Hi Alexa1401
Well done to you for showing kindness and helping people. That something to be always proud of Alexa. You been thru a bit. I can relate to the glandular fever. That hard to handle hey, the triedness I had it 10 years ago and still get days of extreme triedness and fatigue from it.
You got a lot on your mind and people have let you down. People can be cruel and not help in your time of need. Hope you find some new friends that can understand you and not feel alone.
Losing sleep is not good. Worry takes that away. Hope you get a chance to see a GP to help you it this tough part of your life.
Great to hear you got great parents. Try not to listen to the rumours and work can be a nightmare. Dealing with nasty people always demanding.
Hope you find something to relax. Like listen to music I find that helps me. T.V. Treat yourself to help your self esteem. Maybe hairdressers appointment, shopping. Something to put a smile on your face.
Hope it all goes ok. Be yourself. You find the right direction.
Take care.
Hang10.

Hello Alexa, I'm sorry for what's been going on because those who are spreading gossip in person or online is not a decent or mature way to act, and seeing someone else getting bullied makes other people feel bad for you, but may not say a word to protect you, that's the problem.
You have not been well physically let alone suffering from anxiety and depression and all of this compounds on your condition, so you're caught trying to overcome all of this at once, it's physically impossible, the effort is extraordinarily difficult, and I must offer you my sympathy.
You don't have the strength to cope with any of these 'friends', and you can't help them, as much as it's so good of you to offer, you have to look after yourself, and who better than your parents.
When someone has glandular fever, all their energy has been zapped out of them, and with you, there is up and go and unfortunately, this can still go on after you feel better.
Take your time, let your parents organise your treatment, with the doctor, psychologist and/or psychiatrist, but remember we want to help you through this, and I hope you can trust us.
Best wishes.
Geoff.

Hi Alexa,
I noticed your title post "my cry for help" and I had to reply. You have shown a lot of courage to post here but you've taken the first step in getting some help which is great.
The beyond blue forum is a great place to get support and advice from like minded people so I encourage you to keep posting here! But I think the next step would be to get some 'real world' help too.
As a parent, I would absolutely want to know if my child was struggling so I could do everything I can to help them! So please tell your parents how you are feeling!
The other thing you could do is book a long appointment with a GP and talk about your options for counselling and/or medication.
You are not alone Alexa and things will get better! Remember that happy bubbly girl? You can be her again 🙂
Please let us know how you're doing.
Best wishes
Star Jasmine

Thank you for showing me that i am not alone and reading about how you're a mother and how you would feel if your children were in the same position opened my eyes up to how they would feel.
Thank you

Great to hear back from you Alexa, and I'm so happy to hear I was able to help you a bit 😊
You're right - it's a matter of perspective... Most parents would do anything for their kids but there has to be open communication. I hope it makes your relationship with your mum/parents stronger.
Merry Christmas Alexa!

Hey Alexa, you a definitely not alone here.
I too are going through some tough times. Reaching out is the best thing you can do.
Taking that first step, does not mean your weak it means your strong!
You have a great support network here, I relied on them.
I have a thread "Your not alone❤"
My journey here
I hurt a work mate with my depression, it hurts me more than you think. This is something I have to live but I am determined to make things better.
