feeling alone

Former Member

so ive not been here for that long and none of you really know me. But im feeling alone. Things are going wrong, everything is up in the air now, im trying to decide whether to go from face to face to online counseling because im struggling so much with face to face. People at college are just being awful. The students are just treating me as if i have no feelings and am a waste of space, which i probably am.
I cant go to family for help because they cause too many of these problems for me, we dont have a strong relationship at all. I cant wait to leave home in all seriousness, been counting down since ive been about 11!
What am i meant to do? December is coming closer things are just messed up, college is turning into a horrible place, friends are a mess. I seem to be ruining everything, im trying not to go back to my old ways. but so far i am slowly!
sorry for this message, just need help so alone.

Hey RoseBud,

It was great chatting to you in chat last night, and don't worry about us not knowing you to well, just a massive well done for posting, it sounds like you have a hell of a lot of strain on you at the moment, but remember you will always have us *hug* The issue with face 2 face counselling, you need to build a bond of trust, and you both need to get to know each other, and from personal experiances I know that can be difficult, but maybe online counselling could be a starter point for now, maybe it's just having that someone there you can actually talk to, with being fully confidential. Mindfull.org , is a useful website to look at, supporting young people under the age of 19.

It's a mental health specific, and also have mental health specialist, as well as mentors of your own age who can support you as and when you need it. They also have online counsellors who are on from early till 12, midnight! Not sure when the website opens sadly! But for you it might just have that starter barrior before actually giving more to face 2 face. To be honest, I would ALWAYS reccomend you go for face 2 face, in comparison to online, as face to face for me personally is so much more helpful, depending on the therapy, but they can take acts to keep you safe, and also give you contact numbers for when you're in crisis.

I'm sorry to hear about college, it sounds rather shitty! Would you like to tell us a bit more about what the students at college are doing? Maybe we can offer more support if we know what's goingon? - You, a waste of space? You're off your rocker, you're most defo not a waste of space, we loved having you in chat last night, totes just think people in your college need to enrich there Llama side more

It can often be difficult when we don't have a decent relationship with the rest of our family, and I personally found that difficult myself, until getting my parents involved with CAMHS, and having CAMHS support us both, enriching our family lives, maybe it's about building a relationship, but with a bit of support, if you do go forward with face 2 face counselling? But where here for you - How would you say your family relationship was at the moment?

I remember you post on december hate, sadly I don't have much to add to what Ella had written to be honest, amazing words! And NEVER apologize for posting! It's a difficult thing to post some time, so well done! Do keep reaching out to us, and keep us updated,

Best wishes,
Angel
