I'm completely miserable and pretty much want to die now. I can't stand the winter weather anymore. I can't sleep anymore. I'm really sick with a sore throat and fever that won't go away. Things with my boyfriend which were going perfectly, my family loved him and he was living at my house are totally ruined because my dad walked in on us having sex and kicked him out and he's "not welcome in our home anymore". So things are awkward between me and my whole family and him now. I'm doing badly in school and still fighting with my sister. I hate my job. I'm completely miserable. So should I just say f*** it and like kill myself or something?
Additional info, added Monday February 25 2008, 1:24 pm: My tonsils are so swollen that I can't even swallow my anti-depressants anymore.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health? orphans answered Monday February 25 2008, 4:16 pm: I honestly do not think that you should do that. I am sick right now too...and I have been for a while just like you. I have had bad hours, bad days, bad months, and so on and so on. Sometimes you really just have to turn those lemons into lemonade. And the only way you are going to do that, is to turn things around. How does your dad think that you were born, not just by sitting around. :-] Clearly you and your bf love each other, and if you want him back, dont let that stop you. In fact, use that to help you. Turn your life around RIGHT now. Start doing better in school, and get a good job. If things start to work out with you and him, move out and get an appartment together. If this is really important to you, then you have to explain that to your parents, whats done is done, and you cannot change that, so you mine as well get over it and move on. Things are only going to get better from here, but its going to take some will power from you.
Try to be the bigger person, and do something nice for/with your sister. If she goes along with it, great, get closer with her. But if she pulls away, just give her space, and time, but dont stop caring or trying to be nice. Some people just don't always act the way we think is right, and we need to just give them time.
As for the sore throat, gargle with some salt and water, drink some juice and lemonade, suck on ice pops, drink some apple cider, eat chicken noodle soup. Go to a doctor if you havent already.
And another thing...screw anti depressants right now, TRUST ME, once you start having a better attitude, and more confidence, then you will get happier. Actually, it is a proven fact that when you are ill, being happy makes the sickness go away even faster. Being depressed can make it worse, or it can make you sick. Either way, its no use being depressed.
You have your whole life ahead of you, who knows what is to come, just because you have had some bad days (like I have :-]) you should not give up. Don't just do this for anyone else, do it mainly FOR yourself.
Start living life, and also, the enviorment or people you are around could be suffocating you, and making you sad. Try not to think about it all the time, make a plan, and put it to action. Have some fun, go out to the mall and hang around.
Tell your parents every once in a while that you love them.
Cherish your life, and think about how it can be, and how you will make it.
Start now.
Oh yea, and for the fever, and depression pills, wait until your throat is better for the pills, and take some advil for the feaver...maybe some advil liquid gells. poor the liquid into soup or pudding or yogurt and eat it. This will bring down you temperature and make you feel much better.
Please do not hesitate to ask me a question, or ask for more help. I will always be here if you need me...and so will everyone here on advicenators. :-] [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

Suicide is never the answer. Even when you die your problems won't go away they will just get worse. Think about living forever with the pain of not solving the problem you are feeling. As for school you can't really do anything until you are physically and mentally well again. I knwo that it is tough to live in a household where the awkward tension is unbearable but there is a time when you have to be the bigger person and pick yourself up again. If you love your boyfriend and want to be with him then screw your parents. They don't control your choices you do. Talk to him and say maybe you two should live together. Never think about suicide because then you will have to live with these problems forever and forever is a very long time. If you want I can help you with school. My email is foxychick6798@aol.com or even my myspace which is www.myspace.com/darkesthourforme. I can help more than you think because I have the darkest depths of a persons soul when it has nothing left. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
christina answered Monday February 25 2008, 3:01 pm: I'm sorry to hear this.
Although things are going bad now, they will eventually get better. See a doctor about being sick. Get some bed rest in, and drink lots of fluids & take some medicine. It doesn't have to be a pill, you know.
Try to get extra help after school so you can catch up and get your grades back. Letting your problems at home bother you isn't helping, so you need to suck it up during the day.
Also, I realize being walked on in while you have sex can lead to problems, but you need to talk to your dad. He just doesn't want to picture his daughter having sex, so that's why it bothers him so much. I'd just sit him down and talk to him about it. You don't really have it that bad and you need to consider how good you have it because most people have it much, MUCH worse than you. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
