I know exactly how you feel. My freinds dont understand how I feel. My mom dont understand either. Im a girl. And urself?

Been there done that.

Bypass your mom and tell a doctor on one of your regular check ups or whatever if your sick or faking sick or something, then they can tell you if you need to see a therapist or something like that or if you need to be put on medication.

Have you tried to stop the harm at all?

u feel alone cause u literally & physically isolate urself fr0m ur friends/ classmates. socialize m0re & see what will happen

Doctors dont do anything bad though, if you say youve used drugs and stuff and think you need help because you dont feel right they wont call the cops or anything as long as drugs arent on you.

You just do it out of being depresed right? Just cure the depression. Make sure you talk to your friends and have them understand. Try and listen to lots of music to distract your thoughts away from the drugs and drinking and whatever else. Try and go out and get more sunshine and take your vitamins and exercise more and that should make you healthier making you less depressed and also help make up for the damage you might have done to yourself.

Okay, so I was in the same position. I did drugs, I felt depressed, alone, lifeless, f****d up, and going nowhere in life. I felt I had no one, and nothing to live for. I didn’t like who I was, or who I was becoming.
So here’s my advice:
Get positive. & you HAVE to stay away from the drugs. May I ask what it is you use? - I got into just about everything, and it nearly ruined my life. Point being, becoming sober could be or could not be as difficult depending on the addiction or use.
Also, I still do not socialize. It’s good to be independent. But I found God, and I leaned on him a lot.
Anyway, people say you need friends to stay sane, and my view is absolutely not. A lot of “friends” diminish the value of a true friend, and actually cause people more harm to one another.
Don’t think things are going down, because then they will.
Refocus yourself, and gain confidence! Become a better person because you’re not doing the drugs, and because you don’t trust people easily, and because you have experienced the bad in life, and can say you’re learning your lesson. That’s good.
I really can relate, so talk to me…

hey…. i care. and i know what you’re going thru cuz i’ve been there. i understand the emptiness, depression and the loneliness.
i believe that there’s a hole in every man’s heart that only christ can fill. i was so empty, disoriented and confused (tho everything looks fine on the outside) 2 years ago until i met god. when that happened, everything just became make sense, on why on earth you’re here on earth, on why you were created, etc. and you’ll find a purpose in relationship with the loving father. what you need is jesus’ love to fill you up like a coke in a desert… it’s not an empty promise. it’s something real and it’s the truth that will make you free.
there is hope. dont give up. http://sugarcreek.net/media/easter-2009

I know how you feel. I must be insane. You seem to have clinical depression, something I’ve struggled with my whole life. THe cause of this condition you didn’t really explain, so I can’t tell you if I can relate or not. But the nature of depression is to compound each day, and seem more and more hopeless. You must find an outlet for it. An activity to divert your attention. Stop watching TV. Go for walks. Write. I know how futile and hopeless this advice probably seems, but it is your only choice. And it will work. You need to distract your mind from it’s compounding of negative thoughts. You’d be surprised at how these negative thoughts can wither away once you gain a little strength. Good Luck!
