Hi I’m a 17 yr old girl

and lately (last two months) I’ve been feeling like crap cos not only do I feel unwanted but I am hurting loads in my chest, like a sad despair kind of hurt that makes me want to curl up and cry. I think its a culmination of having so many friends around me have people they love die/ are suicidal/ diagnosed with cancer and I’m terribly lonely and its my final year at high school so stress and sadness weigh on me. I’m becoming desperate for human affection and I feel like I can’t tell the people I know, because I’ll cry and I feel stupid and weak crying over my issues to them when there are people so much worse off than me. when I console my friends over their issues with school (such as only getting 70% in an exam when I average 50%)I end up making them smile but I’m realising that saying “hey its ok I only got 50%” is like saying “its ok toddlers cant do what you do” they expect me to fail the exams and then console them. and to guys I feel like the only thing I have to offer is the ability to listen, and to be honest that’s like offering a billionaire 5c

Can you talk to your parents about all this? I kinda think maybe you should see a doctor to make sure you aren’t suffering from clinical depression?

Is there anyone you can talk to?

To me its like everyone is using you to vent their problems too and you ave no-one to get them off YOUR chest…

you need to find some sort of outlet that you can just talk to - what options do you have to vent?

Hello..I can feel you. Let me tell you something. A girl called Karise just won a TV show competition called ‘ The Voice’.
She was in a womens refuge 12 months ago! In faith of her own abilities she stepped into ‘chance’! An arena of doing, acting from frustration and faith can get your ‘there’! Use this as leverage!!
IF you cannot act with talent of some skill, act into your self. Lead your purpose of intention into meditation! Console your immortal soul for comfort. Ask and listen for your own inner guidence!
It is there! It is not fantasy but the real you that awaits! At dusk and in the dawning hours! Your own discovery and unveiling~! Think peace and Let love live.
