It's Hard!

[lauraeissa]

It's hard! It's hard to feel lonely whilst being surrounded by your loved ones. It's hard to lose hope in all your dreams and not be able to stand up again. It's hard to wish that you fall into a comma, or just simply die. It's hard to feel that your one step away from your grave when you're only 18. It's hard to not be able to speak and express your thoughts. It's hard when you get anxious for the silliest reason like being scared a gift doesn't come on time. It's hard to get pain attacks. It's hard to feel frozen and extremely ill just because you have a test coming up. I've never been to therapy, and I don't even know if I actually have depression and an anxiety disorder. All I know is that I need help and that I'm tired of walking alone and trying to convince the ones I love that I need help and that it isn't just a face. Any suggestions?

It’s really hard. My first suggestion would be to see a doctor or therapist who can diagnose you and help you find coping mechanisms and sometimes retrain your thoughts or prescribe medications to help if necessary. You’re so young and the sooner you work on it the sooner things will start to improve. Good luck! Sending hugs

Hi there! You are only 18 years young and if you go to your doctor asap,take his advice and also seek out local support groups....you have every reason to be successful. Ok it won't be overnight,but you have so much in life you've not experienced yet. So seek help from GP first and accept all the help you can. You can do this with help,its the days when you're feeling so low,anxious,depressed that you/we tend to base our whole life is like that-which of course isn't true.

Do come back,keep in touch as we'd love to hear how you get on if that's ok with you?

So sorry you are enduring this kind of pain. I hope the good Lord offers a hand. If it offers some solace, please know, you are not alone. I hope you find your path. God bless.
