I just don't know anymore..

Question

I'm 16, and i just am always sad or bored with nothing to do... I dont really do much, I do have friends but Im usually just at home... I have never done anything like cutting myself or suicide but I have to admit sometimes i think I might as well, seeing as nobody would probably care. I just do not know what to do with myself most times

Answer 1

The perception you have of yourself is the most important one. Sometimes it helps to help others. I recommend you join a community service activity, realize that there is greater pain that what you're feeling and that by caring for others you create bonds and people start caring about you.

Answer 2

that's me, at least in the winter

wow i have alot in common with people asking q's in the mental section at midnight.

i promise you man, no matter how s**+tty life gets at times, there is ALWAYS someone who cares. i know that sounds like generic bull, but i promise you it's true, as i found that out by nearly doing something incredibly stupid, (hurting the people who did truly care pretty badly)

Answer 3

Its depression, I should know. Like you I am constantly depressed, don't really do anything, don't interact with my friends hardly... I do cut and have thought about suicide so far as to actually prepare for my death with full intention of going through with it. And if you are like me, no, nobody cares. What stopped me: My Chemical Romance, they saved my life.

Answer 4

Dude just go hang out with your friends. YOUR 16 ENJOY LIFE!

Answer 5

what you are going through is normal, but start focusing on something more positive, go places with your friends but be careful at the same time. or try answering some of these questions on yahoo answers. but most of all start reading your bible, you will find that it can be so enlightening. god bless you.you have so much life and fun to look forward to, go and enjoy yourself.

Answer 6

i would have emailed u to mabe, idk just chat i guess so u wouldnt feel so bad, but it looks like u dont allow it, i just dont want u to turn to cutting your self or anything worse. so, if u can, email me so we can chat. and believe me, i can chat! lol :) -my email is [e-mail]

Answer 7

I felt the same way when I was 16, and still do sometimes at 18. I don't think being bored is a good reason to cut (actually, I don't think there are any). From what you say, it seems like you cutting would be a cry for attention more than anything else. You can get attention through other means! Try planning a trip with people you know that you can become friends with, like going to the beach for the summer, or going to an amusement park. You don't even have to know them well... Just invite a ton of people!

Don't think too down. It gets better, it really does. Just think, high school is your time to live it up. It's the first time you'll have freedom to do things like go to R-rated movies on your own, or drive, and the last time you'll be free of responsibility.

Answer 8

You need to start thinking about what you DO like. Get interested in things...start engaging in different activities, you may not like all of them, but you have to put effort in to get anything back.

Being sad is normal sometimes, but if you do little to make yourself feel better, u won't feel better.

I am sure your family and friends would care, but you need to care about u.

talk to your parents, pastor or counselor.

Also, think about getting a pet, go to a nursing home and volunteer...

use a phone book & go through the yellow pages to find hobbies.

You have choices, make thepositive ones.
