I am so lost in my life im still 17 but I feel I am already sick of this life, recently i almost ran from home but then seeing my moms reaction i realised i still loved her and couldnt leave her in that state but every single feeling in my bones is still saying leave and relax from this toxic house hold, but yet it is against my religion and im a believer but i still cannot live like this, lately i have been feeling to just lay down in my bed 24/7 and do nothing, even thought about dropping school, a few months ago i hade a job but was forced to leave it bc of my family and in that job i loved it i was a swimming teacher and the kids there made me not thinka bout these thoughts they were kind of my escape from home and reality , there is so much i have to say and i dont know exactly how to express it because i feel this heavy weight on my shoulders i really feel lost and dont know what to do, tears are always near tho i havnt cried for a long time, and my friends arnt that much of help anyways even tho they know my situationship i feel left out from everything, they arnt checking up on me and soemtimes can go weeks without any talk and then when i go to school they say like ooh where have u been we missed u it wasnt the same without u but i just feel like its a lie cuz if they did atleast they would send me a message asking how i have been, its like im not existing even tho im still there i really need proffesional help but im not sure my parents would allow me to go to a therapist , my days are just sleep until my dad yells at me telling me im wasting my life and then wake up to eat or play until late late night and then repeat the cycle, i used to love school even tho i wasnt good at it but i still loved going to class with friends i miss my old friends until they became toxic i really miss them i jsut wann go to them apologise even tho i did nothing wrong, i think, but i just cant because i know they will laugh and joke around about my problems, i had a girlfriend a few months ago who i told her how i felt and my sh and suicide attempts, resulted in her breaking up with me and losing contact with her also kind of told a few of her friends, why is this world so cruel, cant stop thinkign that this is some test god sent to me but it is still so so so so very hard iu really need someone to talk to about it but i cant reach out to someone here im afraid what they will think or say that im just lame and then something like look at the people in palestine or ukraine or idfk im just so stupid and lost i wanna go remote and leave everything behind me but im afraidn i will lose contact with my mom who i love with my entire heart but its so hard i really need something to help, im sry for repeating always i just dont know how to express what im feeling or where to begin also sry for bad writing i really just ant be bothered to look at it again and correct spellings.

Reply1. My life has A LOT in common with you. Past & present. And, from my experience kids don't understand mental health yet and still developing empathy, especially for complex/serious issues. Which is most likely what happened with both of us. Though, some people are just jerks. Even adults & good friends can be scared or lack info and/or resources to help. Like what I'm dealing with currently.
2. Everyone's safety & mental health is valid. Yes, Ukraine's and Palestinian situations are tragic, but just like you they never asked to go through that. If this is negatively effectiving you, then you still should be helped, because no one should suffer. Please don't downplay your feelings or situation. Please.
3. What country you're in might effect this, but if you are in the USA 🇺🇸, don't let yourself end up in my situation where you are too old to have a way out, and you would need to have something physically done to have ANYTHING happen.
4. There's programs to help others get into work or housing; temp agencies, section 8, job academies, and what remains of apprenticeships. You can tryto look online if there's any local housing or job guidncess centers/organizations, or plans.

Good luck, kiddo!
ReplyI also may wanna recommend Bluet, my dearest friend watches it, and it dies remind me of found childhood memories.
Everyone says it's a wholesome shows with a healthy family. It is well animated with a unique art style, has easter eggs and ither details, tries to tackle problems in a respectful manner, lets the adults still be adults just not toxic, and makes an effort to tell a real story; weather its shiw the pay off to an episode of a character making a new friend, fkashbacks to explain a character, an episode with a media more silly structure, or the relationship growth of a guy and his now girlfriend.
Heads up, if you live in Australia you will see the episodes quirks unedited. But; there's house poop in 1 episode and lots of bathroom talk/scenes with the little kids, different parenting styles, and some jokes might not land with everyone.
But, just watch a few episode, maybe the most popular episodes from season 1. What's the harm? If you like it good. If you don't that's ok. Hopefully I can think of another show to recommend, maybe the animal crossing movie fan dub? Or something more simple that's just a cute show that doesn't require much thinking, like "Rilakuma and me", or "cannimals".
Though if I am recommending Asain series, my favorite anime Chi sweet HOME! Or Chi's new adventures. They are on Netflix, and are short, but I love Chi's sweet home gor the cozy family dynamics, even though it's about a young kitten living with humans! It's popular too, so other people might know about it and you can talk about something with them. Just be careful of toxic animie fans, ok kiddo?
Personally i also like Duggie. The kids just casually have diverse family, and Duggie is the ideal teacher. Plus the jokes I think are different from most kids shows, and typically land for me. And, unique art style.

Sorry for this long reply to my original. I admit 3 out if the 5 shows I recommend might be TOO baby for a 17 year old, child. But, I want you to feel happy and see healthier relationships.
Maybe I can find a non melancholic show that offers mental health and life advice. The closest I can think of a show that tackles life challenges and goals and people of different walks of life in a fun, interesting way, is a REAL adult show.
It's for people AT that stage of life. And, not just a bunch of swearing and drinking. I feel like if you watch it to early it might effect your view on things or at best things might not be unstood yet.
ReplyPS:
Bluey isn't perfect (I certainlydidn'tlike every episode or joke). I wish people will except this online. So see how you feel.
