Feeling inadequate

Post Reply New Topic

Hello
I've been feeling extremely depressed lately. Medication isn't helping.
As much as I want to stop comparing myself to others, I can't help it, especially since I'm in a very competitive school. Everyone I know has it all: good grades, great at everything else, lots of friends etc. And me? I'm just the loner who's struggling with life.
The school is being a little ridiculous too. If they find out that I'm thinking of hurting/killing myself, they'll expel me. Those thoughts are extremely tempting. I need to hurt myself. :(
I'm trying survive. And there's only 2 weeks left of school. But I honestly feel so overwhelmed.

I'm sorry you're so depressed right now
Would the school really punish you if you told them how you feel?

Not sure what sort of school you are in that it ends in two weeks. Is that it, or is there another semester, etc?

Logically speaking, hurting yourself is not going to help anything. Have you considered getting help finding better solutions by seeing a counselor or therapist?

Not all forms of comparison are bad. There are for instance good or neutral role models. Things we admire and would like to emulate. But if you are evaluating yourself in comparison to NTs it is like comparing apples to oranges. You can achieve goals and gain what NTs do in the general sense, but we are models with a different set of assemby instructions. We get there by a different path and in a different time schedule.
