Nothing is fine and I'm confused and lost

Is there anyone you can talk to—a parent/both, a friend or their parent/s, even startimg with a counselor at your school can be a start, just to start to get things out in the air. You sound so very depressed and truthfully nothing will help you that’s been said on here (other than what Ethmer said and the hotlime #”s she left). Those hotline #’s could very well be a terrific starting point as well. Going shopping, drinking tea in the morning–although, very nice and well meant suggestions–will not help when someone is clinically depressed, which my dear, you so sound! If you do want someone other than the hotlines to bounce things off of you can funmail me anytime. My fm is open. So you don’t even have to be a friend, although I would be honored if you felt like going over and adding urself. Don’t feel as if your burdening me, or taking up my time, I’m here to give advice. And you can contact me any time!! [¤=

Believe it or not, if you just try to smile (it sounds rediculous) you may feel better. Something different in your life is needed; you’re unhappy probably because you need change, and you don’t realize it. Join a club or something.

You are at an age where hormones, emotions and even your brain are undergoing strong changes. It is natural to occasionally feel confused or depressed.

The best thing you can do is to talk to a counselor or therapist. Barring that, find someone you can communicate your emotions and thoughts with, sort of like a sounding board. Keeping your thoughts to yourself doesn’t help. If you can’t find someone around you then consider Fun Mailing someone on Fun Advice whose advice you like. It’s relatively private and gives you a good sounding board.

Fun Mail a “sounding board”!

I would assume that you can’t talk about what you are going through with anyone because it is too personal and you don’t want others to know about it in relation to you.

The solution, then, might be to pick someone on Fun Advice whose advice you like and Fun Mail them. (You can check out the quality of someone’s advice by clicking on their name; going down to their recent advice, click on view all, then click on the questions that might interest you and view their answers.) Explain to them that you are having problems and want to have someone to use as a “sounding board” and would like to know if they would be willing to be your sounding board. Fun Mail is basically private, so you shouldn’t have any concerns about your privacy.

Although there are many users on Fun Advice who would be qualified, I’d suggest the person be an Advisor, for two reasons: First, most Advisors have several hundred or even thousands of Answers under their belt which can really give you a perspective about them; and second, you can simply click on the Advisors link at the top of the page and view a list of the most recently active Advisors with information about them AND a total of their Answers. (Don’t contact them by that “Ask me a question” link. That’s public. Instead, click on their name which will take you to their Profile page, then click on the “Send me Fun Mail” link on the left side of the page.)

You also have the ability to Fun Mail anyone (Advisor or otherwise) by clicking on the “Send me Fun Mail” link near the top of the Answer under the person’s name.
