I don't understand whats wrong with me
I don't enjoy anything. I keep getting asked "if you could do anything, what would you do" in terms on uni courses but I don't enjoy anything thats the thing. There isn't anything in the world that actually makes me feel genuine happiness. I got my A-level grades, they were horrible. I ran out of time in every exam, even GCSEs. It's been a constant thing, I don't know why. I'm not a slow writer, just a very slow thinker and it takes me ages to understand what something is saying.
Everyone is so excited for uni and how its right round the corner - but I just can't believe I have to waste another stage of my life in education, or waste a stage of my life in general. I'm not an interesting person. I don't feel real. I feel like my only purpose in my life is to be in the background for someone elses life. I feel like everyone has a life that is interesting, happy or eventful whereas I have nothing going on.
When I was in year 9, I always thought stuff would get better especially after sixth form because I'm practically "free". It was all a lie. My teenage years were supposed to be one of the most fun years I would every experience. It was all a lie

Have you spoken to a counsellor? Sounds like depression and it seems to be clouding your judgement and skewing your wants.
If you have tried counselling but it didn't helped, have you considered seeing a life coach?

I would like to try but I'm scared that my parents will find out because they don't believe I could ever have something wrong with me. Every time I tell my parents how I feel, they just blame it on my phone and tell me to get a grip. Is there anything online?
There is a counselling practice that does online counselling that I can recommend. Let me know if you want to know their details.
Your parents have little to no business in your mental health; that's something for you and you alone. Should you wish to share this with them, then it's up to you.
There are times when we need to tell people to get a grip. However, there are times when this is wholly inappropriate and can be detrimental. I don't think this is one of the former occasions.

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear you're going through this difficult time🧡
It sounds like you may benefit from talking to someone? I'm sure a rep from Papyrus can tell you more about their 24/7 phone line. There's also a few support options including webchat and text support that we signpost to on Student Space.
You're doing absolutely the right thing by expressing these feelings, and I'm sure one of the above services will offer a great listening ear for you. Your teenage years being your best years really is a myth - my teenage years certaintly weren't my best and I think that's the case for most people too.Be kind to yourself, and best of luck. -Izzy
