Could someone please help to explain what am I going through?!
Question: I don't have an interest in school. My grades have been dropping by the end of 7th grade. I have also put on some weight. Around 8th grade, I started to feel that everything is hopeless and cried for no reason. I didn't finish a project and the teacher brought me to the principal. At the age of 14, I started to use the scissors to cut myself. Some time later, the razor blade came in. It took a while for people to notice, but I gave excuses and they believed it. In 9th grade, I puked occasionally. I failed most subjects, and life was a mess. I resorted to borrowing my friend's homework which was something I seldom did before. I also started to pick at my skin. Recently, I stopped cutting. I don't know what to do, my mom is constantly reminding me that the exam is near. It is the last year of highschool. She thinks that the computer is the cause of my academic problems.
Answers: Your hormones or thyroid could be out of whack. You should talk to a doctor.
But mostly there are tons of people who have been through what you are experiencing, and tons more who are going through it as well.
It helps to find someone to talk to about it, in person or on the internet (in person is best, and make sure you can trust them).
Also getting a little exercise does plenty of good but it is hard to work up the motivation to start.
Try to get involved in something new to you, maybe a group or club, or take a class for fun (like photography), learn new things and talk to new people. It is hard sometimes, but it is a good way to keep from isolating yourself. And art, music and writing are great modes of expressing what you are going through, it also helps you get it all out and feel better. I kept a journal when I was going through this. It helped immensely.
And about the social issues, just put yourself around others more. And pretend to be confident. Learn to laugh and don't take yourself too seriously. You will get more sure of yourself with time. And when you graduate and move out, you will most likely find that it is your parents influence or whatever that was holding you down. Once you are out of their realm of influence you can really be yourself and learn to relate to other people.
Everyone feels shy, lonely, and sad at times. But it doesn't have to define you or control your life. Just learn to accept it, and if it lasts for a long time, then find ways to reverse it and decide to fight it.
And if that doesn't help, go to a therapist. Avoid getting on medication because it most likely won't be helpful. But some cognitive behavioral therapy really can change your life dramatically.
