Guys, I am hitting an all time low lately, I just need some positive reinforcement. I don't get it at home because my stepmom pretends I don't exist. I have this important paper due next week (Wed) and I just feel so ill and sad all the time, and I feel like what I do will never be good enough so why even try, and all that. I just need to somehow make it through next week, I feel so incredibly alone....

I am so sorry you feel so alone. I am here and you are not alone tonight. I am thinking of you and sending you energy. You have come to the right place for people who care about you.
keep communicating with us, okay?

Ugh, I know how it feels to know that you have a paper due...I'm particularly familiar with the feelings that you get when you haven't even started. Rememeber that you are not alone. You have us. Reinforcement: Get started on that paper. Do a little at a time. It will get done faster that way. You are a sweet person. Things will get better, it just takes time. Hang in there, I hope you feel better soon. I'm here if you want to post.

You guys are so wonderful. I am sitting here in the town library (because I try to stay away from my house as much as possible, my relationship with my parents has degenerated to the point where I say nothing at home, I feel as though I have some sort of acquired autism). Anyway, thanks so much jai and elle, I am going to be at the library for two hours and hope to acoomplish a little something. Thanks, I feel better after posting, reading responses, crying, and posting more. Thank you

First of all, I've missed you! Really! I was going to post today to you so you would answer, as I haven't seen you around in a while... How's therapy going?
((((asya))))
I'm sorry things are rough right now. It seems to be going around. Hmmm.....
You're doing a great job! I wouldn't say so if I didn't believe it. Keep your head up. And try to avoid your stepmom. I can't explain why people act the way they do, but keep in mind, it's her problem not yours! Remember that. And you're never alone. We're listening!

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. I'm really sorry about your family troubles. I hope things improve for you. Keep posting. I don't know if I've ever heard you talk about a therapist/pdoc. Do you have one that you can talk to about all of this?

Thanks guys. Yes I have a T, have been going for 4 1/2 months now. I feel so nervous about it ending and am also ULTRA-sensitive to what she says. I am a very good external-boundary keeper, but I definitely have issues with researching her personal life, etc. and also wanting to have her in my "real" life. Someone once said it's time to get out of therapy when you use it as "a substitue for living." I really depend on my T a lot and I hope I'm not doing that. Oh guys! I just want my T to love me
