Lost

[youngndumbb]

I’ve been sad for the past couple of months. I started to at least try to be happy and not so down and feeling bad for myself and it worked for a little bit, but now i’ve started to feel worthless and like life is pointless. (btw my parents don’t let me go out much so i’m always home) i feel trapped and i don’t know how to move forward or what to do with my future. the future actually really scares me. i don’t know what to do or how to stop feeling this way i just need help. anybody got any advice?

Okay, so my first question is, do you understand why you are feeling sad?

Is it the situation at home, why are you not allowed out much?

Happy can be a byproduct of understanding ourselves. Why do you feel worthless?

Are you able to talk with your parents about how you feel? If not, what about a trusted friend? Pastor? School Counselor or local hospital? Checked the pinned posts on this site for crisis support helplines. It might help to talk with someone who can see your situation from a healthier perspective and offer you some insight and suggestions.

I have no idea how old you are but at any age feeling the way you describe can seem overwhelming. There is help available, its finding it, accessing it and learning more about why we feel the way we do sometimes, How long have you been struggling in this way?

It was very courageous of you to reach out and post. I wish you well on your journey,

Hi there, welcome to our supportive community.

I think you have seen how willing our members are to come alongside one another, and you have received a very good response from PNIAuthor60 which I support. Alarm bells are ringing in me though, when you say that your parents don't let you out of the home? I am very concerned and curious, why you feel trapped both physically and metaphorically. It would help us if you could explain your situation a little more so that we may be able to help you.

May I ask how old you are, and what part of the world your live? The reason is that if you are under 16 years old, you are not allowed to join this forum, but we can signpost you to an age appropriate site if this is the case. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions in the Community Guidelines (see pinned posts section).

May I suggest having a chat with your doctor regarding your low mood and what help he/she could offer? And has been suggested maybe having a chat with your school counsellor or pastoral team or a trusted adult would be helpful.

Take care,

Best wishes
