Um, I'm 16 and a girl. I play video games and I get straight A's. I have never been to any doctors to discuss my stuff so I am not official diagnosed. I had a pretty yikes childhood mainly due to my dad. I am currently friendless and my family is in ruins. I basically hate my sad life and I want to just...urgh. Well that's me! Yay I am here to talk and maybe not feel so alone.

Hi Vivianbear

Welcome and good on you for having the courage to post too!

Your intro is fine. I understand you about having a 'yikes' childhood....and mainly due to my dad too

You life and well being is important to Beyond Blue and the forums. There is no judgement here....just the best support we can provide 🙂

If you wish we have the 'Young Peoples' forums that have many people that are also finding life difficult too. I have placed the 'copy & paste' link below for you!

You're not alone. I'm way older than you, mum of 2 kids older than you and 1 younger, but "yikes" still makes perfect sense to me.

Awesome on getting straight A's, and I bet you're a pretty good gamer, too - what's your game of choice? I admit I know next to nothing, but my kids have done Minecraft, Overwatch, Fortnight, League of Legends and so many more, I forget them.

I've reached out on here for the first time tonight, too, so just thought I'd say hi, and you're so not alone in feeling very lost. Your GP is a great first way to go, and you don't need parents to be a part of that if you don't want to. Headspace is also fantastic - my daughter has just started going there and I'm really impressed - no judgement, no hassle, just really kind, helpful people.
