Feeling Depressed, Useless and Sad.
I feel so unhappy from within me. I'm not good enough. My one and only crush doesn't even bother about me. I don't feel like he and I will ever have something and it hurts me. I am rude and grumpy and don't even know how to talk respectfully and kindly to my parents. I have so many mood swings and I am starting to hate myself so so much. I'm starting to get really far from God as well and it's been a while since I started masturbating. I know it's wrong, but it's so hard to stop. I don't know what university I'm going to go to, what career I want to pursue.. and what is worst of all is that I don't think I have any TRUE FRIENDS.
Every person I trust and get attached to end up either hurting me, disappointing me or leaving me. I feel like a failure.
What's going on? Am I alone? -
Re: Feeling Depressed, Useless and Sad.
I think the best thing that you can do is to start looking really hard at what University you want to go to. Although I'm only going into year 13 so I can't tell you from experience but there are thousands and thousands of people at University. I'm sure as soon as you get there you will click with far more people than you say you are at the moment. Have you tried talking to your teachers about what University courses they think will be good for you and then you can make some career options based on what course you want to take.
You say you are rude and grumpy. Maybe if you acted happier in front of people your friends will be kinder back to you, and you never know, this guy might come to like you.

Hi,
Although your time at the moment as you describe doesn't sound great; it doesn't have to be that way.
The best thing I think you can do is just to try to change the way people perceive you. You said you are rude and grumpy; maybe this is the reason why you say that you have problems with your friends. If you act happy even if you are not, your friends will be happier back to you which will make you feel much better about yourself.
When you go to University there will be tens of thousands of new people you can meet; there will DEFINITELY be loads of people you will click with and will become friends with. Why don't you discuss with your teachers about what University course and career will be suitable for you and then you will have a clear goal for life which again should make you much happier.
Best Wishes

Hi, I agree with everything that has been said, university will be a new start for you. You will meet lots of new people, just try and have a bit more belief in yourself, because you are good enough.
Xx
