I'm actually really unhappy with life.......????

Question

even though I really don't have any big reason to be. I told my mom this, and she said, "You should be ashamed of yourself. You have everything you could ever want and more. Stop being a spoiled little brat." I just feel kind of alone, like no one understands me. I'm really unhappy.

Do you think I'm a spoiled little brat for feeling this way???

Answer 1

No Ashley,, There is a Thing Called Depression. If you feel alone try writing your thoughts Down. Write the Things that Make you Happy and the things that Make you Sad... Do more of the Happy Things keep yourself Busy and active. Try to Eliminate the Bad things and Thoughts that you may feel Inside. Remember Parents are Human too. Sometimes it could be Hard to talk to them, and for them to be able to Understand you. If you have a good Friend Try Interacting with them. Medication Could Help, But it also could be your enemy. It has a lot of Side effects which Isn't so good for you. If you feel you are a Manic Depression and you Want to Hurt yourself, Please seek help.. Good Look .

Answer 2

I have been there myself. I started feeling that way when I hit puberty and felt that way for such a long time it became habit. Then I found a really great counselor who helped me stop the downward cycle and taught me about positive and negative self talk. Plus we worked through some issued I had. I have also used anti-depressants which have helped even out my mood. My suggestion is take this seriously and go to your school and find a counselor. Catholic charities is where I went. It is a non-demonitational sliding scale counseling service. Also talk to your medical doctor about getting on an anti-depressent. You are not alone in the world. Lots of people suffer from depression. Don't keep it inside, get help. Your quality of life will improve if you do, I promise you that.

Answer 3

no. we all get slung out of the embracing arms of "happiness".

I dont think that there is really any person that has never felt the way you feel, or close to it. We all get caught up in trying too much at whatever we ty for and loose the thought that we need to take care of ourselves. You might need to be unhappy for a little while. What else are you going to compare times in the future with when you are having a blast? I dont think youre being a brat... Just a human be- ing

Answer 4

No, I don't think you're spoiled. I think it's a Spiritual problem. You can have everything in the world, and still feel like life is pointless, because you're not living the way God intended for you to live. I'm not sure what religion you believe in, but the truth is, we've all sinned and we all need God's forgiveness. Luckily for us He sent Jesus to die for our sins so if we give our lives to Him we can live in heaven some day. Once you become a Christian your life has meaning and purpose, and God will help you through. If you know of a church near by, go and talk with the pastor, you'll be so happy you did.

Answer 5

XO, XO, I bet your about 13-16 yrs old, right? Yea those teenage hormones can be a real pain in the caboose. And guess what, it's been going on for centuries. If ya don't believe me watch "Rebel Without a Cause", filmed in 1955 with james Dean and Natalie Wood as well as some other great actors. I am now a grandpa with grandkids getting into the phase of life. I know cause I did too. So Kid, "Don't Worry, Be Happy''!!!!!!!! And it will come sooner than ya think

Answer 6

Greetings to you dearest sister in humanity,

Honestly i know exactly where you're coming from. Personally i can have all the luxuries in the world and that can all worthless if i don't have a connection with my Creator. As a Muslim honestly it isn't until i started walking this roadmap that i actually started living. To briefly explain Islam, Islam is not a new religion, but the same truth that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith.

peace and best regards and from the soul of my heart wishing you the ultimate best in this journey of life.

Happiness is a choice! You can choose light over dark, a smile over a frown! You can do something for someone else or wait for them to do something for you. And yes you are alone but you can choose not to be lonely! Angels are with you always and the love of God is right here right now! Having everything is a blessing so use it for good! Many go without! Recognize that you are loved and have warm surroundings. Many do not! If you need to talk more contact me. Life is hard sometimes but you can smile your way through it and attract good things in your life! I always say if you are unhappy do something nice for someone else! Including your mom! God Bless

Answer 8

"Everything you could ever want and more" is your answer right there. Maybe you have everyTHING you could want, but life isn't about things, it's about people. There's a saying that goes something along the lines of "Whoever dies with the most toys wins," but people who live by that are...not the brightest. A much better phrase is "Whoever dies with the most toys is still dead."



In other words, it sounds like you're learning that stuff is unfulfilling. I recommend you get out of the house a bit more and meet new people.. hang out with friends... get a fun hobby... find something you enjoy and do it!



Make yourself a list of "things you've always wanted to do" and get out there and start doing them! If one of your goals is something you can't do right now (Ie. one of mine is take a trip to Japan), then do other things to start preparing to do it (ie. I have gotten a job and am saving for it). Make your life have meaning, not just stuff.



Carpe Diem ~ Seize the day!

Answer 9

No, I think you are a perfectly normal kid with hormones starting to rage. When your hormones start to kick in, honey, you don't really have a lot of control over your emotions. Now, don't get me wrong...you can control your ACTIONS. But you can't really make yourself FEEL different instantaneously. To see it from your mom's point of view, she and/or your dad have probably worked very hard to provide you with a good life, and it may hurt her feelings, like she thinks you don't appreciate what she's done for you. Over the next few years, you'll find your emotions very confusing! You may FEEL like you are alone, but you need to keep your head about you and just KNOW you're not. "Feeling alone" is just that--a feeling. Feelings aren't always reality! Please read the information linked below...I think you'll find that your condition is very normal. Good luck, sweetie! Happier days are ahead!

Answer 10

Nope! All of us, mom included, feel estranged from family, friends, and society. This is normal and healthy. Healty, because we are in constant change, especially treenagers, so they have a difficult time to deal with mixed emotions, a changing body, peers, parents, siblings, and responsibility. Relax, esteem yourself highly, and enjoy yourself.

Answer 11

No. i dont think so.

i know how you feel.

i never told my mom though i would probably get the same answer. but sometimes there are just those times where you feel like nobody understands. you feel down and depressed. im sorry. i usually get through it by ignoring it or going out with friends or something. "/

Answer 12

Nope, I think you are a normal person with normal feelings. This will pass. If it continues to get worse or effect your everyday life you should see a doctor. Even those of us with blessed lives feel completely misguided and alone sometimes.

Answer 13

How old are you? Why are you unhappy? Find something you enjoy or are passionate about and get involved. Stop playing poor little me and do something constructive or creative. Life is far too short to play the pity game get out and enjoy it.

Answer 14

No I'm like it aswell.



I'm spoilt and get a lot of things. But I don't have the best social life, I have friends but I don't see them out of school. It tends to upset me really cause I get lonely, which is why I don't really like life either. It just goes to show money isn't everything.

Answer 15

Not at all, i feel that way a lot too.

the best wayy to fix it is to try and do as much as possible with friends like going to the mall and the movies and stuff it always helps me (: ps. i wouldnt tell your parents when you feel that way whenever i do they give me the same things your mom told you ! it just makes you feel worse ):

Answer 16

What you probably should do is reach out to others instead of feeling sorry for yourself. Maybe THAT will make you feel better about yourself.

Answer 17

who are we to judge you and call you a sproil brat?

your life maybe different from ours...what may be expected for us maybe a privilege to others.



i can relate to how you're feeling though

Answer 18

Of course not!!! I'm sure everyone has gone through this at some point in our lives (especially when we're teens).

Answer 19

Life is what you make of it.

My Mum used to say to me "only boring people get bored".

Life's not always what it's cracked up to be, so it's your job to make yourself happy.

Answer 20

NO. I BELIEVE UNHAPINESS STEMS FROM BAD DECISIONS MADE BY PEOPLE CLOSE TO THEM LIKE FAMILY MEMBERS THEY'RE NEVER ACTUALLY NEVER TAUGHT ANYTHING GROWING UP,SO THEY MADE BAD CHOICES IN THEIR OWN LIFE.

Answer 21

No. Your Perficly fine i feel like that all the time

Answer 22

no definitely not, i'm going through something like this too - i'm unhappy for no reason

you're not alone, i don't understand why i'm unhappy either - sometimes i'm up, sometimes i'm down.

there're people out there who understand; i'm one of them!

:) keep fighting and we'll pull through!
