And I'm sorry about your friend commiting suicide :[ that's got to be really tough, a couple of my friends have attempted to commit suicide, so i know how hard it is and how empty you must be feeling right now. But i DO agree with christina? it could take going to a bunch of different therapists before you actually find one that can help you. because they ARE the best help there is.
Anyways, with that said, you should try writing in a journal. Write down all your thoughts and feelings and anything that gets your wmotions out from inside of you. I know you think, "pssh, yeah right, why would I wanna write in a journal? thats not gonna do crap." but it really does help. I promise.
You should also call this number ...
1-800-273-TALK[8255]
you can talk to a complete stranger about anything, and they'll help you deal with your problems or feelings.
I really hope this gets better for you, hang in there and try to engage in activitied with friend or join a sport, maybe get yourself into art or something. but occupy yourself and communication is key, so maybe talk to your parents and tell them what's going on, trust me, they'd wanna know so they can do their very best to help you. good luck, hope I helped and stay strong :] xxo.

christina answered Thursday July 23 2009, 5:44 am: How many therapists did you see? If you only saw just 1, that could be the problem. You can't see 1 therapist and then say therapy doesn't work at all and then completely rule it out as an option.
Sometimes it takes a lot of time to find the right therapists. You could go through 10 before you find the one who is right for you.
Call the cops on your cousin. Call the cops on your friend, and get yourself a new social circle. You don't need to hang out with people who're abusing you. You can get away, you're just choosing not to. Go seek therapy. Sample a few therapists because I'm sure that the first one isn't always the one for you.
