    I don't no what to do anymore
    I don't know what to do anymore. I just feel so boggled in my head. Lately everyday I want to cry or just be by myself. I think about death all the time. I am completely stressed about bills and how to pay them. About school. I feel like Im the dumbest person I class. I don't even know how Im going to pay for school. My mother drives me crazy constantly. I work almost everyday of the week and don't make any money.. and so much more... A lot of times I wish I would die but I know I cant... I would never try to kill myself cuase I Know it's a drastic sin. Its getting to the point where Im just give up on everything. I feel like I'm losing my mind and that I'm going to do something that's going to upset my situatation even more. Can someone please help me?

    It's time to slow down - mentally... It sounds like you're overwhelmed with all you have going on... Sometimes feeling better about ourself naturally happens when we learn to balance our everyday tasks and troubles.
    Take some time to think your problems through.
    Try making a list of everything that's bothering you, then try to come up with positive solutions on how to make yourself feel better about the situations.
    Changing negative thinking patterns (death and being the dumbest person in class) into positive ones is hard to do, but just think... if you were truly the dumbest person in class, you probably wouldn't be in school at all.
    I'm sure working almost everyday brings you some kind of paycheck, see if you can come up with a budget so you can pay your bills.
    Mothers usually do drive their children crazy at one point or another - grin and nod...
    Simple changes can really make a huge difference and your thoughts of death may disappear all together.
    I hope you get to feeling better soon.

    I know a lot of people who have been in the same position that you are in, including myself.
    Sorry that you have to feel this low. It really isn't nice.
    Do you not have anyone you can talk to? Its always best to get it off your chest & vent a little. I would suggest a pshycologist, but I am not sure if you can afford it.
    It sounds like you could also do with medication.
    Kae is right in saying that you have to change your way of thinking. It is difficult, but you must really put effort into trying to think happier & more positive things about yourself & your life.
    Good luck & chin up!
    Good things...

    Trust me when I say I've been in your shoes. With school life and a emanding mother who saw no good in me. You're having conflict because you see yourself differently that she does. As for being the dumbest one in class it could be an anxiety reaction to the work which is normal for some people.
    First off, take a moment to catch your breath. Your head feels jumbled because you're overwhelmed. Your brain is on overload. And very depressed. The crying and isolation are the tell tale signs.
    Secondly, talk to your school advisor and explain your situtaion and see if you can take a hiatis for one semester. This way you can give yourself a well needed break and be able too look for a better paying job and clear your head.
    Thirdly, and most importantly, you need to see a therapist. I don't if anyone told that thinking od suicide is normal but it isn't. You are in so much pain, you feel it's your only way to handle your chaotic life. But what everyone forgets is if you succeed, its permanent, there's no coming back. Aside from thinking it's a sin, your pain will override that thiniking. Find a therapist whom you feel comfortable with. Tlak therapy does work. Also see your family doctor and talk to him. He not only can recommend a therapist and he can prescribe medication for you. I know some people (tom cruise) don't think that they work or are unnesscary but everyone is different. Don't listen to thepeople around you who say all you need is a break. The fact you're thinging of suicide means to me you need more than a break. You need help.

    If you feel so overwhelmed that you are consumed about thinking of ending your life then call 911 and say you need help becauase you're thinking about taking your life.

    You'll be fine with the right help. And I wish you well.
