I'm bored of my life. I do self harm, drink alot and sometimes smoke grass. I'm 15 and want to sort my life out. I've seen a councellor but didn't like it. I only trust one person completely but don't want to put them under any more stress or worry ! Help !! I don't know what to do !

I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time. Fifteen is a tough age, you're still trying to figure everything out and your hormones are all over the place. Believe it or not, things will start to even out once your teen years are over. Until then, you need to find a way to cope. You mentioned seeing a councillor. Did you dislike the person or just the therapy? If you can talk to someone whom you trust and like, the therapy can be a real blessing. And each therapist has their own style, so the next one you get may be better suited for you. Also, are you religious? If you have faith in God, look around for a church that has a strong youth group so you can be around other teens that have a positive outlook. Making the right kind of friends is important. God can ease your stress and fill your life with contentment. Also, you are using alcohol and pot as crutches to ease your emotional turmoil but these are quick fixes that don't work. They will just make you more depressed and don't help correct what the real problem is. Escaping from problems doesn't make them go away and once you sober up, you'll find they are still there. If they did work, you wouldn't be posting this question. So try stopping the alcohol and pot. Having a clear head will help you discover what the true causes are that have you so depressed. Are there family members that you can turn to? If so, talk to them. If they are part of the problem, suggest family therapy. I'll be praying that you find peace and happiness.

I don't know where you live but some places have Kids Help Phones or a confidential number you can call to talk over your problems.
From what you are saying, you sound severely depressed and you need to go see your family doctor or go to a mental health clinic at your local hospital. I know you said the counsellor did not help but maybe you did not let him or her help or they were just not the match for you. I urge you to try it again.
What about your parents or siblings? Can they not be of some support. I don't know your family situation so it's hard for me to offer suggestions there. Your best friend should stand by you. Best friends sometimes though get a bit upset when their friends with problems don't do anything about it and , yes that puts added stress on your friend. They get tired of hearing it and hurt to see you in pain. They just want you to do something constructive to get on with your life.
Hang in there - take a first step and go see your family doctor and tell the the situation. They will best know how to help you.
You are reaching out now ...don't stop the positive progress..get the help you need now and accept the help.
Good luck and good health!

See another counselor. You don't always get a good fit right off. Realize that your life can be happy, you won't always be bored, and also that the person you trust to talk to may be completely open to what you have to say. You don't know. You're only 15 and you have a long life ahead of you. Please stop drinking and smoking weed, because they only further cloud your mind. Give yourself a chance. God put you here on Earth for a reason, may He Bless You!

ok now im gonna give you advice and i want you to sink it right in you head.
not to many 15 year olds know what to do with there life, i was 15 once and i was a little hellien.
and councelling do not work unless the person with these issuses is ready to share there feelings and talk to someone that they dont know.
now if you are concerned and thats if you are, about the one person you trust, and you dont want to hurt anymore, then i would recommend you to stear clear for a while.
that is a first step to acknowledging you need help.
yes you are gonna be bored with you life who else isint.
now you are young and you have awhil to go before you know how to sort your life out, but for now leave it in the side lines and just enjoy being a kid.
you dont want to be 30 alone with no proper job, and three kids.
dont get me wrong im not being mean but, you know?
go to school, go to collage, get that dream to start coming alive.
embrace yourself while your still young, and wait till you are 19-20 to get it all in order ok hun
good luck
and take care of yourself

Make a clean break from whatever is bothering you most, but don't run away from home, that's the worst thing to do. Take up a hobby or community service that appeals most to you. Bury yourself in self-improvement, be it intellectual, cultural, or athletic. I do it with music and movies, and writing.
Don't wind up like Janis Joplin tho'. She was just like you, totally f***ed up until she got into blues singing and revolutionized rock music. Unfortunately, she also got into heroin, foolishly thinking that it would free her from her demons. What she should have done was devoted herself to ending the Vietnam war. I bet if she had not o.d.'d on heroin in 1970, she would be active in the current anti-war movement.

You are not alone. There are many people your age feeling exactly as you do. I am 49, when I was 15 I felt exactly as you do. You need a grown up...a teacher or neighbor who won't judge you, and you need to confide in them. Don't worry about being a burden. Young peoples AA will help a lot. Call me 713 888 0337, I'll talk to you. collect.

i know how you feel. i am 17 and i am going through **** too. i want to die a lot. and, i too have one person i trust, but i also don't want to hurt her anymore...and one girl who was my best friend just kept telling me how stupid i was b/c of how i felt. i don't know what to tell you. i might have to be hospitalized for a week or two...what you have to do is ask for help. i'll tell you now, you can't just "get better." you need help. you can be put on meds, see a doctor, or even be hosptalized. and it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. if you really want to sort out your life out, you will do whatever it takes. good luck.

That 'one' person really CARES so much about you. Ask that person's advice of where you will find a similair non-judgemental person.
You've met one person who you feel can help......there are actually THOUSANDS out there....you just haven't met them yet.
Don't give up...keep trying to make the connection. You WILL succeed. :-)
