Solitude is my comfort zone

I'm in need of a friend.  I am thrirteen years old and I am a girl.  I have some issues but I really need someone to talk to.  I don't have any friends because i'm not comfortable talking with people face-to-face because of my self esteem issues.  I suffer from severe depression and i'm proud to say that this school year I only tried to kill myself six times.  I have had depression since I was ten.  I also have a mild anxiety disorder that i'm working on with a councelor.  So far so good.  Aside from all my mental problems, I have some issues with my family too.  When I was born my mom was nineteen and my dad was sixteen.  Now that they are in their early thirties and late twenties, they aren't the same as they used to be.  My mom is alway angry with me and using harsh tones.  I really miss the way she used to smile at me every morning, open my blind and say "Good morning sunshine!".  Now she just says "great, your up"  sarcastically.  I've actually grown to hate my father.  He is ALWAYS angry with me for something and he is always teasing my which doesn't help my self-esteem.  Thanks to him always giving me charlie horses, wet-willies, nugies, and pressure points, i'm always flinchy when someone comes near me.  Some times I get so fed up with my parents and my life that I just want to sit down and cry, which usually leads to thoughts of suicide.  Can somebody help me cope?

Solitude is a virtue and nursing procedure too. It prevents the well (true) from the sick (false). Appreciate it. eheh. Virtue is the truest help from G-d. Logic and truthfulness are one of the greatest helps.

The greatest truth is about friendship and aloneness. Life, good, and morality. We want good; not bad. Friendless/aloneness is better than falseness/soulless/ego-likeness. It's not easy to find real good and honest people. That's the point. Many wanna enjoy/live in sin/denial. They don't want a real good life or friend.

Materialists deceive us most. If you can't beat em shun em. Materialism opposes virtues and spiritual truth the most. Materialists should be shunned (criticized) the most. For the true betterment of individuality and society.

People compel us to work (for money) the most. Material interests are far worse than love for money. No one admits that or that the bible also opposes truth about the root of all evil. That's big (serious truth). Most minds are shallow. Few minds are profound. Ego is the root of materialism and all evil/deceit. We want ease/comfort. We need food/shelter but we need moral life/spiritual truth the most. Few can be real honest cause few are profound. Materialism is the world's biggest problem. Ironic, but true. Medication is an illusion. Repentance from sins against G-d (The Creator and Truest Friend) is needed most. peace.

i am also 13 and suffering from severe depression, lonliness, BDB, and possibly OCD. For me it started this year, coming out as I obsessed over my head size and hair, as well as breaking down constantly and attempting suicide many times. in my situation, family is very supportive but has a few problems. i am in desperate need of some friends as well and would love to hear from you at ***@**** or 347 262 7688.

My heart achs for you. My life at your age was quite difficult as well (no need for details) and I have felt much like you. Please trust me that you WILL get through this and just the fact alone that you are reaching for help shows you are stronget than you think. You are still very young and have no idea what is in store for you down the road. Your parents seem like that regret their choises as kids and are taking it out on you, not because thay hate YOU but because they hate themselves. What you need to do is to look within yourself EVERY DAY to find something to smile about- whether it is that you are intelligent, that you are physically healthy, or that one day you will be grown-up and will be able to be whatever you want. The world is yours so don't be so quick to leave it. Learn to meditate, pray and/or it that isn't your thing, try to surround yourself with positivity and things that make you happy. You can do this!!
