Do you have family and/or friends you can talk to? If not then at least get some help for yourself and look for new ways to meet people like through meet up online.

You are not alone. You will make friends in this group. Continue to post and you will find people who can relate to you. You will find they are ready to listen and offer support. Have you considered joining a club group at your school if they have any to offer? Can you talk to your parents and tell them how you are feeling? You could talk with your school counselor? Do you have any close friends who you can talk to?

you are very young, yet expected at times to be adult like...very hard...add into the mixture high school clicks, hormones, responsibilities, boys, etc can be upsetting also. Please Please do not resist getting help from your parents, or a teacher/school counselor...if you are fearful, honey you just have to take that risk...to find wellness...so many kids your age resort to different types of self-harm, drugs, alcohol whatever...you do Have A Choice....please make a choice for getting help Now! Your parents love you, despite them driving you nuts with the can's and can'ts....they do understand, and You Are Not Alone with being confused, lonely or scared....the difference is You Made The Decision to reach out for help..please continue with people who love you and can do more than type words~~~You are Important! This has been going on since May...have you seen a Doctor or seeing a therapist? Taking medication or not? How are you helping yourself?

She would always tell me that I chose to...

    It's been some time since my last post...sorry. I've been going through a challenging time with the sale of my home, purchase of a condo and my adult asperger son that lives with me. I've had days where I couldn't get out of bed, days where I stayed in my pj's and days where all I managed to do was eat, drink fluids and take care of my Sweet Mia kitty. Sweet Mia came to me from a shelter about...
