Anxious and Depressed...i don't know what to do anymore...

July 2nd, 2016

I've lost 3 people in my life within the time span of a year. Because I didn't tell my parents I was sexually active right after it happened, and they found out recently, my parents don't feel like I respect them. They've told me I don't spend enough time with them, but they never make plans with me. They feel like my boyfriend of basically a year will amount to nothing because he had a bad couple of semesters.his parents are also moving to another state, so he has to find a place to live. I'll be taking 5 classes in college next semester and I'll be getting a job on top of that. I feel alone. I feel like I don't have much of a purpose anymore. I feel like I should just sleep until this situation sorts itself out. I feel like if I disappeared for a while and then came back, everything would be better.

First of all, I am so sorry for your losses. It must have been a terrible blow to lose so many people in such a short time. It sounds like you feel very alone right now and are very stressed out by this situation. If you could change how your parents see your boyfriend, what kind of qualities would you want them to see? What are the traits in your boyfriend that you love? I know it must be awful to deal with so much, I can understand you feelings of just wanting to hide away. Is there anything that you enjoy that helps relax you? Do you have any hobbies or interests that helps you cope with stress?

I would encourage you to read our self-help guide on Loneliness. Perhaps it may give you some helpful suggestions and hints on how to cope with your feelings.

Take care and good luck! heartxx
