How do I overcome the feeling of being emotionally neglected/verbally abused?!


Question: How do I overcome the feeling of being emotionally neglected/verbally abused?
All my life I have been verbally bashed on by my fellow peers telling me I'm stupid, I'm not worth it, I'm not good enough, i don't deserve to live. Also growing up, my mom never made me feel loved or that she cared about me so all my life I have been feeling worthless. It's to the point where I dropped out of high school, no job, no friends, I'm afraid of meeting people, afraid of leaving the house, afraid of not being accepted. Everyday I ask why I'm still alive I'm not doing a very good job at being normal like everyone else that I grew up around. Many days feel so repetitive I try to commit suicide just to feel alive. I know I need help, but I'm afraid to tell my mom how i really feel, I've been hiding my depression for 9 years, when she's around I pretend I'm the happiest kid alive and nothing can put me down. When in reality even when I fake a smile at her, it hurts inside. If I tell her will she notice part of this is her fault and become angry? Will she help? How will she take it if I tell her..? How do I fill up this huge emptiness, and to feel whole enough that I can live like an average person who interacts with others beyond just the computer?

Eh, best thing to do to get over these kinds of things is to get a hobby that keeps your mind active and makes you happy.

Bug collecting, playing video games retro and new generation, Learning about new cultures.

For me to get over m own depression, i took up Muay Thai kickboxing and i've been fairly happy ever since.
Find something that will make you happy and go with it. Meet new people, make friends, interact with your mum about it.


Dont be the target, dont be the tool, be the person with the tools to shoot the target.



you have to take responsibility for how you are, you will get no where if you tell your mum it is her fault. YOU choose how to react to what people say... they don't MAKE you feel inferior YOU make yourself feel that way

if you have been depressed for 9 years it seems to have become a habit for you. maybe you need a life change to shake you out of your ennui and wallowing



Great Question I don't know the answer for you, but I think you should ask someone more qualified.

Here are some links

Abuse & Violence Hotline
www.avhotline.org/

If you're seriously considering suicide, please call these people to talk with you before you make that choice. No one wants that for you.

s.hit im the same as you. life does not have to be the way everyone says it has to be. live like you dont know what the hell you are doing and be ******** spontaneous. if someone asks you to do something DO IT because you never know it could be the funnest day you have had in a long time.

I have no friends, but if some stranger around my age asked me to go out with them, hell I would! I am sick of being depressed, I dunno about you but I need to do something about it. I'm studying for my L and I'm studying for this GED test I'm going to take in April.
So talk to me. Tell me what you want to do, how you want to solve your problems. What you want to see get done. I'm here to help, I don't have support , only myself. I got the will power and you do too. And I'm here to support you. E-mail me or add me on msn. vampire_heart72@hotmail.com



I've gone through exactly what your through :/ She probably won't get angry at you, though she might feel like a bad mother for not noticing how depressed you are. & yes, she will help. Just sit her down & tell her you need to have a serious talk. Explain how you feel, how you've felt, why you believe you feel this way, & that you're not blaming her, your asking for help. & well, I'm not too sure on the answer to your last question. There's a lot you can do/try, but just don't do anything bad (drugs, alcohol, etc).

Will you please email me & lemme know how things go for you? I hate seeing people sad :/ ZombiesEatLeah@yahoo.com

I've been there :/
