Sorry you feel this way. I've known a few friends in the past that inflicted self pain... It's scary sometimes. I can somewhat relate to you in the sense of my family.
My mom, father, older brother, aunts, uncles all smoke pot. Me and my twin are the only ones who don't. It sometimes frustrates me to no end. I mean, they are nice people, but why do they have to be doing that? Anyways, no matter how bad live looks let me assure you there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
All of middle school and highschool I was depressed. I had a auto-immune thing where my immune system attacked my hair. I would only have about 40% left and all in random patches. People would tease me and joke about me being a cancer patient, stare and laugh behind my back. Sometimes steal my hat off my head to look and make jokes. A few times I got in a fist fight because I was teased so much. I'm just glad I was a good fighter.
Anyways, I spent my days really depressed, believing no one cared about me. I had friends, but I would make myself believe no really cared. I never contemplated suicide but i would wondered at times, what if I didn't exist... how would life be different? Did anyone in life really care if I was gone? I had a few people knock some sense into me. Many times if we fill our hearts with everything negative it's hard to see. Sometimes we may feel there is no hope but let me assure you, there is always hope for anyone willing to stay and fight. As long as you don't give up, satan looses. God really does care for you. I wish you wouldn't torture yourself like you do, no good can come from it. Being as young you are it's a shame you had to deal with all that and I'm sorry you did. But let me assure you, there are many people here at CAA who can relate to you. You are not alone and there a many people here at CAA who care deapley for you. Me included. Have you tried talking about it to someone you trust? Sometimes talking takes a lot of weight off our shoulders. We can't always let things like emotion build up for too long, because if we do, the only harm will come from it... exploding at anytime... We shouldn't have to live with anger and sadness in our hearts. If you can, please try talking to someone like a best friend or even someone from CAA.
I know if might not seem like a lot, but if you ever need anyone to talk to feel free to PM me. Because I do care for your well being, I really do. Or if you have Aol Instant messagener my Screen name is listed in my profile. Although I'm not the best with words or advice, I will try my darnest. I will pray for you. Just remember God cares for you and so do the people here at CAA. Sometimes many of use are dealt a pretty crappy hand, but sometime you have to take it as it comes. If you stay for the long fight, you can bluff yourself the win. What hand we get dealt doesn't determine who we are, it's how we handle them. Keep smiling even when things seem hopeless. It may sound hard or even stupid, but it really does help.
I will continue to pray for you. Just remember you're not alone.
