What do i do?
I'm 18 and a senior in high school. The last four years have been extremely difficult and this year has been the icing on the cake. I have depression, I've cut myself, tried suicide, all that stuff. It's been hard. I know there are people out there who have it worse than me but it still sucks. My senior year so far has been terrible both physically and emotionally. But a part of that has been from my friends. Or my "friends" since currently I'm truly confused. I don't have a lot of close friends but the ones i do have sometimes make me want to jump off a cliff. Not literally. I'm not trying to say I'm an angel or anything but I've tried to be there for them and do whatever I could for them. And it just seems I'm not getting anything back. Last week I got really sick and missed the whole week of school. My friends didn't bother to check on me and when i told them i was in the ER, all i got was an, "Oh." I was pretty hurt but the next Monday when I went to school, I got absolutely no response either. They barely looked at me. I later texted them to see what was up and they said nothing, everything was fine. I asked one of them why she hadn't talked to me all week and she said she had been busy with school. Then i asked her why she hadn't talked to me that day in class and she said she was talking to other people and i was reading. When in fact, the person she was talking to had turned around and started talking to me. Yet my friend decided not to acknowledge my existence. My other friend had told me she tried to contact me and that i seemed as though i hadn't cared so she decided to leave me alone. If that were at all true, I would have been fine with it. But all she said when she "cared" was "oh" and that two letter word really doesn't seem like much when you feel like you're dying. She also said that she knew i would get better. Then i told her how i had literally almost died after a very emotional situation. I had cut myself eight times and fell asleep at the wheel driving home. When she heard this, she told me cutting was just for attention. And she said it was bullsh*t and that i needed to stop. I told her how hard it was. She's seen the state i get in. And she asked me what i wanted her to tell me. I told her, she didnt need to say anything. I just wanted my friends to care about me. I'm sorry that that's such a bad thing. And that was the end of the conversation. Now i'm sitting here, trying to figure out, is it worth it for these friends? What do I do?
