The bad part of my mind has just taken over. I am just feeling worthless and useless right now. I feel like nothing matters anymore and I don't matter to anyone. I feel that no one will ever like me or care for me or want me. I will die alone. I will not be of any value to anyone. Why does this happen to me? Why am I feeling this way? What do I do? I'll take anything, someone to talk to, happy pictures, funny shit, something to lighten the mood right now.

I know it probably doesn't help at all, but lately every car project I've touched has ended up broken(although only one was my fault and was my own car thankfully). When we bent the valve in my friends Datsun while tuning last weekend I literally got out of the car and couldn't stop laughing. I just kinda hit that wall of not being able to care because yet another thing had gone wrong. Moral of the story though, sometimes you just gotta realize that there's always something next and just about everything is fixable.

It does help actually. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but it seems to be burning out for now. The shit is just never ending for me.

I had that earlier today with a math test I failed since I couldn't study for. I got it and just laughed. I couldn't stop. I had no clue what to do, I tried a problem and just slammed my calculator down on the desk. My teacher pulled me aside and did kind of feel bad for me but still made me take the test, which pissed me off.

Just this whole month has been awful for me.

last time I felt down when the world was crushing me, i went over to my grandpas house to just talk and hang out. My troubles came up and he listened respectufully. Then he compared notes. He was telling me that at one point they owned a kind of beat up Chevy Nomad..... which he, my grandma, my dad, and 3 aunts lived in for 4 months while he worked 14 hours a day. The car was parked at various city parks in south Chicago. This was a year after they came to the US from Mexico. Boy did i feel like a dummy whining about my stuff that very quickly seemed awesome by comparisson. He told me not to compare. The stress is equal, only the times and aituations has changed. All it needs is little time. You know we are here for you buddy. Chin up kiddo. YOu are important here on OPPO. Cheer up soon :]

I failed University Physics II last semester, by 1.1%. Guess who has to get up at 6:30 every Tuesday and Thursday over this summer to drive an hour and a half one way just to take one freaking summer class? And I've doomed myself to another semester of putting up with the hell that is MasteringPhysics.com.

But I digress... It's definitely hard to take a step back sometimes, but one thing I do is set aside at least a little bit of time to do something that is just for me, and that can't really get fucked up. Not a project that could have issues, not something relying on other people, nothing that can go wrong. Personally I'll read a bit, or watch a movie I've been meaning to watch, or research something I've always found interesting but never quite known how it works. I find it's a good way to clear my mind and there's no way it can really go wrong.

I have felt that way before and I still do. Bad parenting messed me up. It sucks being a kid and not realizing how crappy your upbringing was until you get older.

But, I'll tell you this. It gets better. To someone, somewhere, at some point, you matter. I promise. I never thought anyone could give a crap about me because I didn't and still don't really like myself. But have a lovely wife who loves me for me and knows how crazy I am and doesn't care. If I can find that, anyone can.

Not sure if you're religious, so please don't get offended if you aren't. But I will be praying for you. I hope you feel better soon.

I always thought that I could digress with writing; it used to be relaxing. But now when I lok back and read what I created, I see that its really rather dark and sad and depressing. I don't know if thats good or bad.

Lately I have found just laying in my room with the lights off listening to music is rather soothing. No one bothers me. I am at peace. Its been helping me a lot.

And that sucks for you. My english teacher gave me a zero on a big homework project the other day because I messed up the heading on the paper. A damn zero because I mixed up the order of the date and the class period! Im in high school! Why so damn precise!?

MasteringPhysics is terrible. I have to Google half of the problems because I can't understand what they are asking. :/

I've been thinking about getting a project car, like a Miata that doesn't run, for that same reason. I find joy with trying to fix problems, so it's ok for me.

Speaking of precise, I'm taking a technical writing class(essentially how to write manuals for hardware/software you create) and engineering ethics. I'm going to end up ripping my hair out through those.

last time I felt really down, I got away from it all. If you have money, go on a day trip somewhere, go camping (that's what I did), or just get away from civilization. One time, when I got back from Iraq, I drove to some small-town hotel a few hours away and just hung out. I sat outside on the patio and people watched.

