I am just so confused and scared and all these feelings all bundled together and I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do....all of you have given me advice and suggestions about what to do in my situation, but I can't make sense of any of it. One of the main things I've heard is "think positively" but the only issue I seem to be stumbling over is this: how do I think positively, and when I accomplish that, how do I make myself believe that positive thought? Just because I say "today is going to be a good day" doesn't mean at all that my mind believes that, it's just a lie, nor does it mean that today really is going to be a good day. I just can't figure that out. I don't know how to make myself a better person. I just want to be happy....and I can't see it happening. I have everything a person could want....except a decent job, but that's not the point. Point is that I can't find happiness in my life, and I can't stand it anymore....it's making me miserable that I am not how I used to be. I have this horrible feeling that doesn't seem to go away and it is destroying me. I just don't know what to do....I am so lost and confused and hurt and dammit I'm going crazy. Does anybody have anything else that might be able to help me>? I'm so desperate.....I need help and I can't even get that.....I don't even know why I post this because it sounds like my last 30 posts on here and nothing has changed....I feel now like I am just wasting all of your time because this is like a broken record I know.

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...
Sun, I know all too well how crappy life can be...and maybe its just my view, but there has to be answers, Right? There has to be something that can make it better, isn't there?
For more info on my feelings, please feel free to read my journal....it explains more in depth what I'm feeling...just didn't want to put it all in here because I know people are tired of hearing the same old crap from me.
i do believe that you would be helped by anti-depressants as wanamaker sujested, you sound so down to me that this could be a good option for you....make an appt with your doctor and tell them honestly how you are feeling and that youve been feeling this way for quit some time now.....
therapy is a good option for you as well, someone to talk to, they can make sure that you are on the right track, you would be suprised at how these things when put together can really change your life.....it takes a long time but its worth the effort it really is.....
in the meantime you have lots of support here and there is always someone to talk to.....hope this helped some.....
hope this helped, good luck, hang in there slick

Give yourself a chance.
I know it seems like hell, and it is, but if you can just hold out in however way you can manage, until you are 18 and you can get some of your own help, there is much more hope for you. Right now you are in between a rock and a hard place, but you will not always be that way. I have spent the last 2 years since Isaac died desperate, too. And it is so difficult for me right now, too. But I have learned over time, that usually means, I am about to break through into another higher level of my life - this is the monster at the end of your level you need to beat it in order to get to the next one -- that is the game of life.
Take heart, and don't give up.
