Thanks, you guys...

It's just...I've been having a lot of problems with friends IRL lately, and it's gotten kind of under my skin, and I just feel like a large majority of kids who I thought were friends are actually just fake...I feel like they're just talking about me behind my back and they don't want to keep me as a friend for whatever reason...

So it's just nice to know that there is a group of people I can count on, even if they're spread in different places across the country.

We're here for you, mate. Some people really seem to like putting others down and being cynical about everything, including their friends. I promise we don't play that way. Instead, we're cynical about everything except our friends! :D

Of course, that's just my general opinion, uninformed about your particular situation, so it might not apply. But I like the advice anyway so I'm posting it!

I hate coming to this thread... I hate asking for support when I know I don't need it. There's others who have much bigger problems than I do, and all my problems are just in my head and everything is fine.

....but.....no matter how often I tell myself that things are good and I'm OK.....it doesn't work or it never lasts.

Today....I just felt like breaking down and crying... My mind was (and still is somewhat) bouncing around and going from so many different things that I shouldn't be dwelling on... I'm constantly reminded of things I don't want to remember... I....

I honestly feel like I'm losing my mind....no, I already lost that ages ago (it's why I'm so goofy and crazy acting all the time Dreaming

). I feel like I'm....losing my sanity...

....I don't know what's wrong with me... I'm just....tired....of feeling....of thinking......I'm just tired.

Hey Jo, I perfectly understand what you mean, feeling bad just for feeling bad because so many people have it worse off. It's completely true, but instead of using that as negative motivation, it can easily be used as positive motivation. Not a day goes by where something doesn't inspire me to stop for a second and think about how fortunate I am that I live in America and not some place like Syria, where nobody is safe, or North Korea where nobody has the freedom to do what they want with their lives.

You could also consider that it's perfectly acceptable for you to get worked up over relatively inconsequential things, because you can only view the world through your own perspective. Your emotions are not "invalid" or something simply because someone else feels the same emotion when something worse happens to them. Now, the real problem with leading a cushy life in America like you or I do is not recognizing that many people have it worse off. That's actually the best thing to realize when you live in a safe, comfortable place like here. No, the problem is forgetting how lucky and fortunate you are. People who forget that their lives could be a lot worse, people who take themselves too seriously, as if their feelings are the be-all-end-all golden standard of pain and suffering in this world, that is the problem.

As long as you realize that you are fortunate to wake up every day without a reason to be afraid for your life, it's okay to get frustrated over stupid things. Every person on the planet feels the exact same emotions, no matter how good or bad their situation is.
