Im tired, tired of school. tired of running. tired of life. i dont want to be here. its too much. im 15 years old. i cant deal with cancer. I cant deal with hearing my brother crying at night. I cant deal with acting happy and fine when all i want to do is scream. scream at god, mom,my brother. i dont want to deal with this. i just want to erase everything. erase all my mistakes, all the cancer, all the tears. i hate cryiing. when im crying i feel so selfish and discusting. mom has the cancer. my brother has the down syndrome. grandpas the one who died. no me. i hate it that i cant talk to my friends about this. i hate that im awkward and that i cant express how i feel. i hate that noone asks how i am. its always my brother, my mom, or my dad. neve rme. they dont ask me because im "hard to read" so im told. so they ask my mom. all she can say is "i think so" because she doesnt know. we dont talk much. which makes it harder. cause i know i could lose her at any minute. she could die while im at school. id never get to say i love her. or that id miss her tons. or that i dont want her to go. i just want to go away. where everything is perfect. where disease, school, and problems were forbidden. i want to be happy again

My mom had cancer for over 12 years, she got it when I was 16. It was very hard and stressful. School was a nightmare and noone ever asked me how I was, it was always how's your mom. Its a very hard time in anyone's life when a family member is sick. When my grandma died I was 18, part of me died with her. Life is always full of struggles and all you can do is face them one at a time. I'm here if you need me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
