When will it get better? Replies would be highly appreciated
Dear people of 7 cups. When will life get better? This year I’ve lost all my friends due to a friend group drama. Now I’m in high school all alone and lonely battling major anxiety and depression from past trauma related to abuse. I find myself becoming more and more suicidal by the day.
i feel trapped in this high school in a place I so clearly don’t belong. It’s a suffocating feeling and I feel trapped. I’m alone I barley have two friends I’m on my own with no hope of fitting in anywhere. Just please please let this end I need to get out of this phase in my life.
im scared of going to school sometimes due to my anxiety. I panic every time I’m in a crowd. I see all the others happily wandering with friends and posting their fun videos online.
i need to get out of that school. I truly feel like it’s slowly killing me and my anxiety keeps telling me that it would all collapse in my back that something horrible will happen to me and everyone would hate me. I seem to overthink like crazy when even one person isn’t interested In me. What if they spread rumors about me? What if they do something to me? What if they ruin my whole reputation and not only would I be more alone but bullied.
im scared I’m so scared I’m scared of everything I’m scared of even typing this out in fear of jinxing it or for it to turn real. I’m so scared. I have daily breakdowns everyday with no end. I sleep all day after school to avoid the reality of my school experiences.
please help. Please I need to get out of this phase in my life I need things to get better please. When will it get better? Someone assure me that life does get better please.
Taintedrose112,
I don't know if this will help at all but, I truly get where you are coming from. I lost almost all of my friends due to drama right before high school. And that drove me into a very dark place. Having to choose between my friends was a difficult thing. I get that sometimes when you fall down a hole you think you can't get back out of, and the only way is to just simply end it. But it will get better, I promise it will get better. Even I you think it won't, IT WILL! I'm sure that there are people that care for you. HECK all I did was see your post and got me over here crying a little. I don't even know you but I already care for you so much 💓
And I know that I'm just a homeschooled high school kid( also new here too!) And know nothing about helping people like this before. But if you want to ever talk more or idk whatever I'll be down for it😊
Thank you so much like actually <3
Life can indeed get so much better. I am so sorry things feel so horrible and panicked right now.
It might help to start thinking about it all as a path that you are starting down. It begins by reaching out. You have done so here, but now you need to do so in real life.
Who would be the person who you would most trust with your story right now? A parent? A teacher? A doctor?@Taintedrose112
My dear @Taintedrose112 life does get better. I was definitely relating as I was a major loner in high school. Once you leave there real life starts and there is a whole world beyond it. For right now it seems you are suffering from extreme paranoia and you should seek out counseling and therapy immediately. Also have you talked with your parents about maybe changing schools or doing independent study? Possibly even taking your GED and getting your diploma early is an option too?
either way you need to talk with a counselor or therapist to work through your paranoia and anxiety over this it is not good for your health to have this much stress. Please be well life does get better 🫶 be strong and be well if you ever need to chat I’m here for you 💙
