I have always been so proud of the fact all the bad stuff I have had done to me that it always made me a stronger person and it was my way of getting through it! but now I'm not strong at all its all too much to cope with.this will be long but please help me as I can't help me

When I was younger my moms friend used to call me fat and let her sons call me fat I was only 114 lbs! she used to mind me and my sister and brother everyday after school we were good friends with her other children but she used to not give me dinner or anything to eat and tell my mom I had some and I was afraid to tell her I didn't she used to turn any new friends I made moms against me! I became really thin and she still called me fat I couldn't understand? finally after 4 years of this my mom stopped being her friend

We moved on with life only for me to be bullied by one of my best friends for a year and I was a loner for that year and my dad used to hit me a lot!

In spite of all this I came through it stronger each time something went wrong! I made new friends had an amazing new life

Then I got bullied again by a girl who lived near me I couldn't understand why as everyone always liked me as I was a nice girl ! I then stopped going out due to fear and then this is when my life turned upside down the one time I didn't face my problems full on my life shattered around me! I couldn't face my problems anymore I thought no I can't do this not again for once ill ignore it !

Worst thing I ever done was ignore it . I distanced myself from my friends ,school anything in the outside world and now today 3 years on I have not one friend left I'm at home while everyone is off getting ready for college! I always fear something bad is going to happen to me now so I don't like to go out I freak out around people and take panic attacks ,people I love have died in the last while and now I just can't take it no more how can I get out of this rut when I have a fear of being around a lot of people ,the outside world and anything really

Please don't say go to therapy as I have been in therapy for 6 years and it never helped at all

Suicide has been tried twice but now I just want to get my life back help me as I don't know how I can

This is a really tough situation, but let me tell you, first, that I have just come out of this same type of situation - where I just didn't want to be around anyone anymore and just wanted to die and drop off the face of the planet because of being hurt so much!

First of all, I realized that whatever the problem was that I was facing, I couldn't seem to find a way out of it. A lady on tv, Joyce Meyers, once said, "Sometimes the only way out of things is to go through them." I realized that the only way for me to get out of what I was going through was to go through! Another guy on tv said, "If you're going through hell, don't stop!" I realized that I couldn't stop in the middle of what I was going through - I had to keep going or else I was going to sink into the muck of depression and despair.

Next, I realized that I had gotten to the point where I was afraid of being around people - anyone or anything. I had to come to the terms that fears are not necessarily real. Someone once said that FEAR stands for "False Evidence Appearing Real." I decided to push through my fears.

After that, I also realized that since I wasn't going to get out of the situation and had to go through it, I needed to get rid of fear and just be myself through it. This has been was I have been going through for the past 3 years. I think I'm almost finally out of it, and I still have my bad days where I'm tempted to allow myself to sink into the mud, but I find that when I fall down, I can just get back up again and start on my path again. It's much easier to be alone than to learn how to deal with people properly.

Something that I highly recommend is learning how to set healthy and appropriate boundaries for yourself. There is a book called, "Boundaries" by Cloud and Townsend that really helped me in my life to evaluate whether I was keeping healthy boundaries with people or not. So many people in my life had crossed my boundaries and hurt me because I did not draw the lines clearly for people or because I had allowed unhealthy people to be in my life. I have been dealing with this for several years and am learning to recognize unhealthy people and boundary crossers when I first meet them and to not get into relationships with them. Thank God! If you need to talk, you can email me at mine and my girlfriend's email address alyce_maloney@yahoo.com and I will be glad to help walk you through what you are going through.

There's some good advice here and I just want to add to it.

Have you looked into getting your G.E.D. or equivalent? If you got that, then I would then try looking into local state/community colleges. If you talk to the office of admissions they can definately help you with getting a perspective on how to get back to continuing your education. I was out of high school for a while (like 5 years) and applied as Performance Based Admissions student. You just take tests to see where they place you. That's just some thing to look into. I don't know if it helps any.

You can either take all these things in 2 different ways.
1: You can wallow in your own pain (bad choice)
2: you can prove to yourself that because you have been through all these things and blossomed into an amazing young lady.
you need to know that people can sense "weakness(as they call it)" and pick bully you because of it.
I have a friend that has been through many bad things, and like you has seriously contemplated suicide, but I help her by reassuring her that she isn't alone in this world and that we are here for her.

