I am a senior in high school, and I have finished all of my college/scholarship applications and I still feel like I have this massive weight on my shoulders. I feel empty most of the time, and other times I am sad or angry. I feel lost from a lack of friends. I feel betrayed by my sister, who as a freshman, got asked to senior prom by an ex boyfriend of mine, which was a really bad breakup as he cheated on me with my best friend, and she said yes. She keeps going on and on about how excited she is and how he is such an amazing guy. I have MEPS for military screening this week, so I am going to have to miss school. I feel like I can't talk to anyone about it, because every time I try they just tell me to keep in mind that others have problems too. I get that other people have full plates too, I just want someone to sit down and listen for once. I feel like I have been cracking for months and now there are just too many cracks and I'm broken.
Overwhelmed

Hey 
First of all that ex sounds disgusting. I can't imagine going to prom with an ex's freshman younger sibling in high school that's just creepy. I'm sorry that your sister doesn't see that...for both of your sakes actually, but that is kinda a shitty thing for a sister to do no matter how badly she wants to go :/
Idk about the outside world but there are people here to listen generally...have you mentioned potentially being depressed to anyone you can trust? Sometimes people only see part of the picture and more makes them more understanding. No guarantee ofc.
The one thing is though that you are a senior. You'll get a mostly-fresh start, where everyone will be looking to make friends and you don't have to deal with the people you leave behind. College is so much bigger than high school...unless you go to a small liberal arts college than it's the same I guess but whatever, it's a change. You can have a real future. That might not affect how you feel now, but switching environments come fall might help.

Hi Rya,
it sounds like you have to deal with a lot of shitty situations right now. Therefore, I'm really glad that you found your way to us.
In December I felt a lot of the things you mentioned and there are still days that I struggle. I felt empty, hollow and as if I could crack at any moment. I couldn't really connect to my own feelings or recognize them. It was like I was buried under an avalanche and I couldn't figure out how to get out of it.
This forum really helped me to deal with the stuff that was pulling me down. I could talk freely about everything and the people just understood what I meant because they could relate.
I hope you find the same help and friendship here as me and that I get to read a lot of you.
Lot's of hugs
