im rlly tired of life when my father scolds me randomly with vulgar and everything he says is called “standard” and everything I do is wrong.. then my mother isnt rlly being helpful either and teachers are chasing me for homework..I have homework overdue for weeks and I rlly cant find the energy or the motivation to do it..my eyesight isn’t getting any better and my parents are kind of mad at me for that.. honestly I really feel so tired I want to sleep and never wake up again..teachers see me as the naughty student who doesn’t care about anything..I guess they are right about me not caring anything cos even if I do homework or get good grades I will still get randomly scolded at home this is rlly so tiring how do I live like this

Dear @LonelyShadow06

Thank you for reaching out. I believe anyone going through what you shared would also feel exhausted and hopeless. Understandably you are also feeling overwhelmed as you are facing scolding at home, getting blamed for things beyond your control, and have incomplete and overdue schoolwork. Feeling overwhelmed may have immobilised you, and you don’t know where to start.

When you say “I want to sleep and never wake up again,” that tells me the pain feels unbearable right now. You matter, and you don’t have to face this alone.

May I recommend the following:

  1. put your safety as first priority
  • If you feel at risk of hurting yourself please call SOS at 1767 or Emergency service at 995 or go to A&E. All these operate 24/7.
  1. Calm your body

  • Breathe in 4 seconds, out 6 seconds, 5 times.

  • Put both feet on the floor and name 3 things you can see.

  • Say to yourself: “I’m exhausted, not broken.”

  1. Speak to an adult
  • Tell one safe adult (school counsellor/teacher/trusted relative):
    “I’m not coping at home and I’m overwhelmed. I need support.”
  1. Use the Pomodoro method to get started on homework

  • Set a timer for 25 minutes to work, then 5 minutes break.

  • If 25 feels too hard, start with 10 minutes.

  • Focus on one small task only.

  • Stop when the timer ends, even if it’s not finished. This helps when motivation is low because you’re only asking yourself to try for a short time.

You deserve safety, understanding, and rest. Please continue reaching out for support to get through this challenging period. You matter, and remember you are not alone. Do let us know if you safe right now.:yellow_heart:

I don’t trust the school counsellor or teachers because the school thought they were so smart they called my father to school even though I told them to not do that..I don’t trust anyone from my school anymore they got me into more trouble at home it’s rlly hard to answer the questions my father ask me relating to dying and all..teachers are still kinda mad at me..I also don’t want to **** anyone..why would i want to do that if I’m living a normal life? I really want to know how to live this life rn its so hard not that I’m being pessimistic but I really don’t see a way of living it anymore I’m too tired

Dear @LonelyShadow06

Thank you for letting us know. Is there anyone else you can talk to or reach out to for support?

Please do also consider calling the national mindline at 1771 to speak or chat online with a caring and competent counsellor should you need immediate support. Please do not go through this alone.

You mentioned you do not know how to live your life right now. My suggestion is to take it slow, but keep moving. Focus on things and areas of your life you can directly control. For example, slowly get back to completing schoolwork to gain momentum. Use the pomodoro method and study with friends if it helps. This may help you regain your self confidence. Keep reaching out here for support whenever needed too. Remember that you matter and your safety is the top priority. I believe you have the resilience and determination to get through this.:yellow_heart:
