My Life Right Now.......................
Posted: 04-15-05 14:09pm

Hey guys let me just start by explaining I am a 17 yr old girl I suffer from depression anxiety attacks, obsessional compulsive disorder and jealousy attacks, some times I cant even get out the front door, I have councilling and take paroxetine tablets, I really hate my life there were days where id sit in my bedroom and cry for days, although im much better my life is still very difficult to cope with, I have been through the self harm stage, the suicide stage (i took 64 epilepsy tablets).
I had too have weeks of work, I was just wondering if anyone else has been through all this how they cope if they do cope I wouls especially like replies from teenage people like myself with similar experiences.
Thanks

Hi ggshawy, I sincerely hope you're ok. I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. You must feel like you have a really tough life right now. And I agree, I don't have problems as severe as you do but I do feel like sitting in my room and crying all the time. The most important urgent issue is your overdose- is this what you want ofr yourself? You are 17 means you will be in collegse soon maybe, get a job, drive.... What do you wnat 10 years from now. Are you taking the steps to do it? Maybe you could ask yourself these questions.
I wonder why the counseling hasn'e helped- have you told your counselor this? If they are part of the problem, get a new conselor. You deserve the best because you have life ahead of you alife without any worries and a life filled with happiness and dreams and goals. Please believe that for everyone, no matter how messed up they are, there is help out there and there is a better life.
To cope, I know it feels like you can't. To cope when I feel crummy, I often write in a diary. It reallyhelps because you can pour out all thought and feelings. Take care of yourself and i'll be thinking of you ok. E-mail me privately if you want- poetmcc@ya hoo.Com. :d

Hey, thanks for that reply, that was sweet.
Well basicly I did write a diary but I had to burn it as though I was burning part of my life, it was all bad memorys, an d I made it into part of my obsession which is just a vicious circle because no matter what I rty to go forward from something always holds me back, my councellor is brilliant its just the excercises dont particulaly work that well.

Iv had a hard childhood my dad beat and cheated on my mum, her partner now has cheated and had children elsewhere, my little sister died my mum had depression and was suicidle so I was neglected, bullied all my life at school and now to top it off im in a relationship where im jealous and he is violent to me, so were both as bad as each other but its taking its toll on, I feel on the end of my tether and the only bit of comfort is the security of wanting a baby desperatly, me and my partner love each other and were trying hard to make it work are we mad????

I just dont know what to do now, im in a dead end.
