Hi guys.. I'm 17 years old I keep thinking about this and it’s messing with my head. A lot of kids around me eat tons of sugar, junk food, snacks, everything… and they don’t seem to get diabetes or any sugar problems.

But I’ve been struggling with my blood sugar. Recently my readings have been very high like 360, 390, and 292, and I was even prediabetic a while ago. I also have PCOS, and now I feel like it might have turned into diabetes.

I just don’t understand why it’s affecting me and not them. Is it genetics? Hormones? Bad luck? Or did I do something wrong without realizing?

I’m not trying to compare in a toxic way, I just genuinely want to understand how this works because it feels really unfair and confusing.

I’ve been really depressed lately because of a breakup, my parents separating, and a lot going on at home. It’s been too much at once and I think I just shut down.

I’ve stopped taking care of myself properly. I haven’t washed my hair in maybe a week (it’s long and fully tangled now). I barely wash my face or do basic things anymore. I just feel gross and disconnected from myself.

I used to struggle with OCD and I was told by my therapist/psychiatrist to stop acting on the urges and compulsions. I tried to follow that, but I feel like it ended up turning into me just stopping everything instead of actually recovering. Like I went from “trying to manage OCD” to just not caring at all.

I keep looking at other girls and they just seem so beautiful and cute and put together, and I don’t understand what I’m doing with my life at this point.

I don’t really know how to get back into normal routines when everything feels heavy. I don’t feel like myself anymore and I don’t know where to start again. If anyone has gone through something like this, how did you slowly rebuild basic selfcare?

I hate my sh scars so much. I’m 17 and I can’t even wear t shirts outside without feeling disgusting. Every time I see other girls’ arms I just feel ruined compared to them. And getting waxed is humiliating too because I can’t go alone, and my mom always says she’s embarrassed to take me because of my scars. That part honestly hurts more than people staring sometimes.

What messes with my head the most is that I hate my arms so much but I still end up doing sh anyway. It makes no sense to me. I already feel ugly and ashamed because of the scars but my brain still goes back to it when things get bad.

I know some people have way more scars than me and I’m not trying to compare or make it about who has it worse. I just genuinely hate looking at myself and I don’t know how to stop feeling ashamed of my own body. Idk what to do at this point. How doni cover them up?

I’m 17 and going through a really overwhelming situation at home and I just need outside perspective.

My parents are separating for the second time and home has been very unstable emotionally. There’s a lot of stress and tension and it’s affecting me mentally.

My sister (27) was given a choice earlier about where she wanted to stay and she chose to stay at my dad’s place for her own reasons like work. Now I’m going with my mom to another place in the same city and this change has made things more tense between us.

On top of the family situation, I also have health issues that have been getting worse with stress. My blood sugar has been extremely high recently (around 397 and sometimes even higher), I’ve been dealing with high blood pressure, and I also get frequent migraines. Because of the high sugar readings, my family got worried about me.

But instead of support, my sister has been very dismissive. She has called me an “attention seeker” my family was genuinely concerned. And i think she didn't like that my parents were concerned about me. I was at a point where I was really unwell and it felt like it could have turned into an emergency if my parents hadn’t stepped in.

She has also been rude during arguments, has thrown things at me before, and doesn’t really apologize afterward

I feel like I’m stuck in a really confusing situation where I’m dealing with both health problems and family conflict at the same time, and I don’t really know how to process everything. I’m not trying to blame anyone, I just feel overwhelmed and lost.

I’d really appreciate advice or perspective from people who’ve dealt with family separation and health stress at the same time.

Hi, I’m 17 and my parents are separating and I honestly feel like I’m losing my mind over it.

Home has become really unstable and stressful and I don’t know how to deal with it emotionally. I feel overwhelmed all the time, like I can’t think properly, and I keep breaking down randomly.

My relationship with my sister has also become really difficult. She used to be the main person I could talk to, but recently she has been very rude and dismissive towards me. She has called me an “attention seeker,” and there have been situations where she has thrown things during arguments and refused to properly apologize. Sometimes she acts normal, and other times she is very cold or harsh, and it leaves me really confused and hurt.

Because of this, I feel like I don’t really have anyone at home I can talk to properly anymore without it turning into conflict or feeling invalidated.

I don’t really know what to do or how people are supposed to cope when something like this is happening in their family. I feel like I’m just trying to survive each day emotionally.

If anyone has been through something similar, how did you handle it?

I have been going through alot of stress recently with parents separation and all my blood pressure was super high and i checked my sugar it was about 397. Is that normal?

Hi guys, I’m 17 and I’ve been going through a really intense mental health situation recently and I’m trying to understand what’s happening to me.

My parents are separating, and home has felt really unstable and emotionally stressful. I’ve had repeated breakdowns, panic episodes, and moments where I feel completely overwhelmed and alone.

In the middle of this, I had a conflict with my sister on her birthday. I wasn’t in a stable mental state and I forgot to wish her on time because I was going through a lot emotionally. I did wish her a few hours later, but she said I was being an “attention seeker,” which really hurt me and made me feel even more isolated.

I’ve also been struggling with my mental health in general, including panic, emotional overwhelm, and sometimes self-harm urges. At times I feel completely empty or like I don’t matter.

