Listen, i have listened to all of your advice, i plan to get help when i can, i am still prevented to get some medical help.
I am the most unstable person there is, i cant develop my self, i fake ego fronts, i crash, i want to get away so bad.
Why am i this way? why cant i just be stable, when i do come to peace, i have obligation im always no doing something rihgt, i never have it together.
I am your fellow american teenager, im so distressed about myself, i have so much problems, my parnets are unstable, my mom has rages, i cant take this stress, i have got to get it togeter.
I have ambition, i dont know where to go with it, i am really unstable now.
I am going to get help right when im 18, but you have to understand, my parents are not understable, they control. They have not implanted, a sense of self-drive, i am always going down. God, please put me together.
I've got to go my parents are screaming again.

I really feel your you. It sounds like you're going through a type of depression. I've been through some really bad times with depression myself recently, and I've even tried to take my life a couple of times, though my parents have never had much problems with each other.
The best thing to do would be to get to a doctor or psychiatrist ASAP for help. They are there to help you feel better. They may give you useful medication to help you get through this.
You sound like a strong person who is capable of a lot. Just try take it easy, one day at a time, and I hope you feel well soon, and I hope your parents will realize what you're going through and sort things out. :-)

Matt,
My heart goes out to you in your difficult time. I've read much of what you've posted here and empathize with your struggle.
I can see in you, from your writing, a young man who has a tremendous amount of strength and courgage. I know you want to get better and move on in your life, and I believe that will happen for you. It's got to be tough living with your parents as you describe them. You can make it to 18 and WAY BEYOND. I see you in the future as a man who will use and learn from your current situation and will help countless others with their struggles. I see an intelligent young man who CAN be whomever he wants to be - just around the corner. Hang in there. You have potential, you have life and you have a tremendous amount of personal strength.
I am praying for you.
Wildman

Matt,
You will make it, you're very wise and strong and you want better for yourself. You deserve it and you will get it eventually, as soon as you can make those decisions for yourself you'll make all the ones that will put you where you want to be. Hang in there, keep posting sweetie.

Life can be tough and very unfair at times. I understand your need to escape. Perhaps you can escape using your imagination. Try to see your situation from another angle. Maybe realize that you can do things to change and make things better. It takes a lifetime to develop oneself...there is no rush. Sometimes helping others can help one find parts of oneself one didn't know about. It gives one a different perspective. Even imaginating about helping others is useful....like what one would do if one could fly over to Tsunami ridden areas and have all the resources one needed to help. Compare the lives of people from 3rd world countries with yours and realize that there are many ways to living. People can be happy even in the most dire of circumstances.Best wishes
