Could use a little help.

Normally I’m a happy person but lately things have been getting me down. I haven’t seen my friends in a while, I saw my friend crushed under a mini bus in an accident I was in just after I turned 16. The woman who was driving the car when it crashed was being stupid and lost control of the mini-bus. I feel sick, I don’t sleep more then 3/4 hours a night, I’m always in pain and to top it all off my ex is being a total douche bag. The only reason I’m saying this is because I’m hoping someone my age can give me some advice or something, anything really even if it’s a kind word. To be honest I kind of feel silly posting this but I’m at the end of my rope here. Thanks for reading and please comment or send me a message if you can help.

don't feel silly for posting it, that's how you feel, and you're just looking for support. Nothing to feel silly about.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend by the way :( that must have been horrible.
Have you talked to someone else about how you're feeling? I mean, words on a computer screen can only help so much, so maybe a face to face could help if there's someone you feel you can trust with this.
you can VM me if you ever need to talk. I'm always here :)

Well first of all never feel silly for expressing yourself because it's a very good thing to do. There's nothing wrong venting as for some people after they are done venting about anything they may feel a bit of relief. Like a weight has been lifted off of their shoulders. You sure have been through a lot lately, especially with your friend. That is really tough to lose someone you're close to and as tragic of a situation that was.

Maybe you could find a therapist, or a counselor just someone you know you can talk to because keeping all of those thoughts to yourself is never healthy and I sure am glad you came here. It's a good first step. Even your parents if you feel comfortable with sharing these kinds of things with them. The stress is causing you to have the insomnia and not getting any sleep. As when your mind is going at 1000mph with raging thoughts and memories that you sit up pondering and worrying you just can't sleep. Before going to sleep at night you could try writing in a journal or writing your feelings down, or even just reading a book. A book keeps your mind occupied and your mind busy (a book also makes me tired).

As regards to your ex, you should just try and avoid her, it's best not to get yourself into unnecessary drama unless you have to. That way it's getting rid of the problems one at a time. I really hope that things turn around for you, though if you need someone to talk to I'm always here, VM me anytime.

Ive been seeing a shrink (psychiatrist) but he's fairly useless :) . He's more like a diary then a doctor. I dont really tell my friends about it tho because i dont want to make them depressed too, Im the kind of friend who bounces off the walls n listens to all the happy music (panic at the disco, mika, *nsync) so for me to be upset would scare the hell out of them. Actualy the last time i told them what was going on in my head they thought i was going to kill myself.

I can understand that. I never really like to vent either. I always bottled and swallowed up my problems. The thing is though the more that you keep all of those feelings in the more they fester in your mind, they will continue eating at you. Even though the therapist seems like a diary, not all therapists are all that great. When you do find a good one though where their face isn't glued to the clipboard writing things down and going, "Mhm, okay, I see, hmm." They actually can help. I had a spectacular therapist that helped me through everything even a lot of things from my ugly past. Just never feel like you have to go it alone, you always have a support system here. I'm always here VM me anytime.
