Feeling Alone and Unsupported

The only thing that helped me was finding it in me to help myself, which also led to talking to someone whose job was to care about what I say. I had no one to talk to in high school when my closest friend stopped responding to my messages. I sunk very low because it was so difficult for me to talk about my emotions, and every time I hinted at them, I was shot down. I even directly told a teacher of mine that I couldn't focus on anything, and he told me that he didn't believe me and thought I was just lazy because I could focus enough to do an art piece about it. I almost put an end to it all. The thing that saved me was no longer searching for someone to help me through it and instead being that person for myself. I scheduled a meeting with my counselor. I almost cancelled it, but I didn't. In that meeting, I broke down crying and begged her to take one of my classes off my schedule for the next semester. I told her about as much of my feelings as I was comfortable sharing. It didn't solve my problems and I wish I had told her everything so I could have gotten more serious help, but it at least gave me time to breathe and take better care of myself. I could finally sleep. I had time to reflect on my life and make new priorities - health being at the top of the list. And I survived.

Being selfish can be hard if that term has been used against you in a negative way.

You have to learn to be selfish it's difficult. But if they aren't willing to help you when you help them take a break from talking to those people they aren't serving any good purpose in your life. I would say try to talk it out with them but drop them if they don't listen. Feel free to message me anytime.

Be selfish. It might sound rude, but you should come before anyone else. When people ask for something and you truly don’t wanna do it, say no. You cannot keeping giving to people because when you give away all the cookies, what’s left for you? Nothing. Also just being proud of yourself for doing anything. Whether it’s cleaning ur room, going for a walk,etc. Your achievements are yours alone. They don’t have to be these huge overwhelming goals. Just try to be your own friend. What you do for others, do for yourself. When they need help on a situation, you give them advice, so do it for yourself. Journal,hug yourself, even talking to yourself helps. You need to be your own cheerleader, because not all of your friends or family is always gonna be there to support you. Good luck ❤️ msg me if you need anything :)
