I feel so lost
I’m only 17 and I have felt like this for 4 years. Sometimes I am really happy and everything seems fine, but then all of a sudden it hits me at once and I don’t know how longer I can take it. I really don’t wanna do something I regret. I have to find healthy ways to cope. I’m really scared. Recently, this guy started texting me and it seemed like he actually cared, but he hasn’t replied to me in 2 days. I hate it. Why do I become so attached, thinking I have a chance and that they will make me happy and magically solve all my problems.
@resourcefulTown5270 I'm so sorry that you feel lost. It is really hard to feel like that, and frankly I've never learned particularly good ways of coping. Please don't do anything you would regret, death is one of the only choices you can't go back on. I don't know if it helps you to imagine a future, but sometimes I think about all the people I'll meet and all the things I'll do in order to calm down.
It sucks that that guy hasn't replied to you, but maybe theres something really bad going on in his life. It may just be that he lost interest, or doesn't know how to reply.
You get so attached because you truly care, and that is a wonderful thing, but it can be exhausting. You always have a chance and a choice, so don't think that just because that guy might not want to talk anymore that no one does.
I'm afraid I don't know any spells to make people happy, or to solve all of their problems, but I do know that you shouldn't overwhelm yourself. Take it one problem at a time. Do things that you enjoy, spend time with people you love, and take some time for yourself. Things can always get better.
{Sorry I went into a bit of a rant, hopefully it's helpful.}
Thank you so much. I never really thought of it that way but it really helped thinking of all the people I’ll meet and and all the things Ill hopefully do in the future. About the guy ye you are right, you never truly know what goes on someone else’s life. I think I just became a lil bit too obsessive thinking he would help me, but I understand I shouldn’t rely on someone else for my problems. Anyways thank you for your advice.
