Can Someone Tell Me What to DO? -

I need help. I'll freely admit that.
I don't know how to keep my facade anymore. My mask keeps breaking. My friends keep coming to me asking me for advice because I'm supposed to be the one with all the answers. Thing is I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I'm a bad friend because I don't know what to say to them and how to help them... I'm about to lose one of my best friends because she's moving and I have no clue if we'll stay in contact. On top of that, my parents are starting to get suspicious of whether I've been SH again but they don't say anything because they don't see any cuts. I have been, so I guess they're right to be suspicious but I don't want to go back into therapy and all. I don't have time for it... I just don't know what to do. I don't know how to handle all the stress, the bullying, my parents, school, and this huge expectation to be the One who can do it all. I'm just one person. Can Anyone HELP me.... Please... I have no idea how to handle this anymore. |

I honestly know how you feel. When I was in school.. that's the way everything was for me. I just told my friends, "Yes, I would love to help. But, I'm just really stressed out right now. Can we talk later? Or, talk to _______?" Most of the time, that worked. I really wish I could help. But, the thing that's important is to make yourself happy, you are your top priority. Not anyone else. Take time out of the day to do something for yourself, anything at all. Anything that will take some of the stress away. Worked for me.. And, if you ever need a friend to rant to or just to talk, I'm always here.

1) Leave the bullies to me and my various weapon-like instruments.
2) Do what you can to cut down (no pun intended) on the SH. 3) Try to explain how you feel to your friends (lame suggestion I know) 4) I think you can stay in contact with your bestie. My "bff" went away to school in a different state and we still talk every week, usually for an hour or so (and he's a guy). It's definitely a different relationship, but it helped me become a stronger, more independent person. |

gahhh. thank you lovelies. i just don't know how i got to be the one everyone comes to. i try to stay in the background most of the time, yet this year is drama filled and half of it is with people i don't even know. people come to me asking for my advice and i dont know them. like i wish i could help everyone, i like helping people. but it doesn't help me to be the one who has to be perfect and have the answers. i cant do that.

I agree with everybody. Stay in contact with this friend and just let your friends know that you'll always be there to listen but you may not have all the answers. They'll understand, if they don't then their not real friends. Plus, try to stay strong with the SH. do your best to focus on something else. Good Luck!
