Rosa just listen to music and do something you love or like yk- or like go outside get some fresh air and just breathe in n out
Rosa2011:
Ok thx
breiadabrattzz:
hopefully it helps
Rosa2011:
I do listen music, to not hear ppl around me

I try my best to think of the beautiful things in life. Respectfully talk about any negative thoughts with a family member, friend, or other trusted person. After expressing myself, I ask them about their challenges, it helps me realize I am not alone. Taking it easy, doing what I love, and being myself are other great options.

What if I don’t have anyone to talk wit, family won’t understand me, and I don’t have friends
Rosa2011:
It’s like there’s no one, just me
xXAikoXx:
And that’s okay, sometimes, we do not always have others support. Technically, all we really have in life is ourselves. Maybe you can sit in a quiet room… gather your thoughts plus emotions and understand how you feel and why.
Rosa2011:
I don’t feel anything except pain, hate self, loneliness, sad, and angry
xXAikoXx:
Is there anything bothering you? Or making you stressed?

Oh, you’re just now experiencing all of this? Did it all happen suddenly or has it always been like this?
Rosa2011:
I feel like I’m the problem, like I’m too much or not enough, when I was at third grade my grandma told me that I’m stup!d, unworthy, and useless, all my friends betrayed me, and I never was fav child
Rosa2011:
And no matter what I’m doing my parents never proud of me
xXAikoXx:
What your grandma said is not true at all. You’re not stupid, we all learn differently. Everyone is worthy and special. Useless? There’s no such thing as a bad word like that. We all flourish in our own great ways. Nobody is perfect… but if you think about it… being imperfect is what makes us perfect. You just have to believe in yourself and see it.
Rosa2011:
I don’t believe in me, like I’m a failure, I always was

Well.. I sit in silence thinking about what's on my mind. Not letting my depression get the best of me. I have therapy sessions every week on Wednesday and that seems to somewhat help. I right my thoughts on a piece of paper and then burn it. I stay away from most people besides the one's I feel safe with. I listen to music to help with it as it seems to help a bit. But, yeah.
Rosa2011:
Well I don’t have sessions with therapist, and I don’t feel safe with anyone

No, they wouldn’t understand me, they already saw one scar on my hand and everything they did is yell at me and said if they saw again they will take my phone
BrokenMoon:
Do you have a school therapist you could possibly chat with? You dont have to tell them everything, just whatever youre comfortable with. If thats not an option do you have a teacher you like that you could possibly try? While you arent at school and at home dealing with stuff try taking a walk for a little bit to get away from the chaos, count the trees, look at the clouds, just breathe. You can also always distract yourself by doing something you enjoy like art or playing games on your phone. I understand life is difficult but you have to take care of yourself first. Only you know you best so just try your best to do what you think might help. Best of luck <3
scarlxrd0412:
the best thing to do in my opinion is talk to someone you trust and don't hold it in. I'm currently going throug depression rn and ik its hard to overcome believe me on that but don't let it consume you
LemmyluvsGelo:
Talk to smb you trust, even if its a close friend if u cant trust your parent, turn to music most of the time, and even if you feel like SHing, try to refrain from it, if you relapse, it's okay, things like this takes time, I'm 12 days clean of SH, and I constantly feel like relapsing, but that's okay. I know you don't know me, but i'm always open for a talk or a pick me up or a vent. Don't let anybody who isn't worth your time get you down, just please.. don't bottle anything up.

Yesss.. they got me on these meds, and I can't cry, at all, so.. it's sorta forcing me to bottle things up, I don't like venting bc I feel like I'm bugging the other person, but the more I bottle it up, the more I js, stop caring yk? And ik that's a bad habit but I cant get out of it
