Here's the deal. I wake up at 5:30 every morning, I am in school by 6:45. I have a club, and sometimes two, a day every day of the week. I volunteer at two rescue organizations on Saturday and Sunday. I babysit at least three times a week, do three hours of homework a day, and everyone still expects me to do everything right. I cant do it, I cant take it. I cant be perfect like everyone wants me to be, and I just cant take my life anymore. I wish I was dead half of the time because my life just sucks right now :( And I lose class credit if I use a mental health day, so i have to go and i cant even take a day off to chill. Also, now my teacher is making me come in every morning for freaking extra help, and so now i have to wake up earlier, and I am going to just EXPLODE

If you do all of that, OBVIOUSLY you're gonna feel tired and this will obviously lead to restlessness which leads to bad at school which leads to..

Depression.

Cut down. Take it slow. You don't have to do sooo much.

The voices told me to do it.

I think it would be best to take a step back, re-evaluate your priorities and start giving yourself time to relax and enjoy life a little. Otherwise you will continue to drive yourself into this lifestyle that is tearing you up from the inside out.

Any other questions do ask. Am i way off?

EDIT: spelling

You sound too overwhelmed. It sounds like your trying to do too many things to impress the people around you nd mek them thin your "perfect." When in reality you should only be worried about one person. YOU.

It's ok though, we can repair you :)

I think it's admirable you want to work at all these clubs and you volunteer as well, not with just one but two organisations!

But it seems to me like school is stressing you out. And I know that volunteering is probably really important to you, school obviously is too. And you might need to think about what is more important, at the moment.

When things get quieter, you can always turn your attentions back to the volunteering, but for now, focus on the school work. I know they will understand.

You can't be perfect, but you need to arrange your life and your time a little better. And you're trying to add more things into a diary without being willing to let some things go.

If you don't drop some activities, you will flounder and that's no use to anyone, especially to the groups you're helping.

So, change things around a little. I am sure you will get the benefit quickly.

The only good thing about breaking up
Is the making up we do after

Do you ever have time just for you? Do you ever do something that relaxes you? makes you feel at ease? Something that relives stress?

Ahh psshhh i wish!

I think there in lies why you feel so overwhelmed and stressed. If your doing things that overworking, overwhelming you and then not having something in your life that relaxes you then your obviously going to become stressed out and want to, in your words, explode.

Like i said, i think you really need to step back, lookat what your doing and prioritize alitte bit.

That does not mean you have to eliminate things you do permanently. You can always go back to them. But right now, it sounds like too much is on your plate.
