My life is so overwhelming..?

Question

It's seriously one thing after another. Some thing is always going wrong. I seriously feel like I'm on a tv soap.

No one believes me. I've been raped and I tried to tell my best friend and she told me I was lying and just attention seeking (which I wasn't)

I can't handle it anymore.

Answer 1

I was raped when I was a kid. From one day to the other I became shy, isolated, clumsy, overwhelmed by a guilt feeling I couldn't get rid off. And since the rapist had told me with a threatening voice: "If you tell this to anybody, I'll find you and kill you", I didn't dare to talk of it, even to my parents, brothers, friends or teachers. So my life was miserable till I got into therapy.
Now I find I was really lucky. This therapy made me discover a lot of things and led me to happiness. It really liberated me. It taught me how to deal with my feelings, how to react in various circumstances, When I see regular guys around me, how poorly they deal with their relationships, their loves or hates, or with their jobs, I'm really happy to have been forced by that horrible experience to seek help and find it. And to realize that much in life depends on the way we look at things. Many people who could be happy are not because there are "bugs" in their mind computers that could be removed with professional help. The problem is to find the good, really competent and reliable therapist.
Before you find the therapist you need, you can reinforce your Self by repeating twenty times every morning and every night: "I am me. I am who I am. I got the right to be me. Nobody has the right to judge me. And there are in me, deep down, forces and ressources that I'm not aware of, but which can help me."
There is in all of us a baby who wants to feel loved and reassured. If you repeat day after day a short text like that aloud, the hearing center in your brain hears it and feels that somebody cares, it doesn't really realize that the one who cares is you. Anyway, this works. What is important, is not that you _believe_ what you say (a part of you might respond by thinking: "it's not true"), but that you think the thought and hear it. Thought acts on body and psyche. Consumers' habits in the whole world have been changed by the repeated sentence "Drink Coca-Cola". People who used to drink tea, coffie, wine, juices etc. have given them up all over the world in favor of the new drink. Advertise your good self to your self, and you'll stop be overwhelmed by life.

Answer 2

It will get better. My best friend had a horrible upbringing, her dad wanted nothing to do with her, then her step-dad died, her mom almost went to jail, got pregnant at 14-years-old, etc etc. She is now a successful firefighter, mother and wife and happier than she's ever been. You have the power to stay strong and overcome challenges in your life.

As for being raped, if you actually were, you need to tell the police. Don't be ashamed as it's not your fault.

Lastly, your best friend seems like a big jerk. I would ditch her in a heartbeat. Friends are supposed to be there for you through thick & thin.

Answer 3

You CAN handle it. Life does improve over time. Why, I remember when I was in my late teens & early twenties: I thought life was terrible--I remember thinking I couldn't take anymore, but I kept on going.

It took twenty years of psychotherapy and medication, but I'm loving it now.

Keep in mind what John Lennon said about life, "Life is what happens to us while we're busy making plans." No one's life works out the way you see it on TV. It's a struggle, but it's also very, very rewarding. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!

Answer 4

I sometimes feel like my life needs to be on t.v. too. So much drama that goes on with me...
It just wont ever stop or some reason. I can never get a break!
I think you should speak with a counselor.

Answer 5

sometimes things are not ment to be told to others.

such confidential things shouldn't be published to everyone and since you're saying it here so easliy people are gon' think it's a joke.

and you're friend is actually NOT a friend, she won't even believe you.

Endure your pain, learn to be your own friend, why don't you tell it someone in your family member or something, doesn't exactly have to be parents but someone older then you , like aunts, cousins , sisters, e.t.c you'll feel much better.

take care.
