Who can I talk to about myself and my life?

Question

I know it sounds like a stupid question, but let me explain... Okay so, I'm a 16-year old girl. Although I have a lot of friends and a good family, I feel frustrated and, I guess, isolated a lot of the time because I don't feel like I can talk about myself and my problems to anyone else. My parents are both depressed, which sometimes makes things difficult -- I don't want to make them feel any worse by loading my stress onto them, especially since a lot of that comes from them. Also, I only have one friend who I'm very close to, and a lot of the time she's depressed as well and I don't feel like she respects my grief since she is busy being upset about her issues. Sorry if that sounds harsh... I try to be very understanding and kind, but I feel like I'm playing therapist with everyone around me all the time.

So here's my biggest issue -- I'd rather not see a professional psychologist about this, because that would mean having to tell my parents about how I'm feeling, and I don't want to make them feel any worse. So is there a website where I can talk, or a phone number I can call? What should I do? Am I just being selfish? :/

Thanks in advance for your help. :]

Answer 2

Go to your school or "guidance" counselor. That is what they are there for, not just schedule or college stuff. They are trained counselors who spend a lot more time learning counseling skills and  no time learning about scheduling conflicts!

Answer 3

to a therapist

Answer 4

God already knows all that is happening to you! And God only does thing that will end up leading to something good in the end (unless your not saved...then maybe bad stuff) but anyway...

If you believe Jesus died on the cross for you sins (He did) and accept Him as your savior (he will if you believe) You will be saved! and you'll go to heaven when youre done here!

I'll keep you in my prayers.

Answer 6

I feel the same way you are, maybe you can talk to me!

We can tell each other our problems and then maybe it will make us feel better about ourselves.

Sometimes talking to somebody you dont know helps, because you know nobody will tell your friends or your mom n dad n stuff.

Im 21 btw.

You may want to search for a pen friend ( snail mail or email ) who you can write real mail to and get reply from.  Wthout face to face...To share a lot of life stories, happeness and sadness and exchange ideas and little things....it is really warm hearted and develop real friendship by times......

I hope you can try it...

I only have "a few friends" that I see them face to face.  But when I talk something serious like losing a job or family izzue....I don't feel like they listen to me or feel for me.....suck..

and I have a pen friend we both write to each other for 6 years....she honestly shares a lot with me in these years....we are always be there to share our own stories and to support each other although we have never meet .......I feel a lot better afterall....

Well google hotlines for your specific problems or even if your friend is depressed  both you and her meet up and share your feelings! Sometimes it feels nice to get things off your chest.
