Feeling that im meaningless...

[ReInfected]

Has anyone ever felt like that? I've been feeling that latley. Today i went out to eat with my dad and his friends family and they all thought i was mad but i wasnt i was just thinking and they kept calling my name. And now my dad thinks that im mad at him and that i feel uncomfortable living at his house (recently i moved in). Im not that social and i dont like to talk very much. But i just think that "why am i here? Im so useless. Theres no point in me living. No one wants me." I havent had any thoughts of suicide but in the future if this keeps up i fear i will. Has anyone felt this before? I want to stop feeling liek this. I want to be happy with my dad. What can i do to stop this? And if i start feeling this way, what could i do to feel positive so i dont rub it off to others.

If you've only just moved in with your dad then you're probably confused about new surroundings and such. It's completely normal to feel upset after big changes, or even little changes - anything can trigger strange emotions. Also there's the fact that during puberty males aswell as females have a sort of "period", but it's less messy and is simply an emotional shift, which can leave you feeling down for a few days for no reason at all. You should probably try talking to your dad, tell him you're not upset with him.

No i've been living with him for about 16 months. I've had that "period" every
once in a while. I hate it because then my dad thinks i hate living there and hate him too and then he thinks that I wanna move back into my moms but i dont. But I dont have anything to say cause theres nothing wrong and then he thinks theres something wrong but there isnt so he thinks im not telling him anything. :( Also i wasnt feeling good which didnt help with my "shift". I just want to be normal and happy again.

it's called Depression.

Go see your doctor, he'll/she'll kepe it confidential and if you choose you can go without your father. Speak with your doctor and see what they think and they might send you for a councillor etc?

Councilling? Thats for crazies. Im not crazy its just that i feel unwanted

[Drooped]

then call yourself crazies cause, mr you DO have a problem, you need it sorted. Councillors aren't just for weirdo's.. your thinking of physicaritrists. or whateva ROFL.

Sorry but I find that really offensive.

[sarey]

Councilling aint for crazies. If it is, then call me a crazie, but its definetley not for crazies. Neither are physcitrists, they help, their called Professionals...

Maybe just a stress ball will help me. :-?

No, counceling is not for people with mental issues, and it's very common nowadays. You may know someone that receives counceling and may not even know it. Denial that you have a problem is usually the first step to its solution. You have mild depression and its mostly based on having to adjust to your new environment and the stress of the situation. While a stress ball might alleviate you for a while, it won't last forever. I suggest finding activites that take your mind off the stress or help you relax in some way. Listening to music usually helps or worsens the situation. The more direct approach to the situation would be to confront your father and tell him about your situation and explain that you weren't angry that day. I've had many occasions when this has happened to me as well with my parents and I simply tell them that I'm not angry, and if they choose not to accept it, then that's their problem. ;p But I'm not suggesting that you hate your father for it, no. I'm suggesting that you tell him to accept your answer or deny it, because you'll be okay either way.

Okay well. There may not technically be an 'official problem' for you to discuss with your dad or thats making you feel like this, but theres definetley something up and you need to make sure your dad knows before it's too late. If your maybe not comfortable speaking to him, or don't know exactly what to say, why not write him a letter? Just write down all your thoughts and feelings like you have here and let him know what's on your mind.

Also, don't worry. When your growing up your hormones are crazy and a lot is happening in your body that sometimes causes some confusion etc. without you noticing it, and because of this you can slip in and out of different moods quickly. I think a lot of people go through a stage when growing up, wondering what there purpose is on earth and why they were born in the first place, but trust me - it happened for a reason, just like everything does!

Just stick it out, and when your down and thinking of these thoughts, just think of the good things in your life, like your nice new home, the love from your father etc.

Also, try coming out your shell a little. Just start of with your dad even, and just get talking to him. It's much easier than you think, and the more you do it the better and more comfortable you will become doing it for later life! :]
