verge of suicide/permanent panic attack mode because of my CARELESS family

Heartbroken

Delusional

I am nearly 18 and a female. I daydream and fantasize the life I want to have all the time, but I don’t do anything about it. For the most part, I just think. I also try to escape my problems by watching music videos and soap operas. It is so easily accessible and tempting. ... Read More
