Do you have ANYONE to talk to (offline)?

Just my mom. I've tried talking to a psychotherapist but that put me in a bit of a depression afterwards, so I haven't went back.

No one in real life. I have one real life friend of my own and we only talk after months of not talking out of the blue then stop again. So pretty much all my social life is work (which I don't consider real) and the internet.
 
My mom, but there's rarely a moment that I have her alone. I'd have to get up at 7AM just to talk to her (and everyone has to be at work or otherwise gone). I only get that change like.. twice a year.

Nobody wants to hear it, most of all family. It only makes things worse and they all think they had it the worst and their sticking to that. It really doesn't matter to me.
What matters to me is everyone thinking I'm happy, because then they are happy and more comfortable around me :D

What about you, Kristina?

Well I have a friend I met online and we've met in person a couple of times, but we live pretty far away so it's not possible to hang out on a daily basis. That's all ... My family is pretty messed up and we barely talk (although we live in the same house) and I stopped visiting my therapist after 2 sessions because I don't have the money.

Just my therapist. I used to be able to talk to my mom about my problems but I stopped trusting her after I overheard her talking to the neighbors about my problems after I specifically asked her not to.

Well, it's good that you can talk to at least one person!! I had pen friends when I was your age or earlier :)
Sorry to hear about your family.. Mine is a bit messed up too.. (Well, which family that you know *really well* isn't? :rolleyes: hm!)
Sometimes things improve as you grow up though..
We got on much better when I or sis were away studying/working/travelling..

You know you can get therapy for free too, no? There may just be a waiting list... I suggest you sign up to the waiting list?

No. I've told a couple of friends from Texas but I hardly talk to them anymore and when I did tell them it was in long drawn out txt's and they really didnt get it. I have no friends here, and my Dad asks constantly how I'm doing but whenever I tell him (twice maybe) I always choke up and he doesn't really get it but he understands I get nervous around people so whenever we're somewhere with a lot of people he asks me, "you okay? you okay?" and it makes it worse.

So, no.

I was just wondering if you have anyone in "real life" that knows about your problems, listens to you, somebody you can talk to? A family member, a friend, a therapist ...

My sister, one friend and my therapist once a week. What is difficult is I may have to wait out talking until they are available. Sometimes I text message my brother also as he has anxiety related issues. We vent to eachother frequently.

I only have one friend I know I can truly confide in. We talk about everything and she's stayed by my side even when I left hers while I was being depressed and foolish and nearly killed myself in the process. I'm forever grateful to that friend. Besides her, I have no one. I'm afraid to say anything regarding how I feel to my mom because I'm worried she'll get stressed out and get ill again, the rest of my family is dead (figuratively and literally), and my other "friends" don't even give half an ounce of s*** about me so I don't know who else to turn to.

Hold onto her while you still can. I had only one friend I could turn to and we parted ways a couple weeks ago, stubborn guy he is. I am on the same page with you from what you described of your situation. The only one I COULD talk to is my mother, but she has so much going on I don't bother. Really wishing now that I didn't push everyone away from me, but no sense in dwelling over it. ::eek::