The key thing is to take some time and just get away from everything. A change of pace, new scenery, it all helps so much.

When my wife and I had money issues, we'd scrounge up some change and go to mcdonalds and have a dollar menu date. Nothing fancy (obviously), just $1 sandwiches and a drink to share. Those are still some of our best memories.

Disconnect for a day (figuratively) and do something spontaneous. When you're done and ready to come back, you'll know.

And Im sure there is someone, but I want to meet them now. I want to have the joy these couples experience. I want happiness.

And thanks for that. I do appreciate it

Man you put a 911 targa in there! That and the F type coupe are my two dream cars now. And that Vue is very funny!

It just seems that things are just getting worse and worse. Victoria and I are stalling and we are struggling to talk much now; which kills me. I have all these tests and finals and dumb teachers pissing me off left and right. I have parents mad at me for having a C in English (but im mad too; its just I cant fix it right now) so I just have a lot going on

One of the worst things you can do when you're down is to dwell too much on them. Yeah, some days are gonna suck. That's just the cost of living. I moved a couple hundred miles away from my friends and family two years ago to get out on my own and do the whole "I'm hot shit so get out of my way because i'm such a fucking BOSS and I know what I'm doing!" thing where I'm all independent and stuff. Well that didn't work out 100%. I lost a lot of money to school fees and every time I tried to save money to get back on track or get into a steady relationship or improve my Audi it just fell apart in my hands. I felt like shit for most of April and May once my Audi finally died for unknown reasons. I stopped then and there and made a plan for the next year to get myself out of this mess financially. It sounds weird but it gave me one thing to work towards and center my own reconstruction around. I budgeted better, changed my spending habits, and paid off my debts as fast as I could and used some of my savings to do so. I bought an old jetta and wrenched on that to improve my mood. It still kinda sucked but seeing progress cheered me up immensely. Everything from watching my jetta project car come together to watching my debts go down brought me back from the dark. Earlier this month, I finally achieved the goal I set last year, and now I'm driving a Fiesta ST. I'm still saving money and living on my own, but I also have the car I've always wanted - a kickass hot hatch in my name, and mine alone. I didn't overspend to get it and I don't have to worry about money. It feels a million times better than just one year ago.

It doesn't have to be anything as big as what I did, you're still in high school after all so I hope your goal isn't "Own a brand new car by next year". But try and focus on making your life better in one way. Even if you stumble and trip here and there, look back on waht you did *right* and realize that if you didn't have that goal you set for yourself, you might not be making any progress at all. The small victories win the war.

I was so close to putting an F-Type in the mix!

I completely understand man. My girlfriend of two and a half years and I are starting to grow distant and it sucks. But that's just how it's meant to be.

I start finals next week and am not stressing as much as I probably should be, when really I need to be working towards getting my shitty grades up. I've just got an extreme case of senior-itis during sophomore year and that's not a good thing. I've lost all motivation to do anything and it's been like that since after winter break.

I guess I'm lucky to have parents who think my grades are my problem, not theirs.

I will say this: As someone who suffered from depression for most of middle school and some of high school, I can tell you it does get better. Just give it time. Time heals all wounds.

Thats a really good point you bring up. And I need to just set a goal and go for it. I think I have one in mind now, but I dont think that it actually is for me.

I want to lose 50 pounds over the summer. Thats about 3 months. I think I can do it. But I dont think it really is for me now that I think about it. So I dont know what to do.

Im glad im not alone suffering senior-itis as a sophomore! I stopped caring right around spring break when I realized that what im learning doesnt really matter.

It sucks because I havent felt like this before. Ive never been this upset and down in the dumps. Its a new feeling for me and I hate it.

