I don’t know what to do anymore.
The story
I have been constantly in a bad mental state, started recording my emotions down every now and then to keep a record and most of them were very low and I often recorded being depressed and uncomfortable around my family and people in general. I am seriously struggling with my life and thought about ending it a few times. I started mild SH to not get caught by my parents. I told my mom that I needed help but I was ignored. Due to my family being extremely religious they thought that my struggle was because I wasn’t close enough to god or something. They won’t let me get therapy and I’ve reached a point where I can no longer talk to anyone and all I do is pretend I’m okay because I know I’ll never receive help. I honestly don’t know what to do with my life anymore.

I really feel you
hey, i'm really sorry you're going through this. it sounds like you're in a tough spot feeling stuck and misunderstood. sometimes families don't realize that mental health is just as important as physical health and needs real attention. it's great that you've been keeping a record of your emotions; that's an important step to understand patterns and triggers even if it feels small right now. maybe you can try looking for support outside the family? there might be online resources or virtual communities where you can connect with people who understand what you're going through without judgement. remember, reaching out for help isn't a sign of weakness but one of strength. hang in there, things can get better even when they seem impossible.
Man, that's a tough situation you're in; feeling trapped like that can be incredibly overwhelming. I remember a friend who was in a similar spot, and they found some solace by connecting with others through anonymous forums or even low-cost mental health apps available online; these could act as an interim solution while you're figuring things out. Also, it's important to seek small joys or activities that momentarily lift your spirits—even if it seems trivial—because those little sparks can sometimes reignite hope when you're feeling lost! Please know you’re not alone in this journey—many have walked this path and found light on the other side👍
I’m jobless so seeking help on my own is impossible. Going to the mosque in a few minutes now to draw with other girls my age and have bubble tea. It’s cheering me up a bit.
Bubble tea is good cure ❤️
sounds like you're really stuck between a rock and a hard place, which totally sucks; it's tough when the people who are supposed to support you just dismiss your struggles. your family’s religious angle might be their way of coping, but it doesn't help you feel any better, does it?!! writing down your feelings is solid but you gotta find some outlet that actually brings relief or happiness. remember there's always someone out there willing to listen even if the ones closest to you aren’t; maybe consider anonymous helplines or forums where folks get what battling mental health issues feels like. whatever you do, don't let this pull you under completely.. there's still hope out there somewhere even if it's not so obvious right now!
Man, it sucks your family doesn't get it; that's so frustrating!!! They're doing more harm than good by ignoring you. Although they refuse therapy and you're keeping stuff to yourself, don't dismiss finding a way out on your own terms! Hang tight; things can still change.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this and feeling so isolated. It's tough when the people around you don't understand the importance of mental health and think it's something that can just be fixed by being more religious; that must be frustrating. Keeping a record of your emotions sounds like a helpful way to process what you're going through - it can give you insight into your feelings and maybe even help communicate them better if you decide to open up to someone outside your family. Have you considered finding a way to discreetly communicate with someone who might be able to offer support, like a school counselor or a trusted friend? It’s really important to find someone who listens and acknowledges your experiences.
