About Emily Expertise I can answer almost all teen issues such as self harm, suicide, eating disorders, depression and other mental health disorders, drugs, alcohol, assault, harrassment, family problems, trauma, friendship problems and a lot more, so just ask. Pretty much anything that teens have to face I can answer. I'm also Christian and non-judgmental so I can answer questions relating to religion. I will not judge people about anything.
Experience I've experienced a lot of stuff in my life including facing death in several ways, self-harm, suicide, alcohol, harrassment, family and friendship issues and more. I've had to deal with my dad being sick all my life with MS and cancer, and I've dealt with severe depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. I tried to kill myself more than once and now I want to help other teens who are having trouble.
Education/Credentials In college studying psychology among other subjects. Plus life experience.
Question I feel like the answer i read is exactly like me. I have problems with people, i literally hate them. I dont want to talk to people, or meet new ones, or deal with them in everyday life. I have friends problems, because they all seem to pretend to like me and then destroy me. I have issues because i hate my stepdad and my real dad. I hate my mother for being terminally ill even tho its not her fault. I hate everything around me and hate getting up. I live in a fantasy world. And you may think its crazy, but i wake up early in the mornings, and sit in my bed and pretend to be someone else, someone happy, living a life that i wish i had. Its almost as if i am two people. And i have self esteem issues because i am overweight, have terrible hair, and am 15 and have never done anything even remotely better than talking to a guy. I feel ugly and disusting, like no one wants me. And i dont think anyone does. The only reason ive never commited suicide is because im afraid of any more pain than i already have.
Answer Hi Alyssa. I’m sorry things are so hard for you at the moment, and I don’t think you are crazy. I think what you need is a professional to talk to so you can get things out of your mind, get some advice for it and maybe see if there is any medication that can help you through this. It sounds to me like you are suffering from depression and I know the feeling of hating everything and it’s just not fair. If the world was a nice place then no one would have to feel like that. I think you deserve the chance to have someone you can talk to and get some help through these hard times. I know you might not like the idea of talking to some weird stranger, but you’ve got the courage to open up on here so I’m sure you can take the next step and see someone in person. Try your school counsellor, or even your family doctor can help. It is worthwhile if it can help you get through this and make you feel even a little bit better. I wish you the best of luck with everything
