I’m sixteen and life is already a mess for me!

I don’t know what to do and everything I do do just ends up backfiring. I want to die but I’m too afraid to kill myself and hurt the people around me but I just can’t shake the feeling of wanting to die, not even counseling has helped! All I want to be in life is an actress but I’m not getting anywhere close to that goal, especially since I’m failing school now. I can’t even go to school because there isn’t a time of day that I’m not crying. On top of that, people are dying around me and I’m so scared. I tried cutting myself and whenever I do, I feel the urge to slit my wrists but I know it will hurt and that scares me but the odd thing is, I like the pain from cutting myself but I’m too afraid of the pain from killing myself.
Nothing is helping and I’m so lost!!!

what are some specific, short term goals you can achieve that will put you in the direction of being an actress?

I’m sorry to hear you’re having such a rough time. Have you talked to your parents?

your only 16, life has so many great things to offer!
get a goods nights sleep, write down some goals, and work your way towards them. Start small, but then gradually build them up. Focus on your school work, as this is one of the most important parts in your life-your gcse’s. Believe me, i know its stressful, im going through them now, but they only happen once, and you have got to give it your best shot. jleec (user above) gave some good advice, i would follow that. Dont worry, you CAN get over this! Just think positive and think about everything your good at, you can do ANYTHING if you put your mind to it!

I tried talking to my parents but they don’t understand. I came out this year and told about me being sexually abused when I was little, by my sister, and they didn’t even fully believe me! All they said was that little kids experiment and do stupid stuff. So it’s ok if my older sister touches me and tells other people to touch me too?

Why don’t you believe my story? Why would I lie about that?

That’s an awful thing to say!! How dare you!
I can’t believe you would say something like that to me.
This is real and I’m sorry that the only way you could ever get attention was through making up disgusting stories about yourself but don’t you dare compare my story to your sick little games.

Miss Emotional is right about staying in counselling. It does take a while to start helping, but eventually it will. Like everything else, there’s no instant cure -everything takes time and effort.