Think about it, do you have anyone at all that you can turn to?
if so, use them as a crutch.
If not, then find someone nice, caring and compassionate. I know it is sometimes hard to find those sorts of people, but I know they're out there.

Just remember you aren't alone in the world. People do care about you.

Well I admire your strength and courage that has got you this far. I think the best thing you can do is to talk to people, not stay away from them. I think although humans are individuals, at some level we require other people, we're all part of one big entity. Ever read the book " The Grapes of Wrath"? You should read it. All I can say is don't give up, I'm rooting for ya ^^

Question Asker 18 - 7 months ago
Answerer Ok, well the expression what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger isn't always true, as you've noticed. But you need to do 2 things. You need to rebuild your self esteem, and you also need to focus on other people. The saddest and loneliest people in the world are the ones that are focused on themselves. Think of something nice you can do for someone else, and do it. Maybe help out at a soup kitchen. Maybe take flowers to a stranger in the hospital. Maybe mow an elderly persons lawn. - 7 months ago
Answerer It might be something big, or something small. But stretch yourself, and make yourself do something for someone, that they can't repay. There is nothing that makes you feel more good about yourself, then doing something that is totally unselfish for someone else. It takes the focus off yourself, which is good, and it also makes you feel good because you know you are helping someone else. Its when we live for other people that we truly get a sense of self worth and that we are loved and needed - 7 months ago
Question Asker I have done nice things for people that's the kind of person I am but I just want my friends back I really just want me back I don't know who I am anymore I'm dead basically. - 7 months ago
Answerer Ok, well there's a difference between being nice and being too nice to the point where people just run over you and take advantage of you. No one likes a desperate or clingy person. If you seem clingy or desperate to hang out with them, they aren't going to want to hang out with you. You need to make sure that you're very strong and independent. Act like you don't care what people think about you. As you've found out, when people sense weakness, they prey on it. It's very sad but true. - 7 months ago
Question Asker I know it is true I have learned that ,i just don't know why god keeps me here when I'm doing nothing but hiding away he took people I love away from me who lived life to the full and loved it but he keeps me here the girl who tries and thinks of suicide and that does not even have a reason for being ?makes no sense to me I need to get a life and I don't know how or where to start - 7 months ago
Answerer Well first off, realize that you are still here for a purpose! So do something about it. Maybe make a list of things you can do for other people. And then force yourself to do it. Of course that's easier said then done. And believe me, there are many things I know I should do but don't. So I'm not saying it's going to be easy. But you are a very intelligent and strong girl. Write down a list of things you want to change about yourself and things you want to do in life. - 7 months ago
Question Asker Change about myself well everything because I'm not me its like someone else has taken over my body and mind! - 7 months ago
Answerer Well then start slow, and just change a cpl small things. Just go slowly, and be who you want to be. We are who we CHOOSE to be. - 7 months ago
Question Asker Yeah that's a good point we are who we want to be but how am I meant to get new friends and education back ? - 7 months ago

Honestly as a girl. And as a person who has felt to same way I'm sure a hundred time plus more. Its only best to keep the saying it your head. Life only happens once and no one is perfect. And for the ones that try to make it seem they are by bring the ones down then they straight up need to get over themselves and get a reality check. Everyone in this world it beautiful in they're own way. Just by publicly asking for help, shows that you are a strong person. Look at yourself and just remind yourself that you have been through that and just say f*** it. You are a strong person and NO ONE can tell you otherwise. Fuck Them all.

I went through something similar as far as being bullied goes. In middle school, I was bullied because I was quiet, and it went on for years. I started having panic attacks whenever I was around a lot of people, like at the mall. When I went to high school, I started hanging out with a girl who wasn't a good person, and when I finally stopped talking to her she ended up harassing me until I reported her to the administrators. Now I'm in college, and I'm still quiet, but I'm a lot happier than I was then.

If you want to get back into school, you should work on getting your GED. After that, you can apply to some colleges. I always tell people they should get involved at school by joining clubs in order to meet people.

Just know that you're not the only person who feels the way you do. Right now, it might feel like things will never get better, but they will. I know it's hard to find the motivation to get back into things, but you just have to force yourself to do it.
