I’m hurting so bad. I don’t know how to express this pain so I mostly keep it to myself. I bury myself in extracurriculars and school work to keep from having to make plans with my friends. I break down in private a lot. I hint to my mom that I need help. I think she knows that I need help, but I also think that she is just too embarrassed to take me somewhere to get help. I constantly blame this feeling on missing this guy, but deep down I know that it’s more than just that. I’ve tried turning to God for help multiple times, but it never seems to help. I often think about suicide. I am so scared of how much I can hurt myself and my friends and family. I just want help. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Feelings are hard to express. That’s just how we are as humans . But isn’t that just a great part of it? How wonderful is it that we are so complicated . Unique and special . All of us , but we are also as humans a social creature . So please try and speak to someone close to you . Don’t be afraid . Don’t just hint tell your mom strait. And even so her reactions shouldn’t effect you negatively . Just keep treading for that someone or something that will give you the courage to properly express yourself .
Just let it out. Let your desolation engulf the site and into the hearts and souls of it’s inhabitants until there is nothing left.
I stood were you stand now, and I stood in the position were your friends stand. I wouldn’t advise to just let it out. Be careful doing that, for yourself and for them. No matter how much they care, hearing everything what’s inside at once can scare them off… NOT because they don’t care, but because they do not know how to handle it, and running away from it often looks like the only possible way then. Closing yourself off is the baddest thing to do, like Bsuar said: we are all social creatures, although it seems the most easy thing to do now, it will be the baddest with time. Start with little things, and build up. Look first how they react, and you will notice and feel with who you can and can not share all that. Maybe you can connect to animals, that’s often helpful to put it all together, to give a little insight. Or perhaps you can search other mediums: drawing, writing, poems, music, MOVEMENT (not competition sports, or things like that, but just movement, especially because you are a student, you’ll feel some change). Remember you don’t have to be good at any one of them, you just have to try and feel what suits you. You might get help from them, but that’s not the end of the road… Both of them are important, sharing what you feel with your loved ones and looking for other mediums to get insight in what’s going on inside of you. And remember your mother isn’t the only way to get help, your getting some right here, but in school, guidance supervisors or student counselors… If you feel the need for that, just take action.
