Having a hard time.

I've been having a hard time lately...emotionally. Physically. Honestly, my life seems pretty pointless and worthless at this point. How am I going to last in college?

It's normal to think that. In fact, it's a part of growing up. You just have to hold the hope that everything will be all right sooner or later-well, try to hold it at least, because I admit that I just want to curl up and die sometimes. And when you want to cry, just let it all go. Just cry and cry when you're feeling sad, because it's designed to cheer you up. There's nothing shameful in crying.

Whatever it is that's troubling you now, forget about it. I know that I sound pretty unsympathetic right now, but it works, it really does. Don't let your troubles distract you from what you want to achieve. And remember-if one way to get what you want fails, there is always a million other ways.

I hope I helped or that you're happier now. Feel good about yourself, because you are you and no one else can be that. Don't try to be anyone else, because you can't be anyone except yourself, and that's always enough.

Don't worry, people always go through hard times. Just concentrate on looking forward to the little good things in life. 😃 Smile, be nice, and you'll get good back.

I agree with feathershaft on the crying, if you can't cry easily, get a sad movie or book or song or manga or whatever and cry to your content. I'd like to add that having a sizable stuffed animal to hang on to helps a lot too (not lying, I used to use a teddybear, but when my mom decided to give it away I was too embarrased to say anything, so now I use my plush turtle pillow instead o~o).

Also if forgetting about what's bothering you is hard, at least try to focus on the good things, it does help 😊 I use eggcave a lot to distract me, games and manga work well too (I can recommend oneshot manga, they're short so you can read multiple until you find one that cheers you up 😊 just read 4 myself in like 30 mins XD). Make sure you do something you like every day, just free up 30 mins to an hour at least and relax, it helps, believe me. Since I travel to University every day I've always been forced to take about an hour to myself, and believe me it's a good thing to do so, especially when you're busy 😊

belive in yourself: I mean, when you go to college you'll most likely meet new people, and new people = new life 😋 Think optimistic 😋

I know...I'm looking forward to college. People are already talking about prom and I know I won't get asked...it just seems like people aren't interested in me because of how I look and weigh and because I'm not energetic or amazing...I'm not sure I'll have a chance to get the things I want in life. It seems worthless for me to be alive.
