i have been having problem at home and one day i had a problem with this lad. ever since then i have been having flash backs of too many things and one day it got to the point i could not cope i tried to commit suicide but my boyfriend stopped me from jumping. after that i did self arm and threatened to kill my self with a knife but a teacher at school took the knife off of me. i have been referred to a psychologist who says it is a psychological problem do to the medication i am on and has offered me some help. i have ecepted the help but now that one of my best friends knows what has happened she told somebody else and they have all fell out with me. i did not want it to be like this i wanted to live a normal life. i have been thinking about commiting suicide but what stops me is my boyfriend and what people say to me about me having alot to love for. i have not got alot to live for the person i love the most who is my dad lives in america. i had to leave him two and a half years ago. What should i do because i think i need friends my own age but they have all fallen out with me except for my boyfriend and one best friend who is in her thirties? people also say i have alot to live for.

Hello, 00l29,
I definitely understand how you feel to have friends treat you differently.
We all want to be same as others. But truth is to be same as others is nothing more than an ideal. We all are different. We have different faces, and different thoughts. Being different is just as normal as we can feel, and speak. So, be yourself, and hang around with your best friends and boyfriend, don’t worry about others. From what you said, I can see you have a very good boyfriend, responsible, and patient. Calamity is man's true touchstone.

And also I would like to list two suggestions:
1. There are many people at your age around the corner to be your best friends. It just takes time for you to discover them.
2. Normally, what people feel about us mostly is how we feel about ourselves, how people look at us is just how we look at ourselves. Maybe your friends still treat you same as they did before. It is just yourself keeping reminding you how they treat you differently. Tell yourself, “My friends are still the same friends I used to know”.

Hi 00l29, I'm glad your here and I'm glad you posted your message today. Your in a scary place now, but be patient with the help you are getting from the psychologist and the support from your boyfriend. Be open and honest with them with what your thoughts are. Your boyfriend sounds very supportive and concerned for you. There is hope for changing the situation you are in.

Have you been in touch with your dad?

I'll be thinking of you. Keep us posted.
