i just feel like giving up

There once was a caterpillar, - the caterpillar was about to give up, he was about to give up on the world,
but then, he turned into a beautiful butterfly.

don't give up, - the caterpillar didn't.

I'm worried
Two things
First. At school, stomach flu is going around. I have an irrational fear of vomiting. It scares me. I don't know why but it does. I feel sick, if I have the stomach bug or not. I'm just so worried and with anxiety it isn't any easier...
Second. My friend is really depressed. All she does during our study time (my school provides a half hour at the end of the day) but all she does is look at fanfics. Her parents won't let her do it at home anymore. For good reason. She is obsessive. She somewhat identifies as LGBT, but her parents reject that. I myself am bi and am worried about what her parents may do if they found out. Anyways, she refuses to be social and has spoken before about... something of a more delicate nature than I am willing to post outright on the boards. I just need advice on how to help her, if anything.

Sorry. I've been here so much lately

Your friend needs professional help. You can only be there for her as support, but it's not going to replace therapy and/or medication. Depression is an illness just like any other, and it needs to be treated. Tell a trusted adult - teacher, school nurse, counselor, anyone who might be willing to help her get the help she needs.

If you are in doubt, don't do it. Your safety is important. However if your mother has previously been positive towards LQBT+ it is a different story.

My father and brother do not understand my anxiety. I am extremely scared of gaining permanent bodily damage of some kind (eg limbs, vision, brain etc.). I already have acquired damage of some kind (not counting my birth), since I have tinitus and an allergy I started suffering from later in life.

Every time I hurt something or do something my father always points out the worst case scenario and the most damage something can do. Eg I'll have hurt my hand and he'll say 'That could be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.' or 'If you pee a lot, that can be diabetes' (He scared me so much with that that I had my blood measured and I don't have it, according to his diabetes meter, I just need to use the bathroom more often than some others .) He can never say something in a way that doesn't totally freak me out.

My brother on the other hand just started talking about how it is possible to get brain damage from sleep deprivation for a longer period of time. Ever since I was small I was already an insomniac, but last year and the year before that my mental health got out of hand and I took really bad care of myself so I barely slept during that time. Now I am very scared because of my brother's talk that I also have brain damage.

I try to explain to them how scared that makes me but they never listen. I don't want to search for the consequences of sleep deprivation on the Internet because I know from experience that that will only scare me more. I don't know what to do anymore ....

Last week I had a fight with my boyfriend. He told everyone about it. I try move on from it. He broke up with me as there's "" Too much" publicty and blamed Me! I can't help but cry daily. I fell behind in school and I stopped eating. My ribs poke through my chest now. I don't know how to feel. Angry? Sad? Happy? Free? Lonely? Help me please. I broke down writing this. He made his brother bully my sister with him and now a have a black eye and bleeding nose. I fought for my sis as I love her. She's helping me through this.


Sorry if they bully part was too much....

You need to tell an adult about the bullying. If they are beating someone up, that is REALLY serious and he deserves to get in trouble for it.

As for the breakup, as much as yoiu might hate hearing this, time heals all wounds. It might take days, weeks, months, but eventually it will start to hurt less and you'll get over it. Just try to distract yourself for the time being. Watch a nice movie, grab some of your favorite snacks or even a meal, and drink some hot tea to get some liquid in your body.

So, this morning I woke up late, my mom told me school was delayed two hours due to icy roads, so I was like "cool".
Then, two hours later, on the road to school, we hit a patch of ice, swerved into another patch and hit and knocked down a lamp post.
Me and my brother didn't go to school, I was so scared. What if the lamp post wasn't there, we would have swerved into a house and a car, someone could have died.
Everyone is fine, thank god, but, I'm just so scared. I made food when I got home because it was almost 12 and I didn't eat anything, I din't finished my food and I haven't really talked to my brother, the only things I told him were to talk the dogs out and if he wanted food. God, everything always goes to hell either on or near my birthday.
I'm just a bad luck charm, aren't I? My mom ended up getting arrested, my dad has to fly back here, my dad finally decided to grow up and actually help us for once when we need him, he did some paperwork and my mom will be released in about an hour or so. If anyone got hurt, I don't know what I'd do... I am so happy my brother and my mom are safe.
My anxiety still hasn't fully left me, but everything is OK now.
