Nothing

Well, I'm 15 and lately I'm not sure how I feel. I feel empty, stressed, worthless, and sleep deprived. 


I go to school and teachers constantly tell me how smart I am and say that I'm going to get far in life, but when I come home I get told that I'm a lazy, worthless person. I'm constantly getting yelled at and I'm not sure how to handle it anymore. 


At night I have trouble sleeping and I'm lucky to be asleep before 5 or 6 in the morning. Some nights I'm too scared to sleep and others I just can't. 


I've been big ball of emotions lately and I just need some people to talk to.

Hey. It sounds to me like you are being abused at home. Your home should be your number one place where you feel safe and comforted. Do you live with parents? Are there drugs & alcohol involved? I feel so sad for you. Is there someone you can talk to? Like a counselor or close friend? I've been reading different posts on this site since I'm new to this group. I registered after seeing your post just to talk to you. I hope things will get better for you. I'm here if you want to talk further.

There's no drugs or alcohol and I don't have any close friends, I'm supposed to see a psychaitrist once a week but my mom says it's all for attention and that there's nothing wrong with me so I don't need to see anyone. It's not easy living here.

Hi,

so I can relate to you when i was 15..i dealt with some of the same things..i went to a counselor when i was younger. Im 23 now. Yelling or fighting with your parents won't help the situation it will only make it worse. But, you need to remind yourself that you are smart, and a hard worker, and beautiful. and prove it to them so they shut up. Show them your grades, and what you are accomplishing. communication is key. Also, speak to them about how it makes you feel when you are told you are lazy and how you are being yelled at. But, i am curious to know why you are scared to sleep at night.. and what they are yelling at you about... Maybe you need to do chores? or maybe you don't like their rules? but if that is so, you have to remember you are living in their house and you are just 15... life goes by so fast , enjoy being a kid. seriously. I'm 23, and adult life is ok haha comes with pros and cons. but youll miss being a kid. Also, i would recommend getting a close friend so you can hangout with them more instead of at home so much, get your mind of things ...I fought with my parents all the time when i was younger.... things do get better though. i promise. .. hope this helps.
