Help.

Okay, so this is pathetic now but I’m due to move to uni in like, 8 days and I don’t want to go. I was told by a councillor that my current bedroom is my safe place, and how defensive I am of it and I’m wondering if that’s the motive behind all of this change of mind. Suddenly I can’t stop crying, I don’t want to go out and all I can think about it ending my life because I don’t think I’m worth living.

I know it all sounds melodramatic but I can’t help it. I’m trying to be normal, I am but I’m just falling apart. I’m telling people I’m eating but I haven’t eaten in days. My friends are brilliant but I know they wouldn’t understand cos I’m usually so happy. I just want out, I can’t handle this anymore.

I’ve just closed one man out of my life because he promised me a second chance, only to then decide he preferred my underage best friend, and that destroyed me because it’s taken a year for me to come to terms with the fact that I liked someone, because I was abused by my boyfriend about 4 years ago. Now I’m seeing someone I’m not supposed to be seeing because apparently all hell breaks loose if I do, and anyway, I can’t tell how he feels towards me, and I’m supposed to be moving away and so is he.

I’m just one big mess, I sit at the computer and on my bed and I go out and try to shop, do anything to make me feel better. I have no idea what to do anymore. I stare at my phone for hours. I’m meant to be at a Tim Minchin gig in an hour, I could still get there, but I don’t want to leave the house. I honestly can’t stand this.

i kinda know how you feel, just before my final year of high school, i got very depressed, i must admit i felt suicidal, there was no pressure and i dont know why i felt that way, i just couldnt stop crying, fortunately enough after a week i was feeling fine again, i still have no idea why.

maybe you feel this way because of the pressure to succeed as well as possible finacial pressure etc, just remember as long as you have tried your best, it doesnt matter if you fail.

i would suggest taking a break from guys, get your head around things. if you really like the guy then he will understand and give you time.

i wish you the best of luck

Thanks for that, it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one. I’m all moved in at uni now.. Will have to wait and see what happens! :)