Here's a better one - Lose 25 pounds in three months, but then keep that 25 off for the three months after that. Set mini-goals like reducing fatty food content or perhaps changing *when* you eat them. Example - you only eat pizza on days you've done strenuous exercise. Or maybe you try and push yourself to try different exercises like by the end of summer you want to be a regular at a.....martial arts class or something. That was how I got those "little victories". I made sure I set goals like "By the end of the month I need to be depositing into both a long term savings and short term emergency fund" then it became "By the end of the month I need to put at least 50$ into each fund per weekly paycheck" so try something like that. Pick a point kinda far away from your house and say "By the end of the month I need to be able to jog/walk to that point and back home" then maybe next month say "By the end of the month I need to be able to jog/walk to that point and back in under XX minutes". The whole time looking at you big picture goal of "I want to lose 25 pounds over the summer and keep them off as the school year goes on"

Thats a really good idea. I think I may go to a new city; down to Punta Gorda (about 30 minute drive) over the weekend and get away from the hell Ive had lately.

Thats why Ive been locked up in my room a lot lately. Its my safe haven.

Let me guess, you think what you're learning is boring as fuck and just don't care enough to do the work, even though it's really important. Then you try to rationalize with yourself that it's only a small percentage of your grade compared to the tests you usually do well on? That's part of why I'm going to tech school part time next year, I'll have a reason to want to go to school because I'm learning something I enjoy.

Yeah, that sounds about right. You get upset and annoyed at even the littlest things that shouldn't bother you. Sometimes you just feel like laying in bed all day and saying fuck it to everything. Or you just sit in the same spot all day on your computer because you just don't feel like doing anything else. I've been there, I'm still there partially. It really sucks, because nothing you do improves your mood. The only thing that does it for me now is going for a drive, and I can't even do that because my car's broken.

you I completely understand this month has been shit for me I've been so focused on studying for my ap tests that all my grades have dropped massively, I failed my last math test, I missed prom, I didn't get to go to cif since I'd been studying so much that I couldn't qualify during prelims I was so out of shape and because my parents took away my keys since I have a c (bullshit math test I failed) I can't g out and drive the thing that will always put a smile on my face. You need someone to talk to who really understands I'm right here for you...

it's easy to get swallowed in your problems. But if you go somewhere else and get away from the day-to-day, your brain is so busy making sense of your surroundings, getting your bearings, and enjoying new sights, you relax. It worked for me, hell it still works great. It's a big step though to get away from it all.

Shoot man, I was going to come by and tell you that you matter to us, but I got here too late and a bunch of people did it for me!

But seriously, you do. I'm not really an expert in helping people overcome this sort of feeling. I get it about once a year, for about three months. Have for a few or several years. Sometimes it's depression because I have no idea how to pay rent, sometimes it's that I think my wife doesn't love me (even though she really does), sometimes it's that I just want a damn slurpee, but I can't afford it because I don't feel financially responsible.

So uh... all that to say... I dunno, misery loves company? Sometimes you just gotta give the world the finger, take a day to intentionally do something fun or relaxing, and don't think about all that real stuff that's dragging you down. Then tackle tiny pieces of it as soon as you get up the next morning. Make a list of things you expect from yourself that day, check them off. Maybe go easy on yourself until you get the hang of it.

- A person who should likely not be giving advice to anyone, due to having similar feelings.

Edit: OH, and one other thing. What you've described is not the end of your life. I know people that have messed up way bigger and come out of it smiling. They didn't go into it smiling.

You sound very similar to my mess. May has been all finals and end of course assessments. I focus on these and dont do homework so my grades drop. I have a C in english now because on a big homework/test I got a zero because I fucked up the heading by mixing the order of the date and the class period!

I failed a math test today, I just laughed when I saw it and had no clue what to do.

Luckily I still have my car, but whenever I want to go out and drive, my parents just question me or think Im up to something, so it gets annoying.

And then all the issues with Victoria now, grr it just makes me mad

Exactly. Im learning how to find sources and bias in works of journalism for English right now. I have to write a 6 page report on it by the end of the year. Why? I wish I knew. It adds no value to my life!

And I do. I took a personal day Friday where I just layed in bed and watched TV. I did nothing else. And it helped a lot. Id love to go out driving, but whenever I do my parents think Im up to no good and question me. They dont understand. And I get the concern, but it gets hard

I'm 47 and still feel that way sometimes. But I can't lie in bed because I have a wife and three kids who have to go to school. But we get older, we get wiser, we understand that times and moods change, and we soldier on with life. We take the good with the bad, and we move on.

