[FuBai]

to be honest i'd like to see others go though what im going through though just to see if they can call it teen angst then, becuuase to be honest i have protected those cosins of mine since they were born, my auntie with cancer i hardly ever see her as see lives far away so you can tell others who think its teen agst to go through what im going through without suicide becuase i tell u all what , life's f'ing hard for a teen being abused

I have something called Seasonal Affective Disorder, which became strongly apparent this last winter, when it was diagnosed properly. This meant I became depressed, I was drinking every day, I started taking drugs - cokain and ecstacy, and self harming. I did not become addicted to either of the two drugs, but I did become addicted to cigarettes and self harming. I sought help, and was put on fluoxetine, also known as prozac. When I was depressed I didn't know about S.A.D., and was paranoid about whether I was really depressed, or whether it was attention-seeking, or teen angst, or whether I was emotionaly dead so I was compelling my self to feel the one emotion I could feel, etc. I felt alone, even when I was with people, I became worried I was going insane etc. As to what is happening for you, I don't know. But all I can recommend is that you do simply go to your GP (if you live in Britain), and see what they think. I didn't tell anyone in my family for 3 months, because I was able to access help without having to pay for it, on the NHS, but if you live elsewhere, you may have to involve your parents, especialy considering your age. I have stopped self harming, I drink rarley, but I still smoke. The prozac really helped me.

First of all, I don't think it matters if what you're going through can be considered as teen angst or whatever. For the select, unsympathetic few, what you've got to realise is that if he feels so amazingly horribly, merely saying "it's teen angst, get over it." is a poor attitude to adopt and to reply with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just because someone else out there is possibly suffering worse, does not make his situation less important. For me, it merely highlights the fact that we all should put in that little bit more effort to be compassionate. To give someone else help and aid where we can, in the full knowledge that you would want that same help and aid if you were in the same predicament.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In terms of your situation dacona, I would suggest you do as others may have suggested previously, talk to your father, mother and brother. Attempt to resolve something with them. Even if you can't, at least you'll KNOW where and what the problem lies, rather than not knowing. At least then, you won't have to double-guess yourself and you can at least, with peace of mind, try to address your problem/s now that you know exactly where they stem from.
