I have had 16 years of anxiety ridden life. The social phobia has gotten the best of me, I have no friends and am not in school. I stopped going last year in October.. After I ran away.
I was living in a dilapidated house. The ceilings leaked, the water pipes didn’t work, there was no heat. It had been less than a month that we lived there and we loved there due to transitions of homes. We were waiting for things to go through with the house we would be renting. Anyways, I was dealing with that and then school. I have no friends, the anxiety made it terrifying to step in the vicinity of the school. I would cry myself to sleep. One day I threw up at school due to nerves and ha my mom come get me. She dropped me off at home and ran errands. It was evening, and I had been considering leaving. I layered on clothes. Got a bottle of water and food and left. I walked all night and ended up in some town where I fell asleep on a bench. I was soaking wet due to rain. I woke up to my grandparents. I rode home and found out the police had called int he DCI to find me. I had mild hypothermia.
I got taken out of school and “homeschooled” but didn’t keep up.
I was more secluded. I was more stressed out because I knew I’d have to face school and how far behind I was. One night before I was supposed to go back, I overdosed on klonapin. I took 22 pills. I dot remember an entire week.
My parents found me in my room and took me to the hospital where I was ambulanced to the university and in the emergency room with a tube down my throat to keep my airways from closing all night. Then I was moved up to icu for a night and then pediatrics for 3 days. Then I got put in a child ward for help. For 9 days.
I’m supposed to be a junior this year. I think I’m just going to get my GED and fuck, I’ll admit it. I want to die. I can’t love avoiding people and school. My future isn’t worth living for. I can’t dissapoint people by getting my GED. I don’t know what to do. I go to therapy every week and am on 3 medications. I have no friends. I have no reason to live othertjan keeping my family happy.
I’m sorry.

I’m alive for the same reason
just remember that those who matters to you, are those who really “matters.”
you don’t need acceptance from any one else, when you’ve got such a loving family already.
so, i’m happy for you, that keeping your family happy is one good enough reason for you to live.
i am actually quite jealous of such a loving family you have.
