Very Sad asked in HealthMental Health · 7 years ago

Guys who made fun of me, went to prom and I didn't are having happier lives than me; how can I overcome the pain from the past?

Okay, it's a long story, but this is about the high school I went to. I was extremely despised by the general population of the school and I was too apathetic about it that I kept to myself after school.

The other guys, I keep looking at their facebook pages and I see that now, 7 years later, they are living better lives than I am and I think it's partly because of the pain they caused me back then. Should I just kill myself to not feel this way anymore?

I bet they're not even thinking about me right now. What can I do to overcome this pain? It was so bad that I couldn't even tell the teachers or the guidance counselors, because they were part of it too. I've even thought about killing the teachers and the guidance counselor because at least they should have known better than to treat me the way they did. I no longer want to kill them, but it really hurts that those I should have run to for help were even worse.

    NO do not kill yourself ik it seems like forever but if you work hard enough to find something you love to keep you busy you will realize you are happy to be alive. And also just because they went to prom n facebook page looks good doesn't mean they had a better life then you. What if they were abused all theyre lives or maybe will die a slow painful death at age 30, you never know what some one has been through or is going through. Please call a hotline if you ever are suicidal. The reason my mind dwells om the past is to distract me from the problems in the present, i think its the same for you. If you use a good thing to distract yourself like learning an instrument or cooking your life will be soo much better. Suicide is selfish because no matter how unloved you feel,there will always be atleast one person that goes into a deep dark depression when u are gone. You are important and theres still time to show those awful people who are going to hell that u are stronger than suicide
