I’m feeling very sad and frustrated for no reason. I can’t tell this to anyone because my parents say a lot of bad things to me when I tell them about my mental health issues. They don’t even try to understand and say "you are just 17 what problems do you have at this age. Stop overreacting ". This makes me feel even worse. I have also been facing difficulty in sleeping for over past 4 months. I’m suffering from depression, anxiety and ocd and I don’t know how to get out of this. None of my parents are ready to listen to me and I have no else from I could seek help. I have my boards this year and I have no idea how I would study for it.
I don’t know if this will help but I have been there, that feeling of being alone and sad for no reason but honestly there is you are not just aware what cause that sadness. You are having problems because your parents couldn’t give you support and advice in this things unlike mine because I never mentioned how I feel to them because I am also afraid before about how they will react to this things but trust me this things is just test, you can get through all of this, just think positive and don’t give up. There are a lot of people caring for you secretly, maybe your family also know that you can do this. We can’t blame them for stop overreacting because we are just young, they are facing problems too that involve the whole family that’s why the biggest support that we could get is from our self.
Ps. I really don’t know if this will help you but I just tried my best to support and advice someone who is facing the same thing that I’ve experience before.
people who say that you have no problems as you’re 17 do not understand what it is like to be 17 in this time, or at all. I’m 17, I’m depressed, I’ve got anxiety, ptsd, anger issues, i had insomnia and many more things that I won’t mention because it can be triggering. I don’t know how to help, but know you are not alone. I’m here if you need me
Parents are the real blessing for us. They do all the things that makes us happy. But it does not mean they are in one of them who can understand us. What are you thinking and feeling right, may be it is wrong for them. This is the problem behind our pain and their understanding. But they never wanted to see us unhappy.Age is not the factor that is related with bad situation. In every phase of life we face different new difficulties and feelings that felt like burden sometimes. But new experiences brings new lessons. You are young and in this age we mostly act like sensitive over small things. You should start studying for your exams. You are feeling bad bcz you are not managing your loss of time and interpreted situations. Dont be panic over loss of anything just take small steps towards your dreams. Dont delay it more. As time and tide wait for none. Try to relax your self with some kind of relaxing therapies like listening relaxing music and try to spend your time in peaceful environment so that you can sleep well. Nothing will change in one day. It takes time. Unless you do not take interest in change nothing will work in return.
