Get therapy. You need to speak to someone. I’ve felt the same way when I was 14. 4 years later still dealing with it because I never spoke to anyone.
If your problem is depression or something equally serious you need professional help. Look up the info on your condition. A rough guideline is any mental/emotional trouble that lasts for several weeks or months is cause for concern. Explain to your family that what you’re feeling isn’t getting better on its own. You’re feeling bad enough to bring this up here, to strangers? It’s a real problem then. Talk to your parents but make it clear you can’t just wait it out or fix it alone. Good luck!
If you feel bored and don’t know what to do masturbate it helps take the stress of right away and it feels great
If you don’t feel comfortable talking to your parents, maybe you have an aunt or uncle you could confide in. You could talk to a school counselor even, and they could talk to your parents. Maybe see about seeing a doctor for some mild medication to help you feel normal again.
It’ll pass don’t worry.
I have the same problems except I’ve told my mom, but she’s always been really bad at letting me have emotions (so no help there). I think a lot about things that would help me feel better, and sometimes a part of my brain acts like a mother for me. You gotta help yourself sometimes, the teen years feel like forever, but they aren’t. (I’m 15 btw). I get through life with my one goal: a job in art, and I work when I can to pursue that, even though I suck in every other aspect in my life. So this is a clusterfuck of words, but I think what I’m trying to say is, find something that you won’t get bored with an pursue it. If you’re the type to get bored easily, find a lot of different things. Always strive towards a goal, big or small- if It’s big, have sub-goals. but try to find what works for you, this is just what helps me keep my head above the water.
If you have more supportive parents, try to get therapy or smm. I’ve never had that so idk what it’s like, but I’ve heard that it’s cool
