Help! I don't know if i can take it anymore: these people i live with aren't nice; i hate myself..?
(i know that no one will even read this so i guess it's just for myself.)
~I had a huge break down on Sunday, i had to take medicine because i wouldn't stop screaming and crying. It was about something... with, it sounds stupid but... there are hardly any stores in the mall that ever have my size in jeans... like, pac sun for example doesn't carry anything bigger than a 9-10, and they are all skinny jeans. My favorite store had every size of jeans 00-18 but mine that was in between 10-18 and it made me really upset because we went to all these stores and non of them had any that i liked/would fit. I probably have one of the lowest self-esteems of a person my age that you would meet... that think kinda sent me overboard. If you think it's pathetic, stop reading now.~
I suffered bad anxiety last year, but luckily, not depression. Now i have moderate+ depression. Since this happened i can't eat. I feel sick, i feel like crying, i feel like cutting, i feel sick to my stomach and my head is shooting pain.
•My dad: he is emotionally abusive, he is also an alcoholic; he screams, he yells, he fights, he embarrasses me, he is controlling, he has really bad anger issues. I am actually scared to be around him when we are at home. He knows "everything" and makes fun of me. EX: dinner time, there is steamed broccoli and old, brown salad. (i can't eat anything that is out dated or it freaks me out) i have broccoli on my plate "JESSICA here have some salad" "No thanks i have broccoli" "Well OF COURSE, SHE TAKES EVERYTHING BUT THE SALAD" and makes fun of me, screams at me when i have people over, tells me that i need to go to the gym (Keep in mind, he is 3 inches taller than me, and a 100 pounds heavier) Or he might scream my name in the house 3 times until i appear in front of him for him to say something like "U can put ur feet in the pool" just to be controlling and make me do something. My mom is trying to divorce him, or, was... but she is worried that he would loose this house. He is even worse to my mom.
•My sister: She is 31, 18 years older than me. She is a half sister. I can't remember 1 time where she did something that i really appreciated just for me. Not one time has she helped me when i was crying or was lonely and needed someone to talk to. She uses me to help her around the yard, to send her gifts on stupid games like farmville. She tells me that i should never be bored and that she would be mad if i was because there is "So much to do around the house and i should come to the barn and help her, i could even pick up sticks" but never, will she ever do anything for me. She is very selfish, like her dad. (1/2 sister) She is never nice to me.
•My brother-in-law: He is never really nice, he is always drunk. I don't think i have ever held a conversation with him before. He is a few years younger than my sister... i think that he thinks i'm stupid or something...(him and my sister live next door)
•My grandma: She could care less about how i am feeling, she is a drunk old woman. When my dad says something rude to me she giggles along. Nothing i do will ever be enough for her. She is always talking to me like i'm 7 and telling me to "clean up your mess!" which is usually like a water bottle, but... it's a "huge" deal. I can't stand her.
•My mom: She is the only one that i can... well, stand. I love her the most. What she does do is say stuff like "You're so expensive!" and try to tell me that i am something that isn't good like, that i'm negative, mean, dramatic... and it hurts my feelings. She also says stuff like "talk your self out of it" she is like a giant fortune cookie sometimes...
Is there anything i can do to just... feel better? I hate everyone, i have no friends, i am overweight, i'm ugly, i don't have any confidence, and my councilor is annoying as hell. She always sides with my mom, who says i'm whiny. I think i need medication, if i don't feel better than i do now i think that i will end up crazy. Help! And no, i'm not old enough to be emancipated, drive, or have any rights.
Do i look like a scene retard? http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/ac117/jessicaha...
Honest person, u obviously didn't read this... I AM FRICKIN 13!!! I can't get a job!!!

I read it all Jess.
When I started going downhill, Y!A was where I turned to. I felt like I didn't have anyone else in real life, so I started going on here more often, and it has helped me so much. If I didn't come on here, I wouldn't have found you! And jess, you helped me a lot too. (:
You should join youth group at church. I was thinking of doing that too. The people there are so kind, and they do fun things. You can definetly find someone there to talk to, and be friends with. Trust me!
Why don't you try talking to your old friends? The ones in the youtube videos. You guys seemed like you were all great friends. Try to get back in touch with them.
* You're not ugly at all. I think you're really pretty.
* Eat healthier, and excersise. That's all. Whenever you do start to lose weight, you won't notice it. But jeans don't lie. If you notice your jeans getting baggier, that's how you will know you lost weight. If you want to, talk to your counselor and get help from her on how to lose weight. You could join a gym too. I know that a lot of skinny people go there like you said, but they are just trying to keep in shape. Ignore them. You're there for yourself.
* If you don't like your counselor, tell your mom. Just say that you want a different one, because she's not helping.
Like you said, you're close with your mom. Take advantage of that. Tell her everything that's going on and how you feel, because she can help you.
And no, you don't look like a scene retard. (:
Stay Strong Jess! :D <3

