For the longest time I’ve been depressed. Eventually my anxiety got worse and I had to drop out of my freshman year of high school. After high school I got my ged a couple months later, I was 16 then I’m now 17. I don’t really know what I want to do anymore in life. I have no friends or no social life at all. I barely talk to my mom about my feelings bc she doesn’t know how to deal with it, she takes it as me complaining to her when all I want is help. I want an actual life but it’s kinda hard when I have no support.

How is your diet? No need to answer but 9 times out of 10 people with depression, anxiety, OCD are not eating well enough to support their brain. Our brain needs real food to function properly. Eating health may be the number one most important thing to help. This is way families throughout histories, and culture had secret recipes they didn’t share. Figuring out what to eat to think clearly meant they had a distinct advantage in life. I hope this is helpful.
Hi! I just wanted to say I’m really proud of you for getting your GED. That takes a lot of determination, especially when you’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety.
I can also relate to having a hard time finding support. I’ve been through a lot with my son’s dad and some family situations, and I’m still navigating those challenges. It isn’t always easy to find people who will simply listen without judging.
I just wanted you to know that you’re not alone. Thank you for sharing your story, and I hope things continue to get better for you one step at a time. ❤️
Nice job getting your GED! We’ve tutored a lot of people to get their GEDs, and it’s not an easy test. We also feel like our life is falling apart right now, we’re making the decision to postpone college right now. Try looking for a therapist. Someone who will listen and wants to help. It’s their entire job to listen, and they signed up for it because they truly want to help. It’s a tough job; no one signs up for any reason other than truly caring. You’re not fully independent yet, but even without parental consent, you could find a therapist yourself. Plenty exist for teens, and depending on where you live the age of consent could be very different. There are a lot of therapists recommended on here, we just found one for our DID that seems great. Not all therapists work out. If the first one feels wrong, it’s not therapy. It’s the therapist not clicking. Keep looking. You’ll find a good one.