I hate common core learning. There's a reason we're called "Individuals" and it's because we don't have much in common. Something that one person enjoys might not be something that another person enjoys. How does me writing a paper over a book I'm being forced to read enhance my learning experience?

My parents question it too. They don't understand it's a form of therapy. To me just going out and driving with no destination calms me down. Gives me time to think. Roll down the windows, turn the radio off, and just get lost in the sound of mechanical chatter from the engine and the sounds of my own thoughts. Sometimes if the road I'm on is straight and has no lights, I'll just slow down and turn my lights completely off and get lost in the darkness for a few seconds.

If I were you, I'd just take my car out Saturday night. Say you're going to a friend's house or something. Then just drive until you're calm. You don't have to drive like a mad man, just drive where there's generally no one else around.

Common core is BS and I doubt it'll work for much longer. it is just so flawed. I personally am a hands on leaner who works alone. Group work doesn't work. I need to see examples done to understand things. i don learn from reading a textbook. But other kids, like my friend, prefer only group work and can pick up a textbook and understand everything.

And I love when I work nights and am closing. We have t be out by ten, so Im usually home by 10:15. I love when I get out early like 9:40. I usually just drive around then until 10:15 and relax.

I do the same thing. I turn off the AC and just roll the window down and think. It is just so peaceful and just makes problems disappear. I snuck out today to go look at a 1967 Volvo 122S for sale

i want this car. I want something I can baby and care for and spend my time with. But my parents do not get that. They dont understand it at all.

I wish I could get a car that would require me to actually take care of it. Right now my car is just a form of transport to me, the only real connection I have to it is from growing up in the damn thing. I want a car that I have to get to know. Learn all it's quirks and oddities. Something I actually might have to repair at some point or another. I want an old BMW or Audi or something I know is going to break, so I have the ability to learn and have pride in knowing it's on the road because I took care of whatever was wrong with it. My current car just doesn't do that for me, and my parents don't understand why I'd want something unreliable and known to break. Not a lot of people would but I know why I do and that's that.

im the same way man. Driving the '13 Civic doesnt provide me with much pleasure. it works. It gets me from point a to to point b. It should never really go wrong. I have a full warranty in case it does happen. But I will never tinker with it. I will never love or hate this car.

I want an older second car, like this Volvo that I can make mine. I want to get my hands dirty and mess with things.

My parents hate me for wanting something old and unreliable when I have a perfectly good new car. And I know. Thats my point, but they dont get it.

That old Volvo is gorgeous you should get it. Tell them its a valuable life skill talk about how if you fix it up you could sell it for a profit (like that ever happens), offer them a deal like ill buy the whole car myself if you're willing to pay the insurance, keep droning on and on about it til they give in. That's what I did and how I ended up with my baby.

My parents just happen to choose what seem to be the three most reliable GM cars in existence. All out of warranty and not a single major issue on any of them. I just need a car that I can tinker and fix. Not one that (almost) constantly works well.

Theres a reason people claim Alfa Romeos have a soul, and it's because it's a car that you grow an attatchment to because of all the good and (mostly) bad experiences you have with it.

Thats my big plan now is to sell them on it. It would teach great skills to me and is valuable. I almost have the money, would need to borrow a few hundrdd from grandma but since im working I could pay it back in a few weeks.

I love it since its so unique. How many 60s Volvos do you see? How many people think of a Volvo whwn they think of a 60s classic?

How many 16 yesr olds own something like this?

And thats awesome you have a Porsche! Some kid at my school had one, but his dad gave it to him and he wrapped it around a tree drinking and driving. Felt awful for the car but laughed at him for being so dumb.

Sitting back and relaxing is something I'm still learning how to do, but at the end of the day no matter how negative my bank account is or how many projects are overdue, if I don't do that I have no chance of recovering.

