Every friend I’ve ever gotten close with either moves away, or I move away from them. I’m so sick of always being alone. And once again my best friend is moving and I’m about to lose it. Maybe I just don’t deserve friends. Or a life. I’m so sick of seeing people with all their friends and parties and events on social media. I want that. Life is so unfair. I can’t even get a job to save up money. I just want some hope that things eventually won’t suck so badly. Sorry this is so random -xvxvx0

Hello lovely,

I’m sorry that you’re feeling this way. Having friends move away, or being separated from friends is not an easy thing to deal with. But the good thing is that with technology, it’s really easy to be able to still communicate with each other! Are you able to still talk to your friends through facebook, texting or another communication media? I find this is really helpful for talking to my friends from high school, since we’ve all moved away now. Another good thing is to plan to visit each other in advance. Set dates that work for both of you, and you have something that you can really look forward to. Remember that just because friends have moved away, it doesn’t mean that you can’t remain best friends!

Are there any other people that you know, that you are acquaintances with, and could start a friendship with? It may be easier on you to have some people to keep close with. If you don’t have other friends, I found what helped me was joining some clubs that interested me. I have social anxiety, so it’s very hard for me to make new friends, but I joined the school band and the local library group. Even though I didn’t talk the first few weeks, by that time, people had started to notice that I hadn’t quite found my place yet, and started talking with me. It was a really good way to meet people with similar interests, and make new friends.

You definitely deserve friends, lovely. Keep in contact with your friends that have moved away, and see if you can meet some new people in your area to keep you company.

Take care,Alexandria.

I have GAD and am taking A-level English. I am going for an A and its really hard,I am in school till 5-7pm just to revise. I have to get near full marks in my exam to get the A as my coursework isnt as high as I want. Even though I love English I am not going to get the A which some days triggers my anxiety and I cut and other days I just feel numb. My teachers know about my GAD & one of them got involved in my self harm back in December but since then ive relapsed. But they still don't care &

Hey there!

I'm actually taking A Level English as well, but that's besides the point really... As far as not getting the grade is concerned, there's always the option of taking the class again next year, that way you get a whole year to basically revise and improve your coursework grade, that way, hen the exam comes around you won't be piled under so much pressure. And whenever you see those people that upload pictures of them out with friends and partying just remember that although they might be having ore fun, you're the one that's actually focusing on your education and doing well, and that during summer you'll be able to do all those things and you'll be able to spend so much longer looking for jobs that I'm sure you'll be able to find one!
