I feel so numb - My Agony Aunt

Comments

I know this sounds cliche but I understand what you'r going through. Over christmas i split up with my boyfriend, i was under a lot of school pressure and my parents also split up. It's hard and it feels like you just don't have the energy to do anything anymore. But you can get through this. What are the things that make you happiest? Do you have a hobby or maybe one friend you can talk to?
I think i got over my depression by confiding in one friend, who incidentally turned out to be my ex boyfriend. (weird huh?)
I'm only in year 10 but our problems are as important as anyone else's. Try to be as positive as you can be.
-Another thing is food. Try and eat the right foods, getting a healthier diet (as in more fruit/ veggies) can give you the right fuel to keep on going ^-^
It worked for me, and now i feel much better that I've gotten over a hard time in my life.
Don't give up hope and remember that you are most definitely not alone x

It's hard for you; of course, you're worried about yr parents and the house& no one child wants their parents to divorce.

You need to realize that it's not yr fault; whatever happens between yr parents is their responsibility and not yours.

You must talk to someone and let it all out; bottling up yr feelings will make you sick. Talk to a trusted friend or a trained counselor. Also, it helps to keep a journal or write a letter to yr parents about how you feel and then burn it; don't send it.

Try also to be supportive of yr parents but try to have a life of your own. Get out with yr friends, and make time for hobbies and excercise. Be sure to keep studying as yr parents will be proud yo do well in school. Be sure to eat well& look after yourself.

But before anything else, find someone you trust (friend, teacher, counselor, aunt, whoever) and tell them how you feel. When you release your emotions, you will feel like a big load is off your shoulders.

Remember your parents may not divorce. If they do, it's hard but it's not the end of divorce (I know that from experience). You will take a while to adjust but you will feel happier if they live apart and yr dad continues to see you rather than have them live together and be fighting and unhappy all the time. Remember they will ALWAYS love you even if they don't stay together. You just want them to be happy as they want YOU to be happy.

See a counselor today and live your own life. Be strong and trust that things will happen for the better.

I hope things get better for you and your family.

Wow. I feel the same only i am in year 10. We are in debt due to my dad's gambling and drug addiction and mum wants a divorce but can't because she has to much to lose. I've felt alone and empty for a long time, i feel like nobody understands me, not even me. I don't know whether the word 'lost' explains how i am but i just don't belong anywhere. What i do is just express myself with clothes and my love of fashion, i sidetrack myself and just try gain control of my life by helping my mum around the house and keep a journal and how i hate my dad and how he has ruined our lives. Good luck. I know this sounds corny but i'll be thinking of you when i feel alone, knowing i'm not the only one. We are strong and one day we'll make it big.
