:banghead: Im 14 and depressed... ive been depressed for almost 3years... and only just getting help...
Ive fucked up life... my family hate me because i hide in my room and when im out i am always at the edge of the crowd or walking behind them never actually with them or apart of the family... and they are forever telling me to smile...
My friends hate me because i dont want to go out because i make everyone depressed, i wont go to parties because i feel out of place and alone, (social anxiety SUCKS)
School... School... School... stress... too many people... mind wanders because i find the work easy... but because of that i get into shit for being sat there doing 'nothing' its like wtf no i finished the work! and then the teachers get in a huff because they have to set me more work... also because i find everything easy along comes the bullying... the joys
My health... well sh... not eating properly... and until this year bottling my feelings and not recieving help till this year...
Future... well after ive attempted suicide twice i dont feel i have a future! it sucks it really fucking does...
Day in day out i struggle with the same shit... having to try and hide myself whereever possible because i dont like to be seen... trying to constantly wear baggy clothes and jumpers because i dont like my appearence... each day i have to go out there and put a smile on my face... and it aint fucking easy... and i cant not do it without getting told off or getting called grumpy!
And then today... boiling hot weather... have to wear t-shirt and shorts to the park, scar on my arm... mark on my leg... split knuckle... and scratches on my other arm... cant remember doing any of them... then my dad goes to me this evening 'whats that? been hurting yourself to make you look hard have you?'
FFS... no one understands me... its all too much...

You have to remember that in another 14 years, hell maybe even 10 years you will be an entirely different person and look back at yourself and wonder why you couldn't be a happier person, I certainly do now.
Truth is you haven't fucked anything up, if you aren't in prison then generally you haven't fucked anything up. It can feel like you have when you get all depressed and in a rut, but if you stick to things in school and get good grades, keep moving forwards and asking yourself at the end of every day what you did to make yourself better, even listing it down factually then you can keep a track of how you are doing.
As for your health, you are a teenager and therefore invincible, as long as you remember to shower or bathe every 2 days and don't have Scurvy you are doing alright. Anything good that you eat will help and let you become stronger!
Never worry about bullies, bullies are people just like you and me but rather than sit quietly they take out their social anxieties out on others - pretty much everyone who bullied me at school is now a socially anxious adult - and if things get too much and nobody will help just punch one of them a bunch of times and nobody will fuck with you again. Remember that last one as the last resort and it helps, because you can end bullying in one go, you just choose not to because it is a bad solution to an easy problem.
That was a bit of a rambling reply! To summarise... Everything will be fine in the end, just keep working and keep trying to make yourself better and in future things will seem trivial!
What's occurin?
I have put a link here from our site about issues around anxiety and stress, I hope this helps. It tells you about different symptoms of anxiety and it gives you advice around it.
http://thesite.org/healthandwellbeing/mentalhealth/anxietyandstress/anxietyandstress
Anxiety and stress can be linked into why you are not eating properly as well and why you have lost your appetite which is pretty normal in the way you are feeling at the moment. Even if you do not feel like eating try to make sure you drink plenty of fluids especially with this hot weather even if it a scrumptious ice lolly
I have also put another link here around self-esteem as having confidence within yourself is a hard thing to go through and I can see from your post is something you are struggling with, so I hope this helps a little

What SnuggleBubbles says about the bullies literally hits the nail in the head! The bullies have their own insecurities and instead of dealing with their own issues they cowardly take it out on someone else which doesn't make it right. Maybe if you try and talk to a teacher who you trust or a worker at the school about this. Being bullied isn't right and is possibly one of the reason why you feel so anxious going to school and socially. I know I am putting a lot of links on here but here is another one for you to read which may help.

Have you broken up for your summer holidays yet?

Flow was having a shitty half hour as per normal :L and well yeah still shitty as u know fiend
purple_rain : thanks ill take a look at the links... just struggling with loads of stuff and just dont know what to do about it all... ill be fine eventually
SnuggleBubbles: Thanks. i know i just need to go with the flow... its just that i never feel ok with everything going on
I'm glad the boards provide a space where you can offload your thoughts, as it seems from reading that, that you're really struggling at the moment, and I want you to know that it is okay to be struggling, it is okay to feel he way you do. Like you say, you are human, you have depression and are getting help for it - it seems to me that you're right though, you need some extra support maybe. As it is okay to feel so crap, its not fair on you at all. It's robbing you of a life you deserve. The way the above is written, comes across to me as though you're battling with your head, a constant, ongoing arguement with strongholds. Which is so hard. I know this myself with other things.
It seems like you have a lot to deal with at the moment, with your relative's cancer, and others feelings as well as your own. I wish I had the answers to Cancer and other awful illnesses that take lives from the world, but I can assure you that bamps is fighting as hard as they can and if they do go, they will be pain free and with you no matter what. I lost my uncle lost friday, to a sudden heart attack so not quite the same, but no one has all the answers as to why these things happen. It's great that you have friends such as Hannah and Fiend who keep you going, but it's also important to reach out and aim for recovery for you. Because you want to do it. It sounds like you're a lot like me, thinking of everyone else and forgetting about yourself. You matter you know, honestly. You need to focus some of that care and time you have for others, on yourself. Worrying about how others are feeling is good, but not great to this extent and not what you need to be focusing all your attention on right now. I'm sorry you're struggling with self harm etc - TS provides great help on this so do check out the pages if you have time. Also, talk to people who love you and care about you - they'll be gutted to find out they could have helped you but you suffered in silence. Grip help whilst it is available. You deserve it. Because you are struggling, does not mean you are weak, a failure, a let down etc...or any other negative comment that your depression etc tells you. They are LIES. Dismiss them as much as you can - write out positive things about your life and your self (there are loads I promise) and put them on sticky notes etc around your bathroom mirror/bedroom mirror/walls...and repeat them when you see them. It helps lots. We don't give up on you, I definately don't. I defo do mean it when I say I understand, i've recently been put back on a ton of medication for a number of things similar to your situation and life has been awful, hence why i've not been online, but i'm trying to take me time, which is what I recommend for you
Always here for you and apologies for a beasty essay of a reply.
Take care x x

Just bursting out into tears for nothing...
FML! FMFL FUCK IT FUCK IT ALL!!!!!!!
Help...
I burst into tears for nothing every now and then. Have you tried to work out why?
When it happens I always try to work out if something triggered it. If there isn't anything I put it down to stress or my hormones. And I always phone someone I trust to talk it through.
BIG HUGS xx. *hug*
