Sole Purpose Of Helping Others Confused & Misunderstood discussion

Guys, I've never actually done this myself, how should we begin?

I'm Shine. I've been treated like a ghost before and misunderstood many times but both real life friends and family.

I can relate to Loki. (I'm not adopted, but family needs to understand me at some point.)

I had no idea you were still awake, anyways, I'm truly sorry.

Hi. People always told me to stay strong or not cry at little things but they don't understand, I cant ignore issues, I cant be strong.

Hi. I'm Steph. that group description describes me with much accuracy. this should be an interesting group.

I'm HAYFA ,I do not know exactly who I am, in any case I have never told anyone about me ,But I don't see a problem with that .....

I think this group will be fun : )

Eh , Trelas What do you think of doing in this group???

I honestly feel it should be a journal for people to reflect on how two sided their lives feel, if that makes sense? But, of course there has to be that one thing that separates this group from the rest....

I hate my life

I wouldn't be surprised if everyone hated their lives.

Hello! This seems like an interesting group with potential.

I'm not sure being confused or misunderstood ever goes away. However, you can learn how to successfully navigate such difficult territory. Looking back on the difficult years of my life - and still experiencing some of them - I believe I have grown wiser through my mistakes and successes. If anything I have learned can be of comfort to you, I'm happy to help.

Thank you and it really doesn't, I agree. And yes, thank you for offering, I appreciate that because I am sure we need some advice.

Hi, my names is Abigail, I like Sunday Mornings for horse riding and Monday mornings for sleeping not school. Only a few million tests left and I'm finished with most of my courses.

Thanks for joining Abigail and we already know each other Jenna so nice to meet ya twice!

Based upon some of the comments I've seen, I want to throw out a few things to think about.

It was lifesaving for me as a teenager to find someone outside my close friends and family who I could talk to honestly without being judged or punished. A person with life experience beyond my own. Close relationships can sometimes be too emotional to allow for such brutally honest discussions. It can be easier with someone who is a bit removed from the situation.

As a teenager I thought no one would be willing, or that other people would not understand or could not be trusted. That is a lie. Consider talking to a friend's parent, someone at church, a teacher of another class or grade, or an adult family acquaintance. A professional counselor is an excellent choice, and many are free for those in school. Through the years I have done ALL of these things, and every time I found willing and helpful people offering a listening ear, compassion, and even advice, when I needed it most.

Taking care of yourself is more important than what anyone else thinks or says about you. If you are regularly angry, nervous, depressed or feel "dead" inside, it is a sign that something isn't right. It makes sense to get help just like you would if you had a broken arm.

It may sound scary, but one of the most freeing and encouraging things I could do was ask someone, "can we talk?" It can help you through the hardest times of you life, like it did me. Today, I am still friends with many of these people, and they have been unexpected gifts in my life.

Thank you for providing the advice which I definitely feel is 100% true. Sometimes, you're problems can be solved simply by saying those three words and it is important for many to know them. I have to admit, I'm not suicidal but I do indeed feel that no one can be trust with my thoughts except the people I meet on here, oddly enough. And you're right, it is important to take care of yourself and I think I need to began doing that.

No problem!

Haha *Thumbs up*
