Sadness


Question Posted Thursday May 8 2008, 7:36 pm

I know people get sad, its going to happen, but for at least a month, ive been feeling really sad. I thought about cutting myself, and did it once but not too deep, not enough to kill me, but deep enough. And people at school have just been so...mean and guys have been rude and arrogant, and my parents are fighting and may be getting a divorce and my sister verbally abuses me,i've been doing worse in school and idk, im just DONE. How do i get out of this sadness? I just cant have fun or be happy anymore, and what can i do? I need help and dont want to ask my parents for a therapist, and i try to talk to my friends, but gossip makes it too hard in my school, so i just need some advice on how to get happy again! Thanks

Hey, you sound REALLY down. how old are you? you only sound young. you should be living life, having fun..
i get really stressed with work & friends..
the thing is
your an individual
your yourself, your own person.
nobody makes you do anything

therefore, if things get you down
think to yourself
" im going to forget about it, because i know that im better than that"

if people bully you, be the bigger person and do not react. tell a teacher or a social worker...
do not feel ashamed to tell someone how you feel, for example, a good friend.

dont let people get you down or get to you because you are not making the msot of your life.
we only have one life

your sister! ignore her... that shwat sisters are for to be honest. to be mean. it doesnt matter. ignore her :)

just remember,, be happy! heres a list of what makes me happy :

Shoppinn :) friends :) chocholate...
food..
dancing really loud
singing in the rain
jumping on the trampoline
been with people i care about
talking to friends

pictures, bowling, skatin etc

HAVE FUN :)

lots of love & good luks to u x

if you still fell down. dont be scared to mail me. id like to help X

Dear deppressed,
I get depressed all the time, guys, school, friends, anger, death. It's all common for alot of people. But you've gotta get it through your head that it's called LIFE, and you can turn it around. If I was in your shoes here is what I would do:
. Listen to music, lol always helps me feel like I can do anything, such as: Whatever it takes; lifehouse
. Ask if you can make appointments with the school guidence counsler. Check with your mom about the therapist.
.As for you parents I would ask to meet with both of them then say this to them, " Mom dad, STOP fighting. Your wrecking my life and yours.If your going to argue then get a divorse and move on with it. I CAN'T stand it any longer. Sure you may ground me after this, but I don't care! I've got a life too, and maybey you should consider it every once in a while" But that's just me.
. Try just telling your sister that you love her. lol This may be weird but it will freak her out. then tell her to quit, of course this may not work, but it may take time.

. LAST of all remember your worth it, or you wouldn't be here now would you? I'm a christian so I pray alot. So if your a christian pray or read the bible it'll help you, but if your not then good luck, and remember there's someone out there that loves you, example: parents friends, sisters even if they don't show it.

Hi,
the same exact thing is happening to me. a couple times i wanted to hang myself, and i had a knife to my throat. but you just have to tell yourself. "it will all be well someday" and every time you say that, it makes you feel better. or at least t made me.

If you have more Q's ask me at

Oh. You seem to be doing the same thing as me :D

I had a gun in my hand next to my head about to pull the trigger, and I was talking to my friends online telling them goodbye and such. One friend suggested that I convert to Christianity, or at least try it.

I am not trying to convert you or anything, I am just telling my story. I converted, and I have only been sad about 5 days in that whole time, and I am bipolar. I don't take any medicine for it since I have been so happy lately.

Another thing you can do is re-examine all of your friendships. Sometimes what seems like your best friend is actually someone who doesn't really talk to you much but calls you their best friend. If this is so, confront them, and tell them how you feel.

Your sister probably verbally abuses you for a reason, something out of your control. Try and have a serious talk with her and see whats wrong. Most people only verbally abuse others because it makes themselves feel better. She might be having problems with her friends and she just takes it out on you at home.

Try and find a hobby to occupy your time, like a club after school, or learn to play an instrument. I am a band geek and proud. One thing that is consistent from school to school is that the band is always like a big family. Even if you have never played an instrument before, you can learn. The band people will accept you no matter how weird you are. Or, if you join something like robotics team or something else that interests you, it will be a great opportunity to meet new people with similar interests.

Well, I hope that maybe you can find something helpful out of this. I have been through a very similar situation, so if you need to talk, add me on MSN or AIM.

I totally understand with all the abuse going on don't worry, you WILL be okay. STOP cutting yourself all you need is a REALLY good friend or a stuffed animal pour your feelings out. You will feel SO much better. But DON'T try to kill yourself, if you can't do this ask piperreid.
