My anxiety and depression are ruining my life. I can't function anymore. I'm tired of being such a failure.

My learner's permit expires May 14 and I doubt I'm going to get my license before then so I might as well dump my money on going through the whole thing again.

I doubt I'll get this job. And it's difficult to find others when I refuse to work retail or food service, am not certified for other jobs I really want, and don't have a driver's license.

It was 9 weeks 4 days since I last SH. 9 weeks 4 days since I last gave in. 9 weeks 4 days of hell that I had to put up with. 9 weeks 4 days that I put up with it. 9 weeks 4 days of work that has gone down the drain. It is 7 hours since I last SH.

I am tired. I am just so tired of it. Waking up every day to argue with my parents, then I go into school and my teachers always seem to have a problem with me and then I go home again and have to deal with my parents. It is just an endless loop and I am fed up with having to deal with it. Nobody seems to get the fact I am trying my best. Nobody will listen to me. I am just tired of it.

First blog using my new theme. Shoutout to the person who organized this for me!

The depression has been back in varying degrees since I graduated in December. I have nothing to do. I got a job at Amazon and it's been about a month since my drug test results showed that I'm not on drugs and I got my official offer to work. However, I still haven't gotten a start date. Fortunately they email me an update every week saying that they don't have a date for me yet either because they...

So I have not been depressed for about 8 months, but in the last 4 or 5 weeks I have been very irritable and frustrated at everything. I have had a constant head for these weeks but I'm not sure if that is the reason.

I am getting so sick and tired of yelling at everybody. It seems like it is taking all of my strength. I am so glad that I have remained cut free through all of this, but in the last four days I have probably bitten myself about 4 or more times a day.

I just...

Fear...

We all feel it at some point,
Even the great leaders do.

Sometimes in one way,
Sometimes in another.

But what has living in fear
Really done for our life?

Well first of all,
We don't want to get rid of all fear.

It can be a good thing
In that, it can caution us,
Such as not to literally jump off the cliff
Knowing that there are jagged sharp rocks
At the very...

I am stuck on making a decision containing to teenhelp. I am not sure if I should quit the articles team, and withdraw from staff altogether. I just feel like I'm not appreciated as staff and also I also feel like I am never going to be able to get more staff positions. I feel like if I can't move up within my staff titles I don't think it's worth being on staff at all.

I am trying not to make rash decisions when it comes to this, but I have thought about this a lot. I know why I got...
