I am 17 years old and for some unknown reason I can't stop crying.
Since the age of 14 I have been to and from home in which I had a violent relationship with my mum and felt totally estranged from the family... She kicked me out on my 16th birthday and I have been living independently ever since; I started in 2 hostels, then a shared house and now a flat, I am living on benefits and am barely affording to survive as I have no help emotionally and financially. I completed school with 8 GCSE's, all A-C grade and also completed a Business Administration Apprenticeship, yet my mum and dad still see me as a 'failure'.
I come out of an awful 2 year relationship where I was cheated on, lied to constantly and which also sometimes resulted in fights, I also had a miscarriage at 15. I am still extremely close to my ex-boyfriends mum; she does everything for me and has always been there for me since day one, I look at her as a mother figure and would be devastated if I lost her, she is also like a best friend and I tell her everything...
Lately I cannot stop crying and I don't know why, all I have to do is drop something on the floor and I'm in floods of tears. I have no confidence, no motivation, I feel tired all the time and constantly am snapping at people for no reason.
Any ideas as to what's wrong with me ? :(
