I feel as if I’m a disappointment to everyone . It seems like I let everyone down and can’t do anything right. I get so down on myself that I think that maybe it’s better that I never even existed. They wouldn’t have to worry about me anymore and everything would be easier

Passive agressive comments make me anxious.

About work, my son, my husband, finances and feeling sad and anxious all the time.

the pressure of fitting into the norm

I worry that I will never get better no matter how hard I try. I feel so alone and its the worst feeling in the world.

I’m worried you’ll leave me. You’ll give up on me. Im never good enough. I don’t deserve to be happy. I’m afraid to be alone.

I worry about having to live up to my parents expectations. ” Get 80%, 90%, and 100% in school, nothing less or else your grounded,” “Graduate and go straight to university,” “Become something great like a doctor,” “Be happy, even though we always yell at you for not being good enough,” “Eat healthy and be active,” “Do all your homework even though you have a social life and I make you do a million other things in the run of a day,” “Get enough sleep,” “Never get mad,” “Never yell back at us when we always yell at you,” “Make friends, but not those ones because I don’t like them,” And the list goes on! I’m only a teenager! I can’t be the perfect child like you want me to be!

My parents always yell at me

Everyday I feel worse about myself

That my daughters shyness will prevent her from getting the most out of life
