I need serious help!?
Question:
Answers:
Rachel I would suggest you not worry too much about what other people think about you. The reason so many of us become insecure is because we really get caught up in what society labels as the true standard of beauty. When I can guarantee you you are beautiful because that's what God made you to be. And you were made in his likeness and image. You have no reason to hate your life. I would say separate yourself from those things that are bothering you- friends or whoever. You don't need people like that around you you who will contribute to your feeling like that. That's nothing but negativity. I'll say this you are truly a one of a kind person who is here for a reason and has the opportunity to change the world. I think you are a blessing and can be an even bigger blessing to so many people if you just stick around. You never know when that good thing is just around the corner. So hold on girl and don't give up.
And if you want to get any kind of advice...get it from some Christian counsel.
First of all to be just 15 years old you are too hard on yourself. You need to see a therapist. It is not necessay to starve yourself and punish yourself. Get help for yourself as soon as possible and tell your mom what you're going through.
go back to the counseller and talk it through properly. your spots will clear up and you will become a beauty (just like the ugly duckling story). your friends are clearly not worth bothering about. how about doing an activity outside of school, join a club etc, so you are mixing with new people and making proper friends. this might also give you a bit more self confidence
use conseling, and just make friends naturally, people will like you for you, dont go searching for a friend if it means changing yourself, dont worry youll be ok.
I dooubt you're ugly, I bet you just need a shot of confidence. You should stick with councilling if it helps you. And if your current friends are ignoring you, branch out and do some extra-curricular activities or join some clubs. It's an easy way to meet new people.
I used to feel the same way about my pictures, too, but then I read some modelling tips and now I love the way my photos come out.
You have to find strength from inside as I know you have it. Ignore them all. You are trying too hard to be liked. Let body language tell them to go jump and see the results
Keep up the theropy and if needed medication. I am some what in the same boat but my problem is that everyone seems to always want something. If they call me it is because they want computer help even family. I couldn't tell you the last time someone called just to say hello.
Out in public I talk to everyone but prefer to be alone. I get lonely and thinking of dying all the time.
My doctor tells me to find possitive things about myself, my morals, kindness and such and think about them and don't give up on them. It is tough but gets me through the moments when the moments get tough.
Just remember killing yourself is easy for your self but think about the family you leave behind and what they have to go through, the thoughts that will plague their minds, could we have done something more to help and so on. Life is tough and even tougher for some but it is still worth living.
Hope this helps if you wish to chat more let me know an online friend is better then none at all.
Don't worry kid things get better with time, which I know at 15 you can't wait on.
Get a new look if you wish, blow everybody's mind, and keep on being real, somebody will love you for yourself. Trust me there is at least 1 person for everybody, whether fat or skinny, tall or short, fair or dark, beautiful or ugly. Beauty as we all know is only skin deep, you will mature over time. But for now pray for at least one good friend, God can hear you.
Neurotic behaviour and thoughts however, like suicide, eating disorders or cutting are not to be played with. Seek out professional counselling if you continue on this track and try to learn or develop some social skills. Talk to someone in your family who can empathize with you.
Love in Christ,

Don't starve yourself!
Just push away what people think of you, they don't matter.
What really matters is that you start thinking that you're gorgeous,
and you know what, i bet you're ravishing. Inside and outside.
If you think that you're going to fail at life then you will,
if you think and you truely believe that you will go far and be gorgeous
then you will.
Keep going to counsel ling if it's helping you. These people who are
ignoring you, they aren't real friends, sure they think their great and
everything else, but if they do this to you, their not worth thinking about
to much, because they can't see past outside, they can't look inside of
a person to see what really counts, personality, who you really are.
The boys who call you disgusting are wrong, their the ones who are digesting, people like that do not get far in life. They don't understand
what real friendship, and what being a good person is. They don't get it.
But the main thing is, is that you know you're worth a lot more than how
you're thinking of you're self. Self es steam is an important part of life,
try to keep is high, think nothing of what people say of you.
I know it must be hard for you to think better, but you have to at least try
if you want to stop all you're misery. You have to know, to believe that you're
gorgeous and worth it.
You know what, i'll be you're friend, and i wont judge you.
I remember feeling the same way.Trust me it WILL get better. I was made fun of something terrible when I was in middle and high school. I had goofy clothes, an odd sense of humor, was actually quite smart, and I seemed to be the only one that got acne! I wore glasses and had some bad dental problems that were being corrected. My hair never looked good and I never got the knack of make up and all that girly stuff, although I was as straight as could be.
My parents LOVED me just the way I was, as well as numerous relatives and family friends who loved my quirkiness. They always supported me and encouraged me to just be me. I became more mature than my peers by interacting more with older people and role models.
That helped me tremendously. I decided that I would concentrate on my studies and do the things I enjoyed, my reading, art, my horse, and not stress over my lack of 'friends' in school.
A peer group can be the most cruel uncaring bunch of people.So rise above their selfishness, and strive to be unique.
Take time to develop your talents. Be alert for others who you think are feeling the same way and try to befriend them. Be friendly even to those who seem to despise you. Become known as that kind girl.
I remember a few years ago running into the girl who was homecoming queen at school in '76..let me tell you, looks can fade. And I asked her how all that old 'popular' crowd was, and she said after high shcool no one really kept in touch.
So think of your situation as only temporary.
There is life after school.A whole lot of it!
So hang on, be strong, work on your inner beauty and take care of your health. Girl you gotta a bunch of living coming up !
Please let me, a total stranger tell you it will get better...this may sound silly, but remember the childrens story of the little engine that could?? Well tell yourself over and over I THINK I CAN...and set yourself some goals...one small step at a time, and before you know it time will pass and you will look back, and maybe try to help someone else someday.
ps...please please talk to your mom...she really needs to know how you are feeling...go back to counseling if you need some support
GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS
I am kind of going through the same thing that you are going through. I have felt like you since like 2004. I wouldn't suggest starving yourself. Eating disorders are not fun at all, and you don't want to put yourself down that road. As for wanting to kill yourself you shouldn't do it. Find something in your life that you really enjoy and put your energy into that. You can email me if you want to talk about your problem though. Because I kind of know what you are going through.
Negative feelings (and even positive feelings) are all a part of the pain body.
This is the accumulation of pain from the past which reflects itself in the present and is intrinisically related to our egos, which is our self perception and sense of identity.
So if we were abandoned a lot when we were a child we may have abandonment issues and when a partner leaves us for long periods of times we may get anxious.
The way to dissolve this pain is to just focus on the pain field, the energy that you should feel in your body and stomach sometimes even travelling down into your legs when serious emotional pain is present. Just breathe and totally focus on the pain that is there. Feel the pain body but do not connect it with any thoughts, just close your eyes and feel it - can you feel it losing it's momentum?.
The problem is that people feel pain, believe that it is a part of them instead of just a fleeting energy field and then will feed it with thought. The pain body is a hungry and verocious animal when it gets going and is very hungry. You will feed it with thought and the thoughts will become totally wild and speculative even and this in turn will energise the pain body which will make the thoughts even more crazy and so on like a vicious circle.
The answer is to not feed it. When you feel it coming, close your eyes, breathe, feel the energy there and totally accept it. Don't resist it, just completely accept it and let your mind go completely blank.
The pain body will just dissolve like magic. Eventually if you keep trying this it will open up a whole spiritual realm for you and your pain body will eventually just die.
