> My Mom is worried about me and she has reason to be worried. She came into my room last night and told me to not think about things too much. My Dad just came to me and asked me if I was happy and wouldn't leave me alone until I said Yes.

> I have a quiz tomorrow and I haven't started studying for it.********Sorry you're stressed Deneb. Are there any fellow-students who you might study with? Just wondered if there's anyone who you might ask each other questions back & forth.
Sounds like your parents love you, care about you & really want you to feel better. I think that we human beings can find it really awkward to know how to help those we love feel better. Some of us are better at it than others. I know that I can speak as a parent who is really scared for my son's well-being. Sometimes I don't know what to say to him or 'how to be' with him..I'm afraid I'll say something that will make him feel worse. What I'm hearing is that your parents really do care. I bet that, in itself, could make a person feel pretty stressed *****
> I just found out my Mom didn't get rid of the aspirin I bought.
******How does that make you feel? Maybe she just kept them in case someone gets a headache so they can be used in the intended way?*****
> I don't want to deal with life anymore.

> I wish my Dad had to work today.
*****I hear ya. I'm sorry you're feeling awful. I admire that you're doing school....I don't think I possibly could. High school was all I could take!!!
I think that: 'I don't want to deal with life anymore' is a perfectly suitable reason to call your Distress Line if you want to. They're there for those of us who have feelings that we just CANNOT or DON'T WANT to cope any more, as well as people who are just generally feeling pretty upset.(((((((((you))))))))) If you're feeling badly, I hope you give it a try. Let me know, if you do. I found it helped me. Sometimes more than others, but always it helped somewhat.
I send love, Kath
