how am i supposed to talk to my mum about getting anti-depressants
i had to prove to her with a nervous breakdown that i needed anxiety medication
shes going to say im faking it isnt she
shes going to doubt me
i can feel myself drifting away and im trying to ground myself the best i can but its not working
i dont want to fall into this cycle again
of feeling numb
having to force emotions makes me tired please i don't want to do it again

[connoisseur]

M-my boyfriend broke up with me
I wanted to ask another guy, who i think is really cute
But apparently he has a girlfriend, a girl who I don't hate but don't like much
I'm really depressed now because i know I have no future with any guys
No guys like me at my school
I am about to cry...
I feel like a total wreck

reminder; you shouldn't cry over boys. they aren't worth your time. it does not matter if all guys at your school like you, as long as you like yourself. also, it takes time for people to grow to like another person. calm down, i know its hard in this situation, but you will make it.

don't let people that aren't worth your time drag you down. ♡

this isn't really a comfort needing kind of post but im not sure where else to put it. if this isn't the right place, then please pm me and ill remove it, but provide me with other forums where i could post this.

here's a scenario that has occurred before and id like to know the proper way to handle it if it comes up again, ill use simple names for convenience:

bob: hey joe, what'd you get on that assignment?
joe: oh, i got a hundred percent/*and or shows paper to bob*. what'd you get bob?
*bob slouches a bit in his seat and whatnot, embarrassed*
bob: not that great *mumbles and doesn't show paper/shows paper*

etc, etc. every scenario will not play out the same exact as this, but you get the point. how should joe respond to bob when he see's his score and its, well.. terrible? should joe say "aww, better luck next time!" or "you still did great!" im not thinking thats right. id like to know what other people here think joe should say to bob that kind of brings bobs spirit up. if:

joe: "you did great though!"
bob: "im a fail.."

basically the same thing as before but if bob keeps putting himself down, what should joe do? any advice on anything joe should say to bob would be great. (and if you didn't already know, these are fake names but this could be a real scenario and im seeking advice on it should be solved).

well, this is a matter of personal opinion and the response(s) could be different depending on the relationships the two have.

although, joe should offer bob help, or tutoring lessons. maybe suggest if he can talk to the teacher for a re-test, or possible credit points. joe should tell bob that he ISNT a failure, but that humans arent always perfect. each person has different talents and different understandings in subjects.

hope this helps.

nobody listens.

they see it, buy ignore.. i understand, an ugly nerd like me doesn't need attention from anybody. an ugly nerd like me doesn't need to be trusted. and ugly nerd like me deserves to lose friends. an ugly nerd like me should have her so called friends ignore her. an ugly nerd like me shouldn't even have a life. she should be dead. they called me stupid, dumb, ugly, slow, and a b****.. i.. i understand, they never had what i had to feel.. they're rich, they have their own computer, 50 dollars.. get to go around to see their other friends.. they have a life. life's not fair, why does the rain have to bother somebody who needs the sunshine?

does he want to torture the weak? i thought he was good.. jokes on me again, hold back the tears.. lying everyday, trouble is me.. im sorry, okay? having something you tried so hard for being swiped away and thrown in the trash by your own parents? put your self in my shoes, what? oh.. you dont want to be me, sorry..

i wish i was with somebody i never seen, but she loves me like i love her.. so much. i wish we were sisters. she understands, she feels my pain, she gets bullied. kicked, taunted.. i want to hug her and say shes not the only one.. i wish i wasn't me.. i wish i had a good life, wealthy, girly-girl, sweet, have people like you, beautiful, my face describes pain itself..

if i told them everything, every little pain.. every single thing i go threw everyday, they would still bully me, because im a weakling.. im trying! i really am, okay? i want good grades, a good friend who stays by me forever.. obviously, she wasn't my friend, you dont look into the future to see if you guys will be bffs forever.. you think that.. you think that youll stand by eachother, you say it, to.. then she goes ahead and hates me because i said a joke about to other people she doesnt even like! and now shes on their side and hates me.. we did so much together, but i seen our friendship tearing apart as we went on to another grade, she stopped talking to me and went to the cool kids.. what a back stabber.. i want to kill her for what she put me threw, honestly.

i was happy to find out that im telepathic, it made me think that.. im special, i have a talent.. but no, they had to crush me.. i have feelings and they act as if im dump. trust is a word people think i dont have, because i break it so easily, its a sign that i'm just not ready to have a good friend.. ill ruin it, because i ruin everything! im supposed to be excited for halloween, but im not sure if shes coming to my house to go trick or treating with me, well, guess im going with my parents again, i never have any friends to trick or treat with..

sorry, i had to let that out.. and im sorry if theres that one person, that i wasted your time.. i like my feelings expressed to people i dont know..

My family is uncooperative. All I want to do is hang out with my only true friends tonight, and of course, they have to move slow as Christmas, lecture me for an hour, and I completely miss my appointment with them [friends]. Not to mention my siblings have absolutely no respect for me, it's freaking irritating. Now i feel like breaking down and crying, it's basically a big sign saying "no one cares" in my face.

Now my parents are threatening to take away everything that keeps me rooted, just because my grades aren't scholarship worthy. No more books, no more horses, no more enjoyment in life but work, work, work. Every time i visit my stables, it gives me reward for all my troubles and keeps me going. You could say it's what makes my life worth living. The same could be said for anime, manga/books, and the very few things i enjoy in life.

I need a break, and I'm clearly not going to get one.

[incandescence,]

I just feel sad. It's raining outside, I was supposed to see my best friend tonight, and she won't answer the phone. I'm also listening to "yesterday" by the Beatles, and it managing to make me even more sad. I don't know why. I'm just tired I guess.

[shim]

May I get a pm please...? Need a small bit of advice or just some comfort I guess.

[vval]

Edit ; I have my own solution, nevermind. Sorry for that.

I wish I was more confident and self-accepting.
I follow so many gorgeous people on tumblr, and all I want to do is show off my Halloween costume.
But I hate my body, and I know I'm not attractive.
I've already accepted that I'm never going to marry or have kids.
All I want is someone who honestly thinks I'm cute, and is excited by me.
I'm miserable being myself, and it sucks.

[quietlights]

can you just
please accept me for who i am
please accept my pronouns
thanks.

I thought I was alright, now that I'm with her again- she's all I needed, right? To be happy? She makes me so happy..so, why is the sadness lingering? It should be gone. Why isn't it?? I want it to be gone, forever. I don't want to be sad anymore. Somewhere, though, in the back of my mind, all the pain is still there. She just helps me to ignore it. When the happiness outweighs the sadness, that's what happens- it feels like the sadness isn't even there. But it is. It keeps coming back when I'm happiest.

I also am frustrated with myself, because I apparently can't even come out properly. My sister obviously didn't understand what I was trying to say, and I was too dang scared to just tell her.
I just want to be myself. I'm tired of hiding. I'm not a girl. I want to tell everyone that. Of course, it was easy coming out to all my internet friends when I didn't even know who I really was, mainly because they're all online and because I really just wanted attention back then. This is different. I finally know who I am and I can't figure out how to tell my family, or my friends.
So I sent her a meme. Of course. She thought it was a joke because I always joke around and show them memes and funny pictures but, no, this time I wasn't joking and I was just too scared to actually tell her. Go me.
