at the moment in life its really hard to do things but im not sure why, one minute im fine the next i cant take it. Its just random sometime worse than other times, i feel tired and think whats the point to life or if im just a burden for others. Also little words have pushed me too far sometimes such as my dad saying try to act happier or just act like its fun and this is because i have a monotone voice and this hurts me a lot due to the fact that hes wanting me to be something else that im not and this can leave me in a dark place. I would love to tell someone about this but i just havent been able to for at least 3 years it just dosent seem right.

Help pls

Welcome to the forum and thanks for having the courage to write this post. I have had people say to me'smile things are not that bad". My resting face is very seriuous.

Hi there

I agree with with Quirky, well done on taking the first step and posting here. It sounds like things haven't felt quite right for some time, and while it can be hard to talk about these things, doing so can bring some relief that things can start heading in a different direction. Talking to a GP can be a good start. I"m not sure what stage of life you're at, but if you're at school or uni there's usually counselling services you could chat to. Otherwise if you would be more comfortable you could ring Beyond Blue for some advice, or use their chat service. But it does sound like you could benefit from having a chat to someone, however and whoever you decide most comfortable with.

It's quite possible too, that your Dad doesn't understand that you're finding things hard, and if he did know, he might be more supportive. My son struggled when he was in high school, and I really wish he'd shared that with me so I could help him.

What do you think? Do you feel like you'd be able to have a go at opening up to someone?

Hi IdkDash, welcome to the forums.

You're not a burden and you do have a point and purpose in life, it's okay if you don't know what it is yet and that you feel that way. I'm here if you'd like to talk.
