Why is it everytime when its close to meeting girls on POF make excuses of why they dont want to meet. It happens everytime I get close to meeting a girl on there. They usually back out of the date and never talk to me again :(

I feel as if I'm a bird in a cage...

My blood relatives Argue everyday.... They also want to see me in pieces, and all I want is to live in peace, far from negative people, but it's killing me... Having no money for travel and not having anyone to be there.... All I have is my animal companions but sadly I need human comfort. I'm battling this for my future and studies... But I just can't focus anymore.... It feels like my future and life purpose are fading away day by day.... When I work with animals I don't feel the same happiness as before and it truly hurts me..

I confessed to my parents about my depression...although it wasn't face-to-face and I wrote instead. They didn't react or anything. They never mentioned it. I'm going to look for the letter in their room and burn it later. So much for effort.

@persistentWillow4292

Maybe they don't know how to broach the subject or are afraid of saying the wrong thing so they don't say anything?

Perhaps you could give them the benefit of the doubt and now try to discuss the issue face to face with them?

Or engage a trusted third party to "mediate"?

Apologies if any of this is misplaced advice because I don't know your overall situation.

I feel alone and separated. Similar to not belonging and me being not worth anything.

I know im depressed, but this is the first time that i almost did it. I was crying starring at the scissors and saying to my self no, while scratching my wrist. Then i saw my wrist turned reddish and i stopped crying. I felt a bit calm. But Im scared now because i keep imagining stabbing myself, of cutting my wrist just to see blood

@Giselemae

I've been there and have found myself calling the Samaritans and other help lines.

They didn't give me advice or answers to my problems (nobody can) but just talking things out was helpful.

Please, if you are tempted to self harm - or worse - do consider reaching out to somebody supportive before you do anything.

Easier said than done I know so I don't want to sound trite or patronising.

I feel hopeless, like there's no future for me... I'm studying a pointless, worthless degree that will do me more harm than good on the job market. I have one year of studies left, after that, nothing.

I'm tired of everything, I'm not giving up but I'm just so tired of everything
