Hell or Glory?

It's kind of been a while since I posted on here.  Does anyone remember me?  (Naw, I didn't think so.  LOL.)  Last time I posted I still had a little hope.  Now I have none. 

I got up every day hoping that I'd be better.  Things have only gotten worse.  I have literally NO confidence and no personality at all.  I used to want to see doctors.  Now all I want is pity.  No one seems to feel bad for me.  They say that I have to get used to it, that people have to get through rough patches.  I'm not saying that they're wrong, but if I could get through every stupid "rough patch" that has every come my way, why would I be in this situation? 

The worst thing is that I am living inbetween hell and glory.  I don't know when I will laugh again, or I will cry again.  I have to live knowing that every day could be the worst or the best.  It drives me INSANE.  Hell or glory.  I don't want anything inbetween. 

I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself, but I have no idea what else I'm supposed to do.  Cutting myself seems like a pretty good option...but I'm not sure what else to do. 

 

Why am I writing this, anyway?  For pity?  For sympathy?  God, I can't do anything without questioning the saneness of what I do.  Errrgghhh.

Allyce, since your parents don't seem to take you seriously, is there a counselor or teacher at school you could talk to about the cutting and about wanting help?  I think if you could get some kind of intervention from a person from school, they might be inclined to listen a little more.  It's hard at your age to have the wherewithall to do what you need to by yourself, but I would guess that if you talked to somebody at school, they could get you the help you need.

 

Can you see that as a possibility?  You don't have to cut yourself to get attention, but I can see where you might think that's all you can do.  I hope you'll consider my suggestion and let me know what you think.

Hi Allyce

 

Yes of course we remember you.  I am glad you came back. 

 

So I think the big question is..what do you want?  and then...how will you get it? 

 

You talk about pity, sympathy, and attention.  Are these things what you truly want?  What would that look like for you?  Someone saying, "poor you" or...?  Do you want those things because you will feel more loved or liked that way?  I am not sure there is ever a good gain to pity or sympathy as they are pretty condescending things.  Attention I can understand more.

 

But there are so many good ways to gain attention...like through helping others, writing, doing well in school, being a good friend. 

 

I am thinking that if you figure out what you really want...that will be a big step forward.

 

Keep talking...we are listening.
