I still had him then I would be happy. I have a male friend who I talk to about almost everything and he is very supportive but he can't help me. What should I do?

well you shouldn't think that your ex can help you because the truth is the only person who can help you is you. not trying to be mean or anything. ovbious your ex best friend really wasn't a best friend. your sister who has ADHD shouldn't really get more attention. i would go to the counselour at school and tell her about that. she can help. i go to her a lot and sometimes she takes me to a therapist. i'm 13 years old too and all i can say is that middle scool is going to be the hardest thing in your life to go through. when you get in high school you will have new friends and a new reputation its almost like starting over. thats what my counselor told me. i don't beleive her but i think i am starting too. hope i helped.

Suicide is never the answer, this may sound bad but it shows you are weak. I understand about the SI thing, I used to be a cutter too, and I understand it is very hard to stop. You know what you should do though, tell your parents and get help, its the best thing to do. I know it may not seem it but trust me you don't want to regret anything. Be strong. Keep Me Updated! I hope I helped Kaitlyn*Itsallkaitlyn

Get help.. And don't self-mutilate! It only leads to bad things - trust me, I've been there. Mental hospital and all. The first thing you need to do is go to a doctor and ask for anti-depressants. (Which would mean you're also going to have to tell your parents.) You might also want to see a shrink.. The hardest part of all this is telling your parents.. And it might seem like they wouldn't care b/c of your sister, but they will.. I hope I helped and please - find someone to talk to.

You may think that this boy is important, or that your best friend was, but in the long run they really dont matter.

I find that kids your age place far too much importance on their social lives as if it meant everything in the world.

In three, four years youll be hanging round with new people and new boyfriends, and things will seem a lot better.

Remember everyone has relationship problems at some time in their life. Chances are youll experience a lot worse than this in later years, but youll be better mentally equipped to deal with it.

Try and understand that your parents are going through a hard time too.

Cutting yourself is just attention seeking and stupid, dont do it. It also makes people want to avoid you.


Try and see a councillor if you can.
In my life if something bad happen, I just ignore it and keep laughing.

It keeps me happy!

Now get off your ass and go get a better bloke than that guy.

Wallowing in self pity never achieves anything.

Talk to a professional. Ask your mother to make an appointment with a counselor for you.

It sounds as if you have a lot going on in your life, and it can make a big difference to have someone neutral to talk to. They'll focus all their attention on you, which is something that doesn't seem to be happening in other areas of your life.

Your ex is only another problem on your list, and I can understand why the situation upsets you. But at the heart of the matter, having him back would NOT help you feel better - he wouldn't make your sister magically well, make your family get along any better, or significantly raise your self-esteem.

It's about how YOU feel about you, not how other people do. You obviously have some strength within you, since you once gave up self-harming. Use that strength to get yourself help.

You deserve to be listened to.
