I know exactly what you mean. And I'm totally not suicidal. I've been through that phase before though where I've thought about it though. It's just something you have to deal with. I mean being a teenager growing up it's going to happen where you just get SICK of everytyhing. All the freaking drama.

Sometimes it feels like even one of your good friends, if they talk to you about they're life you just cant help but get annoyed right? That's why I stay home in my room all the time except for with hanging out with my boyfriend or something. (Because with him it feels like everything makes sense.) and its okay to hang out with him but on my part, it isnt helping to shut myself off from everyone else just because Im annoyed by them you know? Because it will pass.

Even if you have to trail off and make new friends. I mean DONT FORGET ABOUT YOUR OTHERS, but still.. some group who is safe and fun and random and who you can relate to and is just drama-free for the most part.

I dont know it really also depends what kind of person you are and your friends are. I dont know what a normal conversation for you and your friends would be, but I really hope I helped.

Although things seem like too much and sometimes its just get hard to get out of bed, just remember everybody goes through this.

But.. if you honestly think you may be depressed. You can talk to your parents about this. Dont feel embarassed. Believe it or not its completely normal and it doesnt mean you have problems... it just means your feelings are bulding up and you dont exactly know how to deal with them.

Also, try talking to your friends. If they care about you they'll listen. Just tell them exactly what you said in the question. They'll understand and they could probably give you much better advice.

Good Luck<3

It's called depression. You might have a mild case of it, so just write or do something you love. Art helps "release a toubled soul"..trust me. If your depression gets worse, ask your mom to take you to someone to talk to.
good luck!
if you need anything else with depression, IM me AIM: fatalxhaerts

I've been here before. And what my honest advice is too pray. And if doesn't help, pray some more. Even if your not a Christian, pray anyway and try and find some relief in it.

Talk to your friends and tell them your situation, because if you do I bet you can work around the way you feel about them and their seriousness and if they are really your friends they will try and help you.

That's good to hear you won't kill yourself, that shows some serious mental ability to go through what you say your going through and have it in your head that you will not kill yourself and just end it, that shows mental endurance, which is very good.

If you don't think any of this will help, then see a doctor about it, maybe he can try and help you and try also seeing a counciler because they may be able to help you improve your outlook on life and help you find a better feeeling with yourself.

Also though..pray and try and find God, because if you go to him, he will help you, no doubt about it.

I hope this helps and you get to feeling a less troubled soul. If you need anything else, drop something in my inbox.

-Ryan

I've been there. It was a long time ago, but my feelings were once very similar to yours. Right down to being tired of life but unable to die.

Obviously things changed for me. They can for you, too.

It sounds as if you may have depression in some form, but I'm not qualified to say so. No one here is. Your situation sounds serious enough to justify seeing a specialist.

I usually recommend a psychiatrist, because if your problem is biological (i.e. neurochemical), a psychistrist will be able to approach the problem from the medication angle, as well as the talk-therapy one.

You'll need to start out by talking to your parents, a school counselor, or a trusted teacher. They should be able to find you the help that you need.

And please don't feel embarrassed. You wouldn't BELIEVE the number of people who suffer from this sort of problem. Going to a psychiatrist should be no more embarrassing than going to a general practicioner with a broken arm.

Okay, it IS more embarrassing - because society is stupid about behavioral problems - but please don't let that stop you. You need help. Get it.

This may be a temporary problem, or it may be longer-term. But in either case, there are effective treatments that will bring you back to yourself and calm your soul.

Life can, and WILL, be good again.

I wish you the best of luck.
