I have missed out

Rated 0 out of 5

I have missed out on so much. I have missed going to school dances and games and parties because I am constantly worried about what people will say and think about me and violence breaking out. I wish i didn’t worry but I do. i don’t think i would enjoy myself if i did go because i’m always thinking about it and the worry makes me feel insane sometimes it is so loud in my brain. i need my brain to calm down so i can live a normal life.

You are all loved! Mental Health is a journey

Rated 0 out of 5

Great site! Ghosh, I definitely did not address my mental health as a teen. We were taught to just keep going. Even as an adult I have my good days & bad days. Glad such young people on this site are looking out for their mental health at a young age. Remember you are all loved.

Thank you. I had to address my mental health before I lost everything. I was pushing everyone away. I think this site is part of me dealing with my struggles by hearing from other people about thier journey.

Sometimes I feel so down

Rated 0 out of 5

I get so down and angry sometimes that I can’t even imagine feeling that way when I’m having a good day. Scratch that – I can’t remember the last time I had a good day. Every day I feel down at some point. I guess it would be a success to focus on the good parts of the day.

It is ok if every day has its ups and downs. It’s ok to experience all feelings, When your feelings get too big it is important to talk to someone.

I want to encourage everyone making comments here to keep communicating with trusted friends and family and seek the help of a therapist. Everything is going to be ok.

I think this is a great site. I guess I don’t often think about other people feeling the way that I feel.

This is called all or nothing thinking or black and white thinking. These types of extreme thoughts can make it very difficult to get along with others and reach your goals. Instead of black and white, can you try “grey thinking”? You might have some struggles, but you are also good and worthy of love and kindness from yourself. Consider reaching out to a therapist or mental health professional to help you learn “grey thinking.”

I am struggling with feeling confident in clothes that properly fit my body type.

I understand. It’s not always easy, but wear the right fit. Don’t wear clothes that are too small or too big to feel your best.

Growing up is hard enough without teachers expecting so much. I am so much more than sad. Teachers have a don’t ask don’t tell policy. They won’t ask why you’re not doing well and they won’t tell you how to prepare for their class to get good scores. I must have a learning disability, because there’s nothing I can do to do better. It’s just so hard to focus, I can’t catch up and we’re only 2 months into school. How can I do better if I keep missing school because of my headaches and sore stomach. I feel too stupid to learn, but I used to be smart. I’m not sure if it’s too late or if I should give up.

It is not too late, you should never give up. Your teachers or parents might not realize, but your doctor may be able to help you with your sadness. Your doctor might be able to give you medicine and help you find a counselor who you can check in with on a regular basis to feel less scattered, disorganized, and more motivated. You got this!

I struggle with social anxiety

Rated 0 out of 5

I am a college freshman and I can’t get out of my room, much less my bed. I used to be involved in all kinds of activities. I used to hang out with my friends. I used to have fun and have friends. Now, I stay in my room, hardly go to class, and fear negative reactions from others. I never thought I would be homesick, but this is just too much. I’m on medicine but it is not working. I have too much stress. There’s no reason to go out. I don’t see an upside. Thanks for this website. I think this is a good idea.

I think the only way to do it is to do it. So please get up and get out. Go to class, see your friends, and see your doctor. You can do it and you will be glad you did.
