There's Something Very Wrong...

Former Member

Hey, so my parents pointed something out about me earlier that they are worried about and now I'm worried too. Basically, I've been seeing my relationship with both my parents and friends as pretty rough. I've been believing I am unwanted, unloved and that people just want me gone. However, I've finally said something about my family relationships and my parents said that isn't what has been happening at all. That it's all what's in my head. I still don't know whether or not I believe them. They say they worry for me because I'm awful in social situations. Because I don't go out and see friends outside of school, because I don't leave my room or socialise. They worry because I struggle to keep any kind of relationship, that they thought I didn't want to be around them because of what I think and how I act. I don't know if there's something wrong with me. I already went to the doctors and they are referring me to a counsellor so I should be seeing them soon probably. I'm just scared that if this is all in my head, what else isn't real? I don't really know what to think anymore, I'm just pretty damn scared. I don't even know what could be wrong with me, I don't know anything that sounds quite like this. I don't know what I'm expecting by posting this here. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Hi joel

Sorry to hear this is happening to you. It can be hard when others say something nice or kind to us and we don't believe it. Often its just a perspective of looking at our selfs and hopefully counselling should help you to like and respect yourself a bit more. If you'd like to chat one to one i would recommend child-line , they can really help.

We also have a group support chat here at the mix where you can get peer to peer support which may hep you to find people in the same situation as you and may be able to give different advice and solutions.

Hope this helps
take care

Hey Joel,

How are you doing today? These feelings you've been having sound difficult to deal with Why do you think it is that you've been feeling unwanted and unloved?

It can feel scary when we can't really make sense of things and there's a lot going on in your head. Is there anything you enjoy doing that might help you to feel a sense of calm and unwind when you're feeling like this?

Everybody manages social situations differently, and you certainly aren't the only one who struggles with this. You mentioned that it was something your parents are worried about, how do you feel about it? Is there anyone you do feel comfortable hanging out with, or feel that you can talk to?

It's great that you're talking about it on here, as well as discussing it with your parents, and thinking about speaking to a counsellor. As Louisa mentioned, our support chat or one-to-one chat are around if it's something you might like to try :yes:

Keep talking to us if you feel it helps *hug*
