(sorry for bad grammar ahead) i just feel so overwhelmed, all my grades are suddenly dropping although i am trying my best to keep up with school work. i have no friends in school and no friends outside. i feel so sad, numb, miserable and hopeless all the time. no matter what i do, i talk to the school counselor, i try to exercise, i try to make a routine, try to find hobbies, try to make friends, try to talk to more people around me, i try everything just so i wont feel so miserable. no matter what i do, the weight on my shoulders never get lifted. i just feel so hopeless, no matter what i do i still feel miserable and overwhelmed. ive been trying so hard, and yet nothing changes. i just want to give up, because it seems like even if im trying, my effort to feel better doesnt work. i have no more hope anymore, just seems like living the same mundane life everyday until i kill myself. i just want the misery to end, why is it so hard? i thought that if i tried, i would feel better, but nothing even works. im reaching out here as a cry for help because this is my last hope.
Have u seen the school counselor. We will usually expect that the effort taken to get better is less than the real anount needed. Concentrate on the little improvements u had no matter how small they r. Refer to them in ur phone when needed. I can be ur fren if u r not underage
Hi @user2948,
I’m hearing how deeply exhausted and defeated you feel - like you’ve poured everything into trying to feel better, only to be met with more pain and isolation. It sounds like you’ve been fighting so hard to stay afloat, and the fact that nothing seems to ease the weight makes it feel unbearable. Reaching out like this takes immense courage, especially when you feel like you’re at the end of your rope. I want you to know that your pain matters, and you don’t have to carry it alone.
I also understand that you are currently seeing the school counsellor, which is already a good first step. You may wish to let her know about the emotional struggles that you are experiencing, so that she can know how to better support you. In addition, here are some other resources you may want to consider. These community mental health services are provided free-of-charge:
Youth Community Outreach Team (CREST-Youth): Promotes early detection of mental health needs in youths and offers emotional support for those in distress.
Youth Integrated Team (YIT): Provides mental health assessment, therapy, and case management for youths with mild mental health conditions.
You may reach out to CREST-Youth or YIT through this link: mindline.sg | Free Mental Health Resources & Mindfulness Tools in Singapore
For immediate mental health support, you may contact the National Mindline at 1771 (Call) or +65 6669 1771 (WhatsApp).

Hey @user2948, I just want to say I really hear you. Reading your words, I can feel how heavy everything has been for you, and how much effort you’ve been putting in to try and feel better. That’s such a tiring fight, and I am so sorry it still feels like you’re stuck under that weight.
It’s okay to admit you’re exhausted. You’ve been doing so much, and it’s not fair that it still feels like nothing’s changing. I just want you to know that you’re not invisible here. Even if it feels like the world has turned its back, you’re being seen and heard in this moment with us here.
I am not going to pretend I can fix it for you, but I care that you’re here, and I want you to stay.
You don’t have to figure everything out immediately. We can just focus on getting through this moment together <3 
I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way, but I’m glad you reached out. It sounds like you’re carrying an incredibly heavy burden right now, and it’s understandable to feel like nothing is working when you’re doing everything you can but still feel stuck. Even though it might seem like things are never going to get better, reaching out for help is a big step. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, but that doesn’t mean things can’t improve—even if it’s hard to see that right now.
Have you been able to talk to someone you trust outside of school, maybe a family member or a close friend, even if you feel like you don’t have any close ones right now? Sometimes talking to someone who is there to listen, and not judge, can help ease some of the pressure you’re feeling. It’s also okay to take breaks and not push yourself to constantly be productive or improve right away—you’re doing your best, and that’s enough.
If you’re feeling like things are really hard to cope with on your own, it could help to revisit speaking to your counselor or a mental health professional, but I know that can feel exhausting, too. You don’t have to be alone in this. If it helps, I’m happy to talk more and keep you company while you process this. You’re important, and you’re not alone in how you’re feeling, even if it seems that way right now.
