When your feeling sad, the best thing you can do is just get out and away from the city and go somewhere nice and peaceful. If you have a beautiful place where you can visit and admire the animals, trees, fish, the sky and all the beautiful things this earth has to offer, it will help.
I get stressed all the time, so I just drive my car and look for a place where I can just feel at peace. It reminds me of why it is so wonderful to be alive. Sometimes it is good to donate some of your time to different charities and help others who are in much more need than we are.
You may want to consider seeing a therapist and talk about your problems too, your feel a lot better getting all this stuff out of you.
hey, yeah i think that kinda of stuff is instering.i think i would be a good councelor because i have went through alot of stuff, and i love to help people..maybe i could ask them if i could work there par-time..no i have no clue what courses i need to be doing or classes well talk later...brittany
Sounds exciting and very noble. I'm thinking of looking at doing psychology too (or maybe something in the health field -nursing, paramedic, not sure). I need to spend some more time on myself first. I'm probably not well enough to be studying at this time.
The crisis counselling sounds interesting. I always find that quite a compelling field. I expect you have a lot of personal experience to draw on as well. That will be extremely useful later. You can draw on your negative experiences and use them as strengths.
Have you figured out all the subjects and courses you need to be doing/ looking at doing? Given your placement situation you probably couldn't spend time at a crisis hot-line place, etc could you?
Keep focusing on your dreams and maybe even reevaluate them occasionally.
If you are having a difficult time you could perhaps look at how it may serve you for the future. These experiences will be teaching you valuable life lessons and skills.
We can make lemonade out of lemons if we try and persevere.
Good luck with your life goals.
um it's kinda too late to join anything um i want to go to lamar college and be a psychology teacher and then after that i want to be a crisis coouncelor....brittany
Talking is often the best remedy. T's are usually the best but sometimes not always.
Can you join some school sport or cultural group? Something that interests you. Sport? Music? Drama? Being around others could help you out of the funk you are in and help you feel connected to other people.
It sounds like you have heaps of potential. Have you thought about what you want to do when you leave school?
well, i will keep talking about to my therapist and i will talk to the doctor online and i can't really do anything at the placement i'm at.we have to have a staff with us at all times....brittany
Keep talking about it with your therapist. As long as it is bothering you it needs to be discussed.
Just a thought, but have you got time to volunteer for some organization, etc. Sometimes getting out and doing stuff helps us to feel better and helps to put things in perspective.
I find the doctor on the mental health expert forum really good. If you have a specific question you would like answered he would be the best person to ask. In my opinion anyway.
thank you um yes i have dissucsed it with my therapist and it seems even though i talk about how i feel i still feel the same.lol a pet is a good idea...brittany
It's OK to feel sick and tired of everything. Gee, I do. I think the important thing to remember is that these are just feelings and will pass.
I'm sorry about your family situation. That must be extremely painful.
I can easily say that you matter. Everyone affects someone else in some small way. You are important and your life does matter.
It almost sounds as though you need a pet. They love unconditionally.
Have you tried discussing how you feel with your therapist?
Take care!
i know it is real, i don't think i have ever felt a time of peace at all. i know it dosen't give me permission i just in some much pain, imean i have no family, no one to trust, no one to love me, no one to say you matter, and i have no one to love either. i do go to a psychiatrist and i have therapy once a week.thank you for answering....brittany
well, thanks for answering my post. um i don't live with my family,.....i'm in cps and have been since i was 11. my mom is a drug user and has never been here for me,and in and out of hospitals.my moms side of the family hates me...my dad comes and sees me but he didn't want me because i was to much like my mom and i was his first child but now he has 3 more kids from my step mom.so i have really never had anyone that loved me for me or accepted me or i even ever trusted. i think thats why i hurt so bad, i think plus i've been through so much....brittany
I think it feels real.
I have at times felt a sense of peace, etc but I don't think that in anyway gives you permission to end your life.
I will write again when I can and have time.
Take care.
p.s. If you feel this way you should speak to a doctor and access psychotherapy.
I do know how you feel believe me but also believe me when i say its not time to go, its not real, life is for living. Do you know why you feel the way you do as something happened to make you feel like this? I get really depressed and i hate my life at times and i have attempted suicide twice and now i battle all the time with suicidal thoughts but i keep going in the hope that it will get better. You have your whole life ahead of you, you are so young, try and find something that makes you happy, talk to someone you trust tell them how you feel, have you told your family how you feel or your doctor?
Good luck and you can always come to this site to talk to someone.
