Aurpar

Im 17 in senior year. I've been suffering depression and anxiety for 3 years and every year around this time it gets really bad I haven't been to school for 3 weeks because its gotten so bad, I have no friends, and my parents aren't really helpful. I don't know what to do... I physically can't get myself to school, and if I don't complete high school I have no idea what I can do next year. I need a plan to get myself on track, but I am honestly so lost and confused.

Please give me some advice!!!

I have been thinking about this a lot lately.. I know rich people worked hard to get their money (somewhere along the line), either old money or new money - but do you think it's selfish to buy a big mansion, which I'm not saying that they don't necessarily deserve, but when they could rather give the money to someone who truly needs it?

For example, I'm 17 working at Maccas just for some disposable cash (my parents give me an allowance when I do my chores etc.)... Anyway I spent 200 on a new outfit when shopping in the city for day. On that day I passed many homeless people, is it a selfish act to buy something I don't really need instead of helping out another human being?

This is just a thought.... I just want someone else's opinion....

like people have been on this planet before

I'm a 17 year old girl, and I've had depression and anxiety since I was 15 years old. Since then my life has been very out of control, my anxiety triggers my depression and vice versa.

- I have developed social anxiety and thus my school attendance had been terrible and I have lost so many friendships due to isolating myself off from the world.

- I have a terrible sleeping pattern

- I have a terrible relationship with my parents

Last year I started going to 2 different psychiatrists, and neither of them helped at all. I can't really talk to anyone, I wish I could but I don't have any good relationships in my life.

I am currently doing the HSC and doing poorly because I am so unable to control myself and motivate myself. I feel as though my life is just one big repetition of forcing myself out of bed and going out into the world and just wanting to die. I seriously don't know what to do, and feel as though I am on that slippery slope down to my lowest point, (which I experience last year and the year before, seriously contemplating suicide and self harming a lot.)

I really just need some advice on how to get my life back together and how to focus myself and do well at school! I've so bad at sticking to routine, and I just can't see any way of helping myself.

Any advice/stories at all would be really appreciated.

lately i have seen myself becoming a perfectionist about everything! i clean my house from bottom to top - everything has to be symmetrical, everything has to be neat and in order. i stress out about my bedroom and want to re-decorate my whole bedroom beaucse it stresses me out. i feel the need to throw out my clothes with stains on them. i re-did all my school work because my handwriting wasn't neat enough and bought new textbooks because i had highlighted my old ones. I'm constantly stressed because i feel my life is a mess and i have no control over anything. my obsessive compulsive habits are becoming really frequent and worse... i don't know wants wrong with me please help!

I'm in 12th grade, and I have 2 friends that I have been friends with since year 9 but I have grown apart from them so much. It's like they still act the same as we did when we were in year 9, but now I have grown up and want to do well in school ect. They just do drugs and drink and go to parties/clubs every weekend. I like going to parties but not every weekend, I'm just so over it and would rather do something else. I want friends who are interested in the same stuff as I am, problem is most of the grade hates me because I don't have a good reputation (because of the 2 girls I hang out with that I mentioned before). I can't join extra clubs because I'm not really into that, and my social skills aren't great. How do I dis-associate myself with my current friends, and try to find new ones?

I'm starting my last year of school in 3 weeks and am already behind on holiday studying for exams.. i am so stressed for next year about not getting good grades and then not getting into uni! I'm stressed i won't have a social life what so ever.. and stressed about what i will do when school is over. i see all these things like '17 is the best age of your life' and 17 year olds partying and having so much fun etc. but i am just stressed 24/7 and feel like i am wasting my time studying and will regret not living my life, but if i don't study then i will go no-where in life. i cant find a way to balance everything. please help!!

yesterday i went into the sun for aprox 3 hours with no sun cream on. i am so so sunburnt everywhere and it is VERY painful. how long will this last? and how often should i be putting aloe oil on it? and when will i start peeling? when does the pain stop? and will it turn into a slight tan at all?

thanks so muchhhhh!!

I am trying really hard to be happy within myself and my life but I am a really sensitive person. I live in an area and go to school with lots of small minded people, who say a lot of negative things about the people around them. I have had a lot of people in my life say mean things to me, for example call me ugly/fat/stupid etc. I try not to let these things phase me and tell myself in the larger sense that what other people think doesn't matter, and how I see myself and how I treat people is all that matters, and as long as I am a good person I can be happy. But I find myself often getting down or even depressed over people being mean to one another or being mean to me. For example a lot of girls at myself ***** about their 'friends' behind their back, and I can only think they do the same about me. How can I not let these kinds of things bother me at all?

i think 70s,90s and early 00's had the best fashion

i like some of todays fashion, but not the high fashion stuff, and the 15 year olds wearing denim undies and crop tops.

what do you think?

5'7

66 kilos (145 pounds)

she just told my dad not to give me dinner because she thinks I'm really fat. I'm not even fat I'm tall and I'm in my healthy weight range. I'm just probably bigger then the average 17 year old girl by a few kilos. i feel horrible about this because my mum is always criticising me and it makes me want to run away. how can i deal with this? i've tried talking to her a lot and she just doesn't understand.

I just turned 17 and am starting my last year of high school in 6 weeks-ish. I go to a private all girls school. I am very socially awkward and can't hold out a conversation and am not very likeable, so I don't really have any friends at school. I have friends out side of school but they are into things that I am not into. For example they smoke weed on a very regular basis, and drink in parks and wonder around the streets till morning. I love my friends but I really feel I am way to old to be drinking goon in parks and wondering around the streets. This is something I did when I was 14 because I thought it was cool, and I feel so stupid still doing the same thing 3 years later. The people they hang around with steal, and graffiti, and are just basically have no respect for anything or anyone. I want to make friends with the girls at my school because they have much more class when doing social things, they go to parties/gatherings and dress nicely, and hang around with people who have respect for others.

Anyway my question is how do I distance myself from my current friends, and try to make friends with the girls at my school and get invited to their social events?

Any advice/personal experiences would be very appreciated! Thanks :)
