Totally Fed Up! Should i even be here ? Posted: 02-11-08 17:22pm
Hello! This is the first time I%u2019ve
ever done anything like this so please
bear with me and hear me out. As I%u2019m
a stubborn lad (unfortunately) and think I
should deal with it all by myself, its
took me 4 years now to talk about
what%u2019s really let me go in terms of
why I don%u2019t want to be here anymore.
I%u2019m 20years old and have always been
noted for the advantages I had back at
school, like many others on here. I was
one of them %u201Cpopular lads%u201D in
the school and I was full of confidence
and always had a Girlfriend (who always
seemed to be the popular girl)%u2026 My
head is already starting to rattle here.
As a kid I always felt rejected in
comparison to my brother, I was completely
disregarded because I%u2019m not the
'cuddly' type of son. I always sat by
myself playing, and from a young age iv
grown to know that if I don%u2019t bother
others, then they won%u2019t bother me!
That way I won%u2019t get hurt anymore! Is
this right?
I used to have tons of friends back at
school. but now my best friend in the
whole world is my nanna. sad I know. Plus
I get the unconditional love from my two
gorgeous baby sisters. Even though I do
still try take care of myself, I feel I
have let myself down in every way
possible! I%u2019ve had one suicide
attempt failure after I finally stood up
to everything and let it all out. I
usually keep my emotions behind closed
doors and I feel embarrassed if others see
me. I even feel embarrassed now. I should
be sat in a pub somewhere right now,
watching Newcastle get beat, but that will
just dampen any hope of getting back on
track to the way I%u2019m supposed to be.
But this is so hard trying to put a
feeling on paper, that%u2019s probably why
I%u2019m babbling on. It%u2019s on the tip
of my tongue what I want to say, but I get
a gut wrenching churn that makes me feel
that I should suffer that little bit
longer.
I%u2019m too F**king emotionally intact
with everything is my problem. I always
put others first before me, which is a
good thing I know. But I sometimes take it
too far. I bought myself a jacket for
£195, proper nice like!! But then ended up
taking it back because I thought to
myself%u2026I used to buy this and not
give a caca%u2026.but now I feel selfish
if I did that. Instead with the money I
went and got a cheap weekend away for my
nanna because she was worrying about
things at home too much. I%u2019m no
saint so don%u2019t think I am. I just
care a lot for others to be happy! Anybody
else would do the same, but people have
never done it for me. Suicide seems a
option now, and not something to stay
clear off. I lied as a kid to impress my
parents%u2026.but it never worked.
I%u2019m so embarrassed by it man. But I
just got the name as a liar. I%u2019m not
a liar. I just want someone, just one
person to be proud of me. Id give up
anything so I can feel wanted or someone
to be interested in what I do and not what
I look like. I miss people who I think
could make a difference. But all I
want%u2026%u2026is to be %u201Cme%u201D
again! And I can%u2019t do it by myself.
I%u2019m so far over the edge now, 20year
of heartbreak has taking its toll and im
so scared of being alone through it all.
sick of crying on a night and breaking
whats left of me. Please help me. I
don%u2019t want this anymore%u2026I never
have!

Aww, listen you are who you are and that's
no bad thing. You don't need to compare
yourself to your brother, because you're
different people and your parents love you
for who you are. I know what you mean
about keeping emotions behind closed
doors, I'm exactly the same, and I hate
people seeing how I really feel, but when
I'm alone it all comes out. Whether you do
it in private or with a friend or
whatever, you need to let your emotions
come out. Even if you end up bawling like
a baby, you'll feel better afterwards.
I'm sure your family's proud of you. You
seem like a generous caring person so they
will be. Having said that, you don't
always have to put others first. I do that
myself too, and it takes its toll. Doing
something for yourself every once in a
while is not selfish. As long as you're
not hurting anybody, how can it be? Your
nanna won't dislike you because you didn't
take her away or whatever, as long as
you're there for her and you listen to her
as I'm sure you'd like her to listen to
you. That type of thing is a lot more
valuable than any amount of money you
give.
I dunno if I helped you, but hopefully I
did and please don't try anymore suicide
attempts. Things from here can only get
better if that's what you're considering,
so hold onto that thought. Find stuff to
do to take your mind off things.
Isn't it funny how people are willing to
give advice to others, but when they're in
need they don't listen to themselves??
Just saying this cause you replied to my
post on here and now I'm helping you lol.
I'd comment on the Newcastle thing, but I
used to work at St James' not that I care
about football anyway lol

heh...you should read my rant & a 1/2
earlier
on...http://ehealthforum.com/health/topic1
27852.html...just blew my top for some
reason. I guess the topic touched a
sensative point...plus, was in a manic
state yesterday afternoon so it was no
surprise that I would take a dive at some
point...
I know exactly what you guys mean about
putting others first the whole time...(re
the rant). I feel so blasted guilty when
I do something for my self that I can't
enjoy it.
And the whole "Practice what you preach"
deal also usually get's me, so don't feel
alone Lion79
Sometimes it's odd for me to continue a
conversation on the forum, cus I would be
in a depressed state, reading something I
wrote when I was in a manic state and go
"WHAT!...I wrote that?" and at that point
my opinion would be the total opposite
I do tend to feel all nice and guey inside
when I can help someone else but...and
it's a BIG but...(no, I'm not calling
anyone fat...that's spelled
"BUTT")...there is a huge difference
between always putting everyone before
your self and being helpfull/polite.
Doing it too much, would cause you to
allow other people to abuse your good
nature and walk all over you.
