I need some sound advice on how to make myself feel better! I have no one to talk to, and my parents are so narrow minded they think of things too seriously, and only in ways to benefit themselves.

I need to chat to someone about my problems and the way that I've been feeling, but I feel guilty about discussing my problems with my friends when they themselves are so happy and content, I don't want to spoil their happiness with my sadness, leaving me to feel worse that i began with. Is there a way to make myself feel better, and deal with my issues without involving other people, I feel bad for telling people about my problems when they are happy.

What can I do?

Thank you.

Hi Anonymous!

I feel the same way at the moment and when ever I let it out to someone I ended up getting into trouble after wards I found that writing a diary really helps ;)

AskEve agony auntIf you don't want to bother your friends with your problems why don't you write them down in a journal? Expressing your feelings on paper is a great way to get things off your chest and when you see them written down it's sometimes easier to know how to "fix" them.

If your friends are really your friends, they won't mind listening to you if you have any problems, that's what friends are for. I'm sure they would hate to think that you couldn't go to them when you have a problem you wanted to ask about. Don't think you're the only one with problems though, EVERYONE has problems, even your friends. People put on a face for the world sometimes to make it look like they come across as happy but this is definitely NOT always the case.

Sit down with a friend you know you can trust and start chatting to them. If you say something like "you're lucky you don't have any problems..." they might let you know they wish you were right and start confiding in you. If you've never asked them how they are and how they're feeling then they might think the same as you do... that you're not interested.

If there is something specific that is worrying you and you want to get it off your chest or ask for advice on it then please feel free to talk to me about it and I will give you the best advice possible okay?

Look in your local Telephone book for help lines. There are a lot out there. It is easier to talk when you can`t see the person onthe other end. They might not give you the right answers but it helps to get things off your chest. good luck

wookiee's girlfriend agony aunti find that talking to someone you know, but are not necessarily friends with (ie. hang around with them) helps because they don't judge you in the same way as close friends do, and you don't get the 'knowing' looks that friends tend to give you.

Maloletka agony auntHello... I think you are too much concerned about your problems...

Ofcourse i have no ideas what yours problems are, but if you will shortly describe them, we all will try to help you... You know, sometimes it's really important to hear someones opinion... Sometimes, you cant clearly see the way out, but someone else can show to you that way... ALSO, dont worry so much!!! It would be nice if you could talk to your parents, friends, etc... But sometimes it's great to receive advice from complete stranger...

So would you please tell us your age, briefly describe your problems? So we can understand what is going on... I am asking for age, because i cant give the same advice to a 15-20 year old person and to someone who is much older than me...

I will you good luck,,, Hopefully soon enough you will find someone to talk, someone who you will trust and someone who will understand you....!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be Blessed

Jadzia1127 agony aunt You didn't state what your problem is that has you in such a need to talk.

If strangers online are too scary to confide in then you really need to get your mother alone and try to talk to her. If that doesn't help then make an appointment with your school counselor.
