I feel alone and I don't like the life I have

Hi, this is my second thread. I just have some other feelings I kind of wanna talk to someone about. (i'm 14)

I feel really alone. I don't have a best friend, but I don't have any other friends either. I hang out with this group but only because I've been with them since year seven and I don't want to look like a loner. There aren't really any people I can hang out with from my grade, I've definitely tried looking. It also feels like everyone thinks I'm a loser, people don't want to text me or talk to me at school. I'm part of two sport teams and I still can't find anyone. I know that friends will 'present themselves in time' and all these other things but I don't want to be alone for four years. I don't want to have to keep my feelings to myself all the time and never be invited anywhere.

I also went to England last year to visit my family and I miss it so much. My family can't really afford to go often but I feel like my family is missing me grow up and there are so many things and experiences and relationships I want to share with them. I can't go during two week breaks because we generally go for three weeks plus and I can't miss any school but my mum says that the six week holidays are too expensive and we won't like the weather. I tried to get there another way by going through a student exchange to just escape for a bit and experience something new and meet new people, but my mum shut that down. I've tried coming at this at every angle all my mum says is that I need to get over it and look at what I do have and stop being s negative but I don't know what there is to look at! I have no friends or social life, I personally hate Australia (no offence), and I'm going through some really hard feelings alone so I'm not sure what great things she's talking about. I don't want to do this life anymore, I hate it but there's nothing I can do about it. I also don't want to waste four years of my life, especially my teenage years. My parents say that if I'm going through something I should tell them or just someone except I don't have anyone to tell and they always ignore my feelings. I told my mum I wanted to move after high school and my mum said she would never forgive me if I did. I cry almost everyday because I want to go back so badly and she knows how much I miss it, and she's still saying this. I don't want to have to move away and never see her but I hate it here. I have no idea what to do or where to go.

Haha there's no way I could look 100, maybe 50 lol. It was great fun!

It is going to be hard but you need to get through this, and me and the others here will be with you every step of the way.

and sadly in exactly 26 minutes I have to get out of bed and get ready for school. I'm so anxious it's killing me and my best friends are all away on the duke of Edinburgh hike so what happens if I have a panic attack or something?

have a good day at school x

Aaaand I survived first day back. YAY!

I was anxious all day, however did not have a panic attack *relieved emoji* (I'm on my windows laptop not my iPad so no emojis). Am missing my friends, in particular best friend 😞 they have no service so unfortunately cannot contact them.

Overall first day wasn't as bad as I was expecting, although somehow have HW on first day :'(

How was your day?

Hi Milly 🙂 hope today is better than yesterday, for the both of us.

rn i'm in english, we are reading Romeo and Juliet and taking notes, but i read Romeo and Juliet last year for fun so I'm just going 'take notes' aka post on the forums. My teacher keeps asking for anyone but me to answer questions and deconstruct the passage lol. I'm just a theatre nerd don't mind me 😛

Have a good day x

Hey clo. Romeo andJuliette? That sounds interesting. So are you into like drama and theatre then?

This week has kind of sucked if I’m being honest. I’m just so sick of being around all these people and I felt really really trapped. It was also kind of like floating around in the middle of the ocean, with no where to go. I feel trapped partly because this is all just building up on my chest and I really want to tell my mum I just need the right time to do it. It’s also because of school. I’m stuck in this circle of people and there’s no where Else to go. The biggest reason I’m feeling like this though is England. The idea of being so far away do so long and trying to image being with my family is just so abstract now that I feel so trapped and stuck here.

Have a good day Chloe

Hey. That sucks that he’s moved on but at least guys like you right? I’m sure there’ll be someone else. If he couldn’t deal he’s not very strong. I can’t belive your friends would say that 😕 that’s a really bad thing for a friend to do. It’s not like your dragging out because you like having anxiety. It amazes me how people can just knock issues like that aside.

God I feel so isolated and alone and like I said really trapped. I had to get changed for sport and in the bathroom I just sat down (not as weird as it sounds it just happened to be in the bathroom) and I was like god I hate it I just wanna go home. I felt so sh**ty. I couldn’t take it. I would have traded anything to be away from these people. I’m so sick of feeling really bad but when people say are you okay I Have to say “I’m just tired”. If you knew how many times I’d said that in the past week. I can’t tell anyone I just have to fake being happy every other second of my life and I just want to turn around and say “I’m not okay!!!!!”

Sorry for the rant I hope your friends start treating you better x

Haha yeah if you think about it that way, he's not strong at all. New gf is calm, placid, plain innocent little thing from the year above... I'm too high maintenance hahaha. But if he's happy that's okay right? He said that I'm the strongest person he knows and that im taking this amazingly well even though every time he says her name or looks at her the way he used to look at me I want to throw up.

i was kind of relieved when he said he didn't like me anymore... It was like this burden was lifted... That burden was the weight of not knowing where he stood but knowing where stood and still stand.

Yesh my friends r being cows it sucks, but are seeing some today at relay for life will try talk to them and avoid best friend and new girlfriend. He texfs me abs goes 'hey I seeing *girlfriends name* tomorrow! We are found the movies and after we might come down to relay!'

I was like

oh

Sh*t

*cue mental breakdown

x hope you have a good weekend ❤️
