Lonely and Slightly deppresed with CRAZY life can u help??

Question

My dad just won an election for County Commisioner this November. He was never around durring the week (at a confrence or in Columbus at a meeting) and on weekends he was at Dinners and partys for adults only. I was so happy he won. I thought we could be a family once again. Guess I thought wrong. Last week mom cracked out a bottle of champain to celebrate us being together for dinner for the first time in 5 months. When I was little I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux (becuase of so much stress. Lets just say my elementry days werent so good) and later on a learning disability. I had to go to consuling(hated it and quit going). My mom thinks I am over it. She tells me how proud she is that I dont have "moments" any more. But secretly I cry. Away from mom and dad. Some of it is dads fault. Some of it is school. Help me someone.

Answer 1

Can you talk and be honest with your Dad and Mom? Maybe you have tried and failed.... you say "secretly you cry". so your mom and dad don't know what is really happening? please try to talk to them again....

Dads can get so busy, thinking they are doing what they doing for their family... all the while losing touch with their family!!

I know it sounds pretty weird, but God can help. God will give you strength and help, God will comfort you in your troubles and help you to be strong. God will show you what to do.

God is the best counsellor, the best friend, the best therapist, and the best family-putter-together there is!!

Just talk to God. He is there with you now and He wants you to pour out your heart to Him. Tell Him your sorrows, your pains, your failures, your disappointments.. Be honest with Him and He will help...

God bless,

Please email me if you like....

You are right when you say you are "depressed", it sounds like it. Is there someone close to you that you could confide in besides your parents? How often do you have an opportunity to do the things that you enjoy in your life? The reason I ask this is because having an outlet to the norm of the way a person is living their life can be helpful. I think from what you wrote, you may be taking the changes happening in your life really hard. If a person doesn't really have an outlet when heavy duty things happen to them this can either cause depression or make things worse. If going to see a therapist is out of the question, speak to someone close about how you are feeling or if there is no one that you can confide in just yet, buy a journal and write in it how you are feeling each day and this will help you to sort through how you are feeling as well as being something therapeutic. I do hope things get better for you.

Good luck, I do hope this advice helps you.

Don't think you're alone- Read Elizabeth Wurtzel's 'Prozac Nation'. As a teenager that book really woke me up. Every page I felt like, "this is me!" And it really helps you by realizing that you're not alone, that other people have the same problems, and that there is help out there somewhere.
What kind of LD do you have? Try reading 'Learning Outside The Lines'/ It is a great book that will help you with your schoolwork.
I feel for you- try another therapist. Does your school offer counseling? Legally, if you have a diagnosed learning disability, there are accomadations etc. that your school can offer.
Try another therapist- you might have to try out a few before you find one that fits. Your parents might not understand, but you're not alone. School sucks, life is hard.

Answer 4

Listen let your parents do what they want in life it does not mean they do not love you acid reflux is stress but there is medicine for it......and you need to control your stress have some fun go out with your friends shop go to dinner a movie,,enjoy YOUR LIFE...your learning disability comes from stressing yourself out stop blaming everone for your crazy life..your dad puts food on the table and takes care of the family..your crying moments are your fault not the school they wanted to help you never showed up You Need to grow up and support your dad as COMMISIONER AND YOUR MOM FOR BEING THERE FOR ALL OF YOU...LOVE YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE ENJOY YOUR MOM AND DAD AND TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM......luv kara

Answer 6

They have help for your depression medications like zoloft and paxil. Some have sexual side affects if that matters to you depending your age. It always helps to talk to someone and don't be afraid to cry a person that doesn't cry is a person with no heart. You need to mention this to your doctor. Everybody go thru ups and downs but if it's that bad you need to address the problem now because depression is the number one cause of suicide not saying your gonna kill yourself just have it checked out

Answer 7

frankly, your life sounds pretty good!

i don't want to trivialize your concerns, but frankly, everyone has issues, and yours just don't sound so bad.

it's okay to cry. i do it too.
just be thankful for what you've got and try to look on the bright side.

remember, it could be a whole lot worse.

you might look into group counseling. its a good way to get stuff off your chest and it can be very therepeutic and you realize that others have the same problems or similar ones as you

Answer 8

I suggest talking to your dad for a start. Try saying, "Hey Dad I was wondering if we could spend more time together. It was so nice with the whole family together at dinner." Even if it turns into a fight, he will realize that you want to spend mire time with the whole family and he will try harder to make it that way. I would strongly suggest making him watch the movie 'Click'.

Answer 9

I am so sorry you are going through this. I am not going through what you are going through but I can in a feel what you are feeling. Do not worry. I once heard someone say, "Life is what you make it." You make your life, so do not feel bad if things do not go as you expect it because soon it will. Continue walking forwards with your head up. Do not give up.

Answer 10

Hello honey: I know what it is like to feel so lonely. I am sorry that you are feeling so sad. I think that you are a courageous person for writing this question out here to us. I would like to make a suggestion. First, if you are afraid to talk to your mother because she may make you go back to therapy then maybe you could go to a friend. Someone your age that you trust. Sometimes it helps to talk to a friend that isn't going through it and they can give you help because they are not going through it. I would also like to offer to you if you would like to have someone to talk to there are phone numbers you can call. One number you may want to call is Covenant. The number is 1800-999-9999
If you would like someone to talk to please email me. I know that you do not know me but honey I am here to listen. Please don't feel like no one cares. There are a lot of people out here that care and have gone through things that have made our hearts hurt and feel sad.
Thank you for reaching out to us. Please remember you are not going through this alone.
