Hey. I've got a really big problem. Things haven't really been going right for me the past few years. I went through a tough period of cutting myself, crying every day and becoming bulimic. I've kind of over that stuff now, although I do have relapses every so often. I hate the way I look, I hate everything about myself. The things I do in my life I try and make myself feel better by doing. I go out every weekend and get so wrecked I can't remember a thing. I've recently passed my driving test and I drive past the guy I like's house most days. I'm only 17 and I've slept with 7 people, I think if I throw myself at guys they will like me, although I know in the back of my mind its not true and I hate myself for doing it.

I'm in my second year at college, and I have missed so much that I have no idea what to do. I think I'm gonna fail by the end of this year, but I really want to go on to uni. I've messed up my life and I cannot turn it around no matter how much I want to. Right now I am trying to do a law essay but I can't do it. I've ended up staring out of the window thinking about the guy I like and now I'm crying again and I really don't know what to do. I cannot concentrate any morneed to get myself through this but I really don't know how to. I have someone I can speak to, but she isn't very stable either and we just seem to drag each other down.

Please help! Thanks x

Hi

Stop worrying as this is blowing everything out of proportion. Well done for passing your driving test! well done for not cutting! well done for trying to do well!

Your mind is a little too busy at the moment...try and forget the guy for now and focus on what you CAN do now and what you have to do.

College Essay go to the student welfare explain how stressed you are and they may give you a time extension...but you must ask for help and not ignore that you are behind with studies.

Please never give up and start thinking negative. you are on the right path and you can get to university and achieve what you wish if you keep trying. Visualise what you want and FOCUS and make your dreams come true. Love yourself and like your bad qualities, we all have them.

Focus on the present, visualise the future ( a good one) and don't waste time and energy on the past it has gone.

never say you cant do something or you limit your potential, you have the world waiting in front of you. You can do anything if you believe in yourself...i believe in you..go get em girl...whats a poxy essay you can walk it...its a load of rubbish but sadly if we want that qualification we have to work for it, even when it does not make sense. Just do your best.

I wish you luck. Never give up. SMILE.

so_in_love is verified as being by the original poster of the question

The boy I like I have slept with twice. I work with him. He is a dead nice guy if you don't get involved with him in that way, but I did. I know hes an idiot, and I really hate the person he is. Yet somehow that makes me like him more.

My family are traditional and strict. My brother and sister are both at university, and if I fail these exams I will have let everyone down. I am already the let down in my family to be honest, I can never make them proud of me no matter how hard I try.

I'm scared of going to the doctors, I can't speak to someone face to face about how I feel, but I know I need their help. I don't want to walk in and say I think I'm depressed and have anxiety issues because I think that the doctor would just think I'm some stupid teenager going through a stage.

Thanks x