Every day I wake up feeling really low and cry a lot and I don’t really know what to do. I feel like I can’t talk to anyone at home without being judged or misunderstood. I feel like if I try to explain my mental health I’ll just be called an attention seeker, so I end up keeping everything inside.

I do want to get help and I’ve tried reaching out to a therapist but didn’t get a response yet. I also tried helplines but couldn’t get through. I’m trying to get professional support because I don’t want to keep feeling like this alone.

Right now I just feel stuck and overwhelmed and I don’t know how people are supposed to cope when home doesn’t feel emotionally safe and I don’t really have someone to talk to properly.

I’m just looking for advice or perspective from people who might understand this kind of situation.

I need help

Hi guys im 17 and I’ve been going through a really intense mental health situation recently and I’m trying to understand what’s happening to me.

My parents are separating, and home has felt unstable and unsafe emotionally. I’ve had repeated breakdowns, panic episodes, and moments where I felt completely overwhelmed and alone.

In the middle of this, I had conflict with my sister on her birthday. I wasn’t in a stable state i had overdosed and I forgot to wish her on time. I did wish her 4 hours later, but she said I was being an “attention seeker,” which hurt a lot and made me feel even more isolated.

I’ve also been dealing with self-harm, panic, and episodes where I feel like I can’t control my emotions. At times I’ve felt completely empty or like I don’t matter.

Every day i wakeup and cry like idk what to do. I cant talk to anyone or else I'll be called an attention seeker. I need to go to my psychiatrist but then my sister gets mad that my parents are giving attention to me and then she calls me attention seeker. Recently she's been acting so rude towards me. Will throw stuff at me and won't even apologise and when i told my mom she said its fine she's going through her own stuff.

I want to just end it all and juat die but idk how what to do i have no one to talk to . I messaged my therapist if i could talk to her and she didn't reply. I tried calling sucide helpline but non picked up. Please tell me what do i do I'm going insane. I have severe headache and idk what to do i can't talk to anyone or I'll be called an attention seeker

Hi guys I'm 17. My parents are separating and my entire future keeps changing every few days. First my mom wanted to move to Bahria Karachi so I agreed because I could still stay near my dad and my life here. Then suddenly she wanted to move to Pindi to live near her mom. I completely broke down over it because my dad is 73 and I don’t want to leave him alone.

Now suddenly she’s talking about buying a house in Maymar instead. Every few days it’s a new plan and I feel like I can’t emotionally settle anywhere. I keep trying to adjust to one future and then it changes again.

I feel angry, heartbroken, abandoned, confused, all at once. My body literally feels sick from stress now. Headaches, nausea, feeling faint, everything.

I also feel like nobody understands how badly this is affecting me. Everyone around me seems stressed too and conversations keep turning into fights or guilt.

Honestly I just want stability. I want one clear decision. I’m exhausted from emotionally rebuilding my future every 2 days.

Idk what to do

I have already taken 6 tablets of bromazepam. And I'm thinking about talking around 70 avil (Pheniramine Maleate). Last year i took around 40 but nothing happened. And now I'm gonna take 70. Will it work ? Will i die or just end up in hospital?

My dad painted our house the brightest most aggressive blue known to humanity and I genuinely feel like I’m living inside a 7 year old boy’s toothpaste-themed bedroom 😭

I know this sounds dramatic but I HATE IT so much. Like actually angry looking at the walls. Fresh paint + empty room + bright lights = psychological warfare.. whatt do i dooo?

My dad is painting our whole house this ugly blue colour i hate it. How do i stop him? I'm pretty sure whatever i say he wont listen. It looks soo ugly i really hate it w h at do i do?

For the last 3 weeks I’ve had almost continuous migraines. They get really bad, like pounding pain, and I feel nauseous all the time. Lately I’ve been throwing up after I eat, especially when I’m stressed.

Today it got worse. I started feeling really weak, my heart was racing, and I even had a brief hallucination when I finally slept for a bit. I went to a doctor and got IV drips (one was magnesium), and meds for high blood pressure, but I still have a really bad migraine and feel awful.

My BP right now is around 137/77 and pulse about 105.

There’s also a lot of stress at home (my parents are separating), and I think it’s making everything worse.

I feel like my body is completely out of control. I don’t know if this is just severe sleep deprivation + stress or something more serious.

Has anyone experienced something like this? What actually helped? And at what point should I go back to the hospital?

I’m really not okay right now and would appreciate any advice.

Me and my mom went to stay with my cousin for a while because it was peaceful there. No shouting, no stress. I felt calm for once. Then I came back home and things were already tense, and slowly everything just got worse.

My mom told us about her past marriage when we old enough a while ago. somehow it got brought up in the family in a way it wasn’t supposed to.odc my dad told them. She felt exposed and hurt. My parents fought, and now it’s turned into something much bigger than I ever expected.

They sat us down and talked, but instead of fixing things, it just made everything more tense. Now my mom has decided she’s moving out after my exams.

And I’m stuck in the middle.

I don’t want to leave my dad.

I don’t want my mom to go.

I don’t want to choose between them.

And I’m scared I’ll lose the one place I felt okay. my cousin, my peace, everything that made me feel normal for a bit.

It feels like no matter what happens, I’m going to lose something.

And I don’t know how to deal with that.
