For a few months I've disliked my life. I don't hate life, but I hate the huge amount of problems it constantly throws at me. I've spent almost ALL my time for months watching countless episodes of Charmed or playing video games, since when I play games or watch TV I don't have to think about anything else. My friends are acting weird and some are turning their backs on me, my mom has become completely psychotic lately for no obvious reason and my father agrees. My network and computers keep messing up and I spend hours fixing them after just spending a really hard day at school. I'm having some problems with relationships and they don't even exist yet, and most likely never will. I don't sleep well and have to wait until I'm tired enough to go to sleep to actually be able to. Every day I look forward to going to sleep, right after watching an episode of Charmed. It's always my highlight of the day as sad as that is. My idea of a great time is being home alone and allowing Charmed and Morrowind to consume me. And that's my idea of a great time because thinking about my life is the opposite. I had problems with cutting myself for a few months but I don't anymore. They say if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger. If I make it through this I'm going to be a hell of a lot stronger. *End of rant* You can call me emo now, whether you bothered to read all of that or not.
life isnt always peachy, as ive slowly realized. can you find an after school activity or get a job or meet new people? meeting new people is hard but in the long run some people can be really nice.
I meet new people online, which is where I spend all my time. I've made very good friends that way, and met one person that I met online in real life because she happened to live just a few miles away. I don't like after school activities, though, because I just want to go home and collapse when the bell that signals the end of the school day rings. The fact that you even bothered to respond to my post makes me feel better. Thank you.
Wow, your life really is hard, tv and games all day, don't know how you do it. Damn, I hope you never have any real problems in your life like hunger, death, lack of shelter, if that is all it takes to break you. My suggestion would be to get off your butt and start doing things in the real world. I have a feeling if you cut off the tv and games, then you wouldn't have so much stored up energy effecting sleep. You will find those relationships getting better as well.
What you don't understand is the reason I do those things all day is to forget about everything else. Doing those things isn't what's hard. I was feeling particularly bad the day I wrote that post, and I needed to get some things out. I know my life could be a lot worse. That's why I specifically stated that I don't hate my life, I'm just annoyed with it. Even if it could be worse, that doesn't necessarily mean I enjoy it.
well your problem basically sounds like you're bored. so find out whats up with your friends or practise your social skills and make some more chums. by the way you're lucky you have so much free time, at least you don't have shit loads of work to do! your teenage years are cool, you start to get more freedom and you get free food, accommodation, allowance, internet access, all from your parents. your mum might seem bitchy, but everyone has their ups and downs. it's not like she's attacking you/ abusing you. think of all she's giving you. ^ when you're older you'll probably miss your teenage years. don't waste them playing games all the time or bitching about how bored you are. DO SOMETHING!
Sounds like depression to me. I have the same thing. Life is always throwing crap at me and I get so sick of dodging it that I just try to hide from it by immersing myself in other things, like games and TV. But I'm realizing that the only way to truly get rid of your problems isn't to hide from them, it's to confront them. It's to prosper in spite of them. Not everything will always be great, and when it isn't, you need to just say "Fuck all" and just do what makes you happy and what makes you feel good. Try to meet people online that are close to where you live. And keep the ones that are far away still because they can be very very good friends. You need to get out more and do things that you think are fun. Do things that will make you smile.
Pick up a hobby that will help you in a fulfilling career later on. If you like games, maybe dabble in software development and make your own. Self confidence comes from mastery; mastery comes from dedication.
The point is you have no real worries or you wouldn't have the time to play games. Nothing against you but everyone whines about nothing now a days. When you have no food in your belly then start whining. You have no real problems at the moment so get over feeling sorry for yourself and go do something. Wait till no one is taking care of you and others depend on you for food and shelter but all your kid wants to do is play games and watch tv.
I know how you feel. Lately life's just kinda...sucked for me too. But that's life. And it's our job to make it better. Which is what i'm working on at the moment.
