I cry every night

softball · **I cry every night -** December 5th 2011, 11:04 AM

When everyone goes to bed, I lock myself in my room and cry. I don't know why I do, but it just feels like my whole life is empty and I can only focus on the mistakes I've made in life. Like when I stole money from my best friend or when I snuck out of the house and didn't come home for 3 days. I just feel like I've stuffed up my life so badly that I've just ruined everything and it will never be the way I want it to be. This has been going on for about three weeks. Can somebody please give me some advice??

That sounds kind of like me about a year ago.
You need to speak up, if that involves raging or crying your eyes out to someone then do it.
Get it all off your chest.
Or, maybe write down your feelings and what you think the reasons may be for those things you did.

What you're describing is the guilt all humans naturally feel for their sin. Cheap pop-psychology solutions aren't going to make it go away. You need to throw yourself at God's mercy and ask for forgiveness. You will receive it. Only then can you be free.

I know exactly how you feel, only I share a room with my sisters, so I cry myself to sleep silently. It's been going on for years, and the best advice I can give you is that I agree with katpanda--you need to just let it all out, it doesn't matter to who, but you've got to let out all your emotions and try to figure out why you're feeling this way.
Also, I know this is only a temporary solution, but it always helps me to listen to music while I try to fall asleep. It helps me to not focus so much on my problems and then I can calm down and relax enough to go to sleep at night.
I hope this helps

PM me anytime you want to talk!

Just like you I cry just about every night.

Fortunately this led me to pick up instruments and write poetry etc. I advise to find at least one person to tell your story too, whether irl or on TeenHelp!

Best Wishes,
Jon

You're not the only one, I cry every night too.
Sometimes I'm up all night crying and I don't know what to do.
Message me if you need to talk, I get what you're going through.
