I don't care about ANYTHING anymore?!


Question: I don't care about ANYTHING anymore?
So, I'm in the 8th grade and I'm almost 14.
Recently, like, a few months ago, I started not caring about anything anymore. I've completely given up on myself, and everything else.

I stopped doing homework, I'm failing all my classes. I never exercise and I don't eat half much as I use to. I barley get any sleep and spend most my listening to music, cutting, and being on the computer. I don't spend much time with my friends, family, and I don't have any hobbies.
I don't care about getting in trouble, I have thought about skipping school. My friend who drinks and smokes weed offered me some, and I want to try it.

I self-diagnosed myself with Social anxiety, Phobias, Panic disorders, OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depression, and I am addicted to cutting (self-harm). I can't go more than a few days without cutting. I think about death and suicide daily. I just don't want to live anymore.

My boyfriend used me as a rebound and broke up with me a few days ago.
My family fights constantly, and my parents are divorced.
I hate myself, and I don't feel like anyone else is too similar to me.
I'm really stressed out most of the time. I actually changed from being a Catholic to an Atheist.
I'm mad at the world, I hate everyone including myself. I'm mean to everyone, and I don't know why. I'm a very negative person and I don't have motivation to change.
So any advice? I talk to my friends about it, but I won't tell my family, they're already stressed enouh. Counseling would just tell my parents. I need to start caring! But I can't!
Please help!!!!!

Answers:

You need to seek counseling. NOW. If you have progressed to cutting, you need to seek professional advice. Your anger etc. could be from some of the life things going on around you, so this could help you understand and learn new coping mechanisms. You are much more important than the crap going on around you. You are not going to find your answers in drugs and alcohol, that will just make it harder to find your real self. Your in there, I know you are, so lets get on the road to finding YOU. Baby steps become giant leaps. You deserve the giant leaps. Suggestion, you may wish to contact someone at school who could put you in touch with the right advisers. Scary? You bet. But worth the time and effort on your part to find the real you.

P.S. "I won't tell my family, they're already stressed out enough". BUNK! Maybe they could all go with you as it appears this is stressful for all of you. Save yourself at the very least. Rise above their garbage and hold your head high. You can do this! Be the better person. :)



Provided you live till you are... I dunno... 73 or something, do you think you will feel like this your whole life? Really?

Get a counsellor... I'm not sure why you would care if they told your parents. I thought you didn't care about anything?

No, but seriously, get a counsellor.



Hi Monika,
Well firstly I think you are blaming yourself for all the things that have gone wrong in your life so far. The truth is everything you have mentioned was out of your control. What is in your control now is YOUR future, your health and happiness! How you arrive at that point from now, is at the moment too much for you to contemplate I realise that.
So what to do? You take one step at a time, which involves gradually changing the way you think and setting short term goals which are easily reached.
You might say, "How do I go about doing that, giving how I feel at the moment"? Well you need help for sure, either a get some counselling, or I will support and guide you, by email, or both. I am trained to deal with exactly this type of thing. Why not make today the first day of your new life? You need to start caring about you and your life, is today the day you make a start? Just get back to me and you will see it is!

I was in the same boat about five days ago. I didn't care and I didn't WANT to care. Then the thought hit me....

We only get one life.....ONE tiny life, and every day you can;t take over. The thought of living how I was living scared me.... living in the dark creepy world for the rest of me life. Instantly I hated myself and decided to stop. I am talking to my parents about redoing my room.......new EVERYTHING for A. To get my mind off of getting back to depression and cutting etc. and B. to get rid of my past. Changing everything feels like erasing my past years.

I really want you to be as happy as I am now, so if you need to talk PLEASE email me at mjsskate@gmail.com

And even though you are atheist now....don't forget...even if you don't believe me, God IS always there....I didn't realize it until it was almost to late. I will pray for you.

Hang in there! :)


It is NEVER to late to start afresh

BTW i am 15 and Christian
