feeling so alone wondering what the point is anymore

[R.Barratt]

Hello people
I have been working so hard the last week to keep happy and positive. By eating well exercising socialising and generally keeping busy.
But I have no family at the age of 17 which constantly drags me down and makes me feel so depressed. I don't feel loved or cared for at all by them so I am forgetting the reason to carry on.

When I call my nan to see her I have to book a few weeks in advance and then when I do get there she doesn't even speak to me so its a total waste of time. When I see my mum she makes it clear how much she hates me by never asking anything about how I am. And she won't let me see my siblings anymore because she says I'm a nutter.

And my dad just doesn't seem to want to care so he leaves me too it feeling like crap on my own. Someone please message me I need advice please xxxx

Hi Rebecca,

You have done really well all week, well done :yesyes: plus it takes a lot of courage and strength to get through. so sorry your feeling a bit low today. so sorry that your family not supporting you.

you have things to look forward too, though dont feel like it right now. and with moving that is stressful in itself.

dont be so hard on yourself. your not alone in this.

try not to focus on the negative side of things.

try to focus on the good things. look at what you have achieved so far.

Hard to feel positive right now when I feel I have no one who cares about me in anyway. I know no one likes listening to me or takes me seriously

To do what you have done is amazing, full credit to you, and you must be a very strong person, at 17 to carry on like you are doing shows great courage.

Please keep going, because that momentum is so difficult to get back once you stop doing things.

Sorry just so shut off right now

Same here, really down about my life tonight.

[R.Barratt]

Me too. I just don't understand a reason to carry on anymore

Things can change though, I've felt like this before and then felt better again, I bet you have as well, you are doing so well. Don't let your family ruin your chances in life, you can have the life you want.

Loneliness is a terrible thing, I've said before that I hate loneliness even more than anxiety itself.

people do care about you. I care.

hope you will pick up and feel a bit more positive. coming on here takes strength when you are feeling down. :hugs:
