I can’t have a regular life
I’m 15, I’m unhappy, I live in a small town, I don’t have a trusty best friend to rely on, I don’t have a trusted adult to vent to, I can’t catch a break, I can’t have a regular life, bottled feelings, a lot to deal with, but not a lot to fix it. No one to run to. No escape, no way to unwind, no breaks. At least I know not to escape my everyday problems the wrong way. A nearly useless mother, a burden laying sister with metaphorically 8 faces ready for the world, and me🙍🏾♀️. Offer me a getaway mentally when I just don’t wanna know these people or live this life this way.🛫

I think teenagers are generally unhappy. And you're not alone in not having someone to confide in and yes I agree its necessary to have someone to listen. But most of us don't. There's this book called "why am I afraid to tell you who I am?" and it talks about communication and the importance of having someone you can confide in. But again, most people don't.
You can do a couple of things to get away. You can go for a walk. Not only does it produce feel good hormones, sunlight also cheers you up and walking in nature is soothing and nice to get away from it all. I take walks regularly and I always feel better after doing it and it doesn't feel like exercise. Another thing is exercise. yeah its not easy, but it releases feel good chemicals and you'll feel better about yourself as you see yourself getting stronger.
When I was your age, I took a martial art and it helped IMMENSELY. It gave me confidence, a bunch of new friends, got exercise, got in shape and I was able to fight now. There was literally nothing bad about it. I loved it and went as much as I could. It was just an amazing experience and was exactly what I needed. I highly recommend it.
And of course another way is meditation. There's lots of guided meditations on youtube, you just gotta find one you like. If you don't want to meditate doing breathing exercises also gets you out of your head. Look for "wim hof method breathing exercise" on youtube. Its 10 minutes and it also releases feel good stuff and gets you out of your head. Hope this helps.
EDIT: When I was writing that I forgot about the pandemic. So I guess you'll have to stick with things that don't require contact with others.

Hello! I see what your saying as I know many people are going through something like this. It truly sucks feeling like you have nobody to turn to. But I bet you ANYONE is willing to listen. It isn't all the time where they will respond to your feelings but at least they're hearing you out. If you absolutely can't turn to someone take the time to write out your feelings. Make that your outlet. The journal won't respond to you but it is a way to let some feelings leave your mind. It really helps, I've been doing that for the past year. Find things you love to do weather it is reading, drawing, making videos, anything at all! Do things that make you happy and hope to see progress!
