And I cut myself and I try to sleep as much of my life away as possible and I can't talk to anybody about any of it. Now, for those of you who are going to insult me, I ask you to please get creative in your insults. Calling me weak and selfish isn't fun to read.
I was like that when I was 13 and 14. I hate to say this because I think that I'll come off as trying to sound better than you or too old, as I'm only 15 myself, but I think you'll grow out of it. Just try and find the things that you LIKE in life that aren't destructive. If you surround yourself with the things that you LIKE, maybe your morale will improve. That's basically what I did...oh, and I stopped cutting. That improved my outlook on life dramatically.
I try to surround myself with things I like but it always backfires. Especially the people I surround myself with, and how I screw myself over by falling in love with someone who'll never love me back. Things like that. The one thing I love that'll never come back to bite me in the ass is nature, and I enjoy it as much as I can whenever I get the chance.
Hmm...if you like nature, maybe plant a garden to lift your spirits? There's a Gardening forum here, and I'll bet they'll be happy to help get you started.
Hey... if someone insults you for the way you deal with the craziness of life, just know, it's just THEIR way of dealing with the fact that their's is even crappier than your's!! The thing I like about life is that it all starts over...again, and again, and again...THAT, is pretty cool. And, it does get better. It's just hard to cope sometimes. We're all in this together, and yeah, we've all felt like that. As you get older you learn that those feelings do normally pass, so you end up looking forward to the next sunrise, because it's ALWAYS gunna be there!
CrazybutLazy... I used to do the same thing, just to feel something.. I was around your age. (which wasnt to long ago). But I stopped because I didnt see how it helped anyone, it didnt seem to really serve a purpose to me anymore. But I hope you grow out of it... I hope you feel better. I think everyone (or most) go through a time where... it is easier to sleep and to be alone than to wake up and face what evers going on in your life. Life gets rough sometimes, but life can also be a wonderful thing. Your young man, theres soooooo much ahead of you.. some good some bad. I know when I got really down on myself.. I heard this song by classified called all about you, and honest to god that song really picked me up. ( part of the lyrics below) I hope it can reach you like it did me Life’s not what you take, it’s not about the promises you make. It’s not about the friends you might of made or love that is gone. Life is what you give, it’s not about the stupid things you did. Its not about the way things could have been, it’s about moving on. It’s all about you. So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take, Just think it’s all what you make it, and you’ll make it through. <http://www.metrolyrics.com/lyrics/1160263861/Classified/All_about_U> (those are the rest of the lyrics if you'd like to read them) ~Hugs~
you are a sexually impotent meth addict with ugly scars all over the inside of your eyelids, and you smell like old rotten monkey anus that was removed and left in the sun to decompose for six days
As corny and cliche as it might sound, I think life is really what you make of it. If you honestly, willingly want to improve things, you will. That's not to say that you actually 'like' or get off in any way by feeling miserable, but maybe it's just a cycle you have to break. At some point, you just have to say, "Fuck it. I can and will improve all aspects of my life that are within my power" and just do it. If you fall in love with somebody who doesn't love you back... guess what - There's plenty of fish in the sea. There's more than enough to go around. And by the way, if somebody insults you for feeling this way, I give you sincere permission to dislocate their jaw
Thanks for all the replies, guys. I was camping so I didn't get a chance to see them. I've read some really good advice, and those lyrics Brand New Soul posted are definitely cool. And I'minmyunderwear, thanks for the laughs.
Start reading the news everyday, you will soon realize how damn good you actually have it and that maybe you should man up and forget about all the whining. You control your feelings and emotions, not the other way around.
Yeah because nothing lifts someones spirit higher then realizing that people are suffering agony everywhere... CrazybutLazy, i hope you start to feel better, you are at a difficult time in your life, teenagehood is about finding yourself and that can make it hard to surround yourself with the things you want because you are meant to still be working out what it is that you want in your life. Spend some time sitting and thinking about what you truely want out of life, and more specifically what you want to get out of the rest of your childhood, there are some good things out there, just keep an eye open!
When life gives you bullshit - make fertilizer. You mentioned you cut yourself please stop doing that and try not sleeping your life away. Cheers!
Haha, nice. That got a good laugh out of me. Camping this week cheered me up a great deal, so hopefully I can keep myself in this mind frame.
What do you value in life. Is it money, power, fame? Is it important to have a good name? Is it important to treat others well? Once you identify your values, put them into your lifestyle. Every decision has to fit with your values. If your life gets worse, I would take a second look at values.
Hello! You seem to enjoy being in the woods so I thought I would mention one of the fun things I do when camping. I bring a couple of tubes of glow in the dark paint then gather up a few rocks on the camp site – paint them – put them on the table and then look at them at night. When its time to pack up camp I pack my rocks then I have a souvenir to bring home. Cheers!
Yes keep the good state of mind but also remember what made you feel that way so you can do it again, camping is great activity, if it makes you happy remember to do it lots, aside from feeling happy, the fresh air is great for your body.