Right first of all, I did read all of it, every last word,
And second don't resort in self harm, my friend ended up doing it once, and she regrets it so much, it is something that will stay with you for life.
I'm sure you do have some friends at school, someone you talk too, and if not make some new friends sit with some friendly people at lunch, they are bound to like you, as they will appreciate the effort you make. Or join a club outside of school like a sports club, and you will be able to make friends there, or a club in school. You say your councilor is annoying, why don't you get a new councilor, ? Or just sit down with them and tell them that this is your time to talk, and that you don't want their opinion, whats the point of this? Most of the time, it feels good just to get everything to have someone listen to you, to tell them how you really feel, and you will feel better knowing that someone else understands how you feel. Also take some time out, chill, spend some time just by yourself. Make your bedroom somewhere just for you to relax, a place where you can get away from the outside world, decorate it how you want :) Relax in there, maybe listen to some music, read a book? trust me, this will make you feel much more calmer, and better. You will not end up crazy, you sound very stressed so aswell as relaxing, find something you enjoy to do, maybe go to see a movie with your mum, it will make you happy. And you do not look anything like a scene retard, your actually really pretty, think positive keep smiling and your beauty will shine through and everyone will notice it, honestly. Oh and by the way, I love your hair ! :)
Hope I helped, Good luck :) xxx

when people see a crippled man they keep looking at him as they've never seen such thing before. i'm still amazed by such people they're ignorant, actually you've to be open and don't ever think to block yourself from the society. teens tend to make fun of people because all they seek is to have a good time regardless of the situation another reason is they've never been put in such situation so they don't really have a good idea on how it feels when you hurt someone. they're not experienced. simply just ignore them
- Jessa.Lv 61 decade ago
I read all of it.
Just remember that you are amazing. There's not much else that I can say. You don't need all them though. When your dad yells, just laugh at him on the inside, knowing how immature and foolish he is. Don't bother with your sister and her husband. Your grandma is immature and foolish just like your dad, just know that you're better than them, and always will be. Your mom loves you, and is trying to help. Remember that.
And you don't look like a scene retard, you're gorgeous actually.
I think you should change your user name to "Jess is Amazing".

I read every word, and I'm sorry but I don't know exactly how to help you. Maybe you should consider joining a sports team or a community group. They'll help you make friends, get active, and give you some confidence in yourself. I know there's something out there that you'll love and will turn your life around, you just have to find it.
And remember Jess RuLeZ! And you're not ascene retard.

Dont put yourself down....stay strong.....i know even if i did say '' i know how you feel '' i wouldnt be able to know how you are feeling because you are going through these things not me....i know its hard but try to ignore them all and try to get on with your education..your family doesnt seem like caring about you that much but that doesnt mean that no one cares about you....i might not know you but i still do care about you....i wished i knew you !....right now for you the most important thing is your education because your education can bring you forward in life...i dont think your parents will but your education will.....and i am sure you will be able to get a proper job and settle down with your future partner.....trust me you will get a handsome guy who cares about you more than anyone else does and you will get a great job...
YOU ARE PRETTY!!! you are definately prettier than me!...

Im sorry to hear about that. the best thing you can do is just ignore them and try to get out the house. why don't you hang out with friends more often. or talk to a trusted adult about it, maybe they can help you, like if you would like to be put in another family. My step-dad used to be very rude to me, so i would just either go in my room to read or play the sims and stuff or i would go with friends. it worked, now my parets divorced, is till talk to my dad tho.
no you dont look like a scene retard, your actually very pretty, dont let anyone tell you otheriwse
- SammersLv 51 decade ago
Hmm, do you look like a scene retard... let's click on the link... OMG DANG HOMIEE :) you are legit one of the cutest people I've seen! I don't think you're pathetic, you just have a really bad attitude towards yourself. You should focus on the positive aspects of yourself: you're totally cute, your family may not like you but they haven't gotten rid of you yet, your parents care enough to feed you, and you have strangers on the interweb like me that care about you, even if we don't know each other. Don't give up!

Ok well i have to be honest with you;
*you look normal, not skinny but not fat either
* you do appear to whine alot. No offence but i think that you can already see that whining to your family gets you nowhere, it doesn't make you feel better about yourself and it makes people call you names such as 'whiny'. Whether you do or don't have good reasons to whine doesn't change that
* Your mum is right. No one will fix your life for you. Your life will continue like this until oyu are a drunk old woman like your grandma. Like the sound of that? Well if not, you need to get out there and change things. You may not be able to change your family, but you can get yourself out of that situation by getting a weekend job. This will keep you away from their negative influence and help earn you money to get your own place. Try harder at school, trust me you need good grades to get anywhere worthwhile these days.
* Get some confidence, turn over a new leaf and stop complaining! Decide to become a new person, a person who is confident and immune to insults, who is hopeful for the future and makes her own way in life. You say your mum says stuff like 'talk yourself out of it', like what do you expect her to do? If she hasn't provided love and support like you expect so far, then you can bet she won't suddenly start. Only you can change your life.

Don't let them get to you.
You're a beautiful girl and you have your whole life ahead of you. Don't cut, don't let THEM take control of you.
You have to know that you're so pretty, stop calling yourself ugly, you're not.
Exercising is hard to start, but it gets better as you go, if you want to lose weight just try doing leg lifts, or just dance for a few minutes.
