Okay so i am a very pessimistic person everything I look at reminds me of death. If I look at a rainbow I think about how happy people are who look at it and then I think about the rainbow disappearing and never coming back. I have no self confidence and wish that I was never born I was severely abused from age 10-14 and I have never since been happy. I often put a fake smile on. When I ask my mum to get me a physiatrist appt she says there is nothing wrong with me. I am 16 years old I can't do anything without consent. I can't go get an appt without her. I know there is something wrong but nobody will listen.

    Go talk to your school counselor or teacher they will listen to you and that's all it takes to feel better I've learned. Trust me you sound like me when I was your age. There's always someone who is willing to listen and help you but it isn't often that someone takes the opportunity at your age.

    It's normal to be pessimistic but that's not your situation.

    My advice: Go around mom. Surely the laws allow you to see a counselor via the permission of school?

    If nothing else talk to an adult you trust and try to get them to help you.

    No offence but when I first read the title I thought: I would never want to be around you.

    Then I read the story. I can honestly see why you're like that now. I'm really sorry that you went through that terrible phase.

    I am an optimistic person and it drives me insane when people only/always see the negative side to every single thing. IMO it just shows that you're a person that can/will never be truly happy. I find it overwhelmingly depressing and I probably wouldn't like you in real life if I didn't understand your past.

    (I know its HARD) but you need to let some of that go if possible...you're only making yourself more miserable by the day. You really need to seek help if you feel thats whats best...talk to the school like Valkeer said. Don't just stop at your mom. Thats the pessimistic side thats stopping you - you're giving up as you feel theres no use.

    I honestly hope everything works out for you :)

    Normal for being a teenager, but you should go see a doctor, just to put your mind at ease.

    You can still see a doctor without your parents being there at 16 years old.

    BTW: this site has an 18+ age limit, so you're too young to be posting here.

    It's normal. The world is a horrible place and the economy will probably never recover.

    I was really messed up in the head from 13 through all my teen years. Try to be positive and be responsible and wise about your choice in influence that involves all of your choices such as people you talk to, music, food everything. That's my advice to you.
