I feel so depressed

[Mystic]

I feel so depressed I can't hold it in.. whether it's seeing my dad unhappy or my girlfriend.. my life is not going anywhere I'm 15 and my parents have nothing, not even a car we're in debt and I don't know whats going to happen to this family.. my mom's schitzo so she does stupid things and at the moment I just cant smile :(

and the funny thing is when I read all of you guys posts on here that is so much worse I feel like an idiot for feelings this way :(

Hun, just remember, everything in life changes over time. Your circumstances will not remain so forever. Try to avoid punishing yourself for other people's problems, even though they are close to you and have a direct influence on your daily well-being. I know you care, and thus their unhappiness triggers your own, but you cannot change their situation - you must take care of yourself first. Make an attempt to shift mental focus away from these misfortunes and all its ensuing negative energy - one way is to get involved in more activities outside of these relationships.

An unstable family should not be a definite barrier in your journey to make the most of your own life. You mention that it is 'not getting anywhere', why is that? Are you worried about finances? The older you get, the more financially independent you will become, separate from your parents' financial situation. If you're worried about not having a life goal or future direction, that's okay, many people don't - it's something that takes time to develop and discover. The best thing is to stay open and be aware of experiences which may give hint as to the right life path for you.

No problem is ever too small here to warrant support. Please try not to feel bad about feeling bad, it can easily turn into a vicious cycle and that's the last thing you need right now. We are always here to support you.

May you have find the courage and strength to walk this difficult path. :hug3:
