me too :./ 17 here as well, and my parents yell at me all the time for being useless and hard to deal with lmao.. I don't think they understand the concept of mental illness because I'm just called lazy when I'm really trying :// plus I'm too afraid of social events and stuff so I can't put myself out there to make new friends and get a job :'' you're not alone <3
Same I'm 17 I have finals and I know I'll fail cause they're my last exams. And if I don't have my subjects I can't get a job. I have friends but I rather stay in my room and watch anime or some shit and nobody even cares to ask if I'm ok. I'm also the eldest child but I have already disappointed my parents with accomplishing nothing.
You can be doing nothing with your life and still have a purpose. You are still valid even though you feel like a disappointment. Coming from an old person, I feel like my purpose is to be alive. To experience reading comics from the comforts of my couch. To play video games. Since I'm older, I have other things that give me purpose. I'm sorry you feel like you're parents are disappointed in you. Has something happened to make you feel that way?
Sometimes I feel so ashamed because I’m 17 and still don’t have a life nor a job or even friends and I feel like my parents are disappointed in me because of that and now I think I’ve become mentally unwell I’m not even sure why I’m here or what my purpose is
