Hugs

You can send me a pm then, if you want to.

Are you okay? If you need someone to talk to, I'm always free to pm.

Thanks... Pm if you like.......

Darling, I think many people care. You are loved even when you don't feel as though you are.

But I think at this point, you need help from someone who is licensed and can help you work through all that you have going on. A professional can help with coping mechanisms and help you draw up plans and accomodate.

I know that professional help usually comes with a big price tag, but school will be in session again soon and perhaps the school counsellor can help. Don't forget too that while it might be terrifying, try talking to your parents. Be open and honest with them if you have a functioning, healthy relationship with them and tell them that you need support in more ways than friends.

Love you. ❤💚💜💙💛

We have never spoken before, at least not directly, but I enjoy your delightful nature on the forums when I dig through and read what you have to say.

I care about your existence and am glad you are here on RPR.

I hope that the turbulance passes for you and you make it through your struggles unscathed. You are loved by many.

*hugs demi and wonders if prettysir would like a hug too*

*send a hug*

Yay *does a group hug*

Hugs! ❤💚💜💙💛💕🎊

There's lots of free and low cost counselling services along with phone lines and texting services. If you feel like you are not coping, get proper help.

I care 100%. Do you need someone to talk to?

Anymore?

I know how you feel. A lot of us have been there before, feeling like that. However, there is always someone who secretly cares about you, regardless of who you are. I'm pretty certain your parents, friends and pets (if you have any, that is) love you more than anything in this world. Absolutely no one, and I mean NO ONE, has no people that care.
Like Demi said in an earlier post, please open up a conversation with your parents or your school counsellor. You can always trust them with your issues. This is what I have done, and it was worth it in the end. Don't leave these kind of issues unsolved, or else they'll make you feel worse as time passes. And, in the worst case, you might feel like it's impossible to solve it.

We're here for you.

I'm gonna get shouted at, possibly. But-

"This going to sound harsh but fishing for attention won't help you." "Get proper help"

-its mindsets like that it's no wonder people can feel that miserable. And much like myself, with little to nothing to live for, any form of attention is just something people can 'fish' for.

With that out of the way.

I'm sorry you feel that little to no-one cares. Invisible even. I've reached the point where in my life even the death of a relative is no longer a noteworthy sympathetic pat on the shoulder. I'm that little, insignificant nobody just waiting to snuff it now. But regardless of how depressing things are on my end, when it comes to other people like you, Tardis, you can know for sore at least that I sincerely care. Feel sorry for you. And hope people like you can manage to bounce back.

This is exactly why people commit suicide, and then people say "Why dodnt they reach out for help?"

They did. This is a cry for help and you need to respect that. People attempt getting help in different ways, perhaps this person has nowhere to go out of rpr. Shame on you for dismissing this is a plea for attention.

TardisCatTwo, I really hope you're okay. I know we have never talked, but I am going to pm you. I have a bit of counseling under my belt and maybe I can help.

There are so many people who would be willing to help you when you need it. Life gets hard and we all need people to rely on to get through, but I'm sorry that it seems like no one cares to you. If you want some advice or you're feeling down, feel free to pm me or the other kind people in this thread. Don't give up on yourself. You're loved and you're an amazing individual~

I'm sorry you're feeling down, I definitely understand how that feels. It gets really difficult to live sometimes, espeically when you struggle with depression, or anxiety, or tons of other things. I'm glad you have reached out here and hopefully are finding people who you can vent to. However, if you are truly feeling as though no one cares and/or feeling suicidal, I suggest taking a look at rpr's mental health resources to find what will help you the most. As none of us can really provide you with the professional care you may need. I cannot offer anything else, as I am not mentally or emotionally stable enough to offer my ear in PM without sacrificing my own recovery.


You are cared about.

All the love!!!

Tardis, I suspect that you may be dealing with a brain that lies to you. It tells you people are intentionally ignoring you or avoiding you, it tells you that you're not worth it, it tells you people are hiding their real feelings behind nice words... right?

Normally, I recommend more generalized efforts to seek professional help. (Mind you, "professional help" is not a bad thing nor a way to try to get rid of you. It is recommending that you see someone who is trained to help with the sorts of things you are dealing with, because you are deserving of an expert.) Right now though, I'm going to specifically suggest you look into various formats of CBT and ask your doctor about medication for depression.

CBT, if you are not already familiar with it, is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is one of the most common forms of emotional therapy. It focuses on targeting those lies your brain tells you so that you can identify them and correct first the language you use, then the way you actually think. (It is not brain-washing, it is brain-training, and it only works if you want it to and keep at the lessons it teaches.) Some of the formats CBT can be gotten in includes group sessions with others who also have difficulties; one-on-one with a therapist in-person; one-on-one with a therapist or counselor through an online service such as BetterHelp; or even using a specialized chatbot such as Woebot.

Medication can be tricky. Everyone reacts a little differently to each medication. This means that while the first you try might work wonderfully, it also might be the tenth you try that finally works right for you. This can be exhausting to go through, but if you can find a medication that works well for you, all that effort will feel completely worth it. (Note: Vitamins can help, too! Poor nutrition can cause or worsen symptoms of depression, and certain vitamins added even to a decent diet can often help. Blood tests can help determine if there are things you are deficient in, and B6 is a commonly recommended vitamin for depression, as it helps increase the levels of "happy" brain chemicals closer to where they should be. This is pretty important, since all the majority of depression meds do is reduce your sensitivity to the "sad" and "stressed" brain chemicals.)

I've actually used Woebot myself, and I've been through a handful of meds. I didn't notice any difference with Prozac, one of the more common ones, but I was also put on a pretty low dose. Once that seemed to kinda help and was a good one for my mom is Welbutrin, which I've heard tends to work best when paired with certain other anti-depressants. Another that I can never recall the name of, but which I've had doctors recognize by its peculiar side effect, I was taken off of because I gained about 30lbs in, well... I think it was 3 months, but my mom insists it was just 1 month. Apparently, that one tends to make people crave lots of carbs, so I was suddenly eating a lot more than my body was used to. Right now, instead of anti-depressants, I'm actually taking a collection of vitamins and a thyroid hormone booster, and those have been helping because my deficiencies in those things were making everything worse.

I actually encourage you to show my post to your parents, too, so that they have all that info too and can better help you.