I've definitely had those days, weeks, and I've even had months that were like that. Hell i'm having one of those weeks right now, and having insomnia isn't making it any better. College and highschool is a horrible thing. They make you work your ass off. The notes, the tests, all of the shit that you have to do to make sure you understand the class and topic at hand. And all of that x6. On top of that if you have other commitments like sports.... But hey look at it this way, you have the first 20 years of your life to work hard. If you work hard the first 20-25 years, keep your grades up, and make sure you do everything you can to succeed in school, you should be pretty successful in life. After those first two or three decades or so, you just show upto work, go through the motions, and drive off in your ferrari at the end of the day. Just remember, no matter how much shit you have to do in school, make sure that at the end of the week, or end of the month, you have some time set aside for yourself. Like my friend said, 'whether you like to drive fast, watch a movie, hang out with friends, or even jack off, make sure you do something to relieve the stress. Heres a football video that's personal to me. Very motivational.

Listen to some kendrick lamar. I find his music to be very distracting when I need it to be.

If it makes you feel better, my English teacher SLAUGHTERED my grade on an assignment, since I went THIRTY FUCKING SECONDS over the 12 minute presentation limit. 52/100 "Does not pay attention to time" my 92 in English is now a 78, and with just the final left, I'm fucked

Oh damn! That would've made me flip.

I hate when they also leave wise ass remarks like that on the paper, she wrote on mine "Didn't follow header instructions I SPECIFICALLY explained during class.

I know exactly how you feel. I cant get a C. It would get me in a lot of hot water. I have a 76 in there now and only a few assignments left!

You know, as most of the people here have already done. Im trying to make you feel better by saying things you are probably are sick of. But Ill do it anyway. Whatever that happened, whatever that occurred, or whatever that might not get to be done. There is always a reason. There is always a why things went that way, and in the future you will notice them. You will look back, and you will know the why of everything. Keep your head up man, because although it may seem like you are alone: More people than fingers in your hands have relied and tried to make it better. All those people, including myself, are patting your back and thrusting you forward as fervently as the V-TEC from your Civic!

welcome to every day of my life "oh, you got this minute detail wrong, time to die!"
Funny story, actually. She told a friend of mine that she quote :"does not believe in perfection, and that the reason why he got a 99/100 is because more than that is impossible"

This teacher has only given ONE 100% in the past 7 years, a fact she announced to the whole class when she gave a friend of mine his essay back, saying "do you know how frustrating it is to grade a paper, and find absolutely nothing wrong with it?"

Same here. But Ive had an odd year in there.

it started with one teacher who was pregnant. So in October, she left when she had the kid.

So we got this permanent sub who I hate. She is 87 years old, is rude, nasty, and doesnt care. She calls us dumb and blames are past teachers for being useless. She tells us "I cant explain it any better! Just do the work; its the only way to learn" Which it isnt since you SHOWING US A DAMN problem would work too.

So, about a month ago, she had a trip to Israel so we got another sub for her for two weeks. But, during that two weeks, she was gone for 4 days, so we had another sub.

We had a sub for a sub for a sub for our teacher so learning things was not easy at all.

But these damn inverse and joint functions and logs and graphing and so much other confusing stuff just gives me a headache.

I'm sorry... Have you tried khan academy? it helps me out a bit

And that's similar what happened to me! My teacher had a stroke (she's still alive) so she was forced to resign. we got a long term sub, but he moved to Hawaii, so we got a sub for him ,and she is now getting hired full time!

So sub of sub is now the teacher!

Even more ironic: the old lady sub actually had a stroke last year in the middle of class. She retired. But she came out of retirement this year just to teach us!

Just curious, how old are you?

Yeah it happens to me to, I have a family history of depression, so that may be it.

Talk to someone about it, that the best you can do right now.

Hey bud. 16 isn't too young to feel depressed. It runs in my family like heart disease and other illnesses. I felt super down a lot, starting just after puberty, which makes sense because that's when hormones are surging and affecting the chemicals in your brain that control mood. I didn't get diagnosed until my early 30's (I'm 53 now) and boy do I wish I had talked to a doctor before then. Maybe you're not clinically depressed, in which case that's great, you're just having a down moment (that feels like it's stretching out for a while). But if you are, there are options that can make life less of a damn struggle. "Just chill out" and "count your blessings" and all that are fine for folks who just need an attitude adjustment. But if your bod and brain are out of whack and you just keep sinking deeper into the muck, all the gratitude in the world isn't gonna pull you out, and you don't need to feel guilty about it.
