I really don’t know how to start. Things have been happening in my life. Early this year I noticed have been losing weight and sleeping a lot actually I don’t sleep in the night buh in the morning or afternoon. My mum start complaining so I visited a doctor. Upon visiting the hospital,the doctor asked me to run some test buh there was actually nothing wrong with me medically buh i know myself that something is wrong with coz I know how I feel. The doctor asked me some questions like what’s bothering me and stuffs. I explained to him that it’s about my studies and family issues. He told me to be careful about my thinking issues coz it will affect me psychologically that I should try talking to my parent about. I talked to some elders in our family to speak with my parent for me. Which I think they did buh I was asked to speak to my dad myself which I did. While I was writing my last exam I was not feeling well so I had to go to the school clinic and run some test. The doctor told me I had typhoid I think that I should get some drugs buh due to our financial instability at home I was unable to get the drugs. Till this moment I’m yet to treat myself. So last week I was feeling down and told my mum buh I reply to me was harsh and afterwards she didn’t ask about my health which is disheartening she told me I was only pretending that nothing was wrong with me. Buh the worst happened this morning, I was unable to sleep last night. On getting up to take care of my little siblings that will be going to school , I had menstrual cramps it’s being look I had that kind of pain with which I still took care of my siblings. I cried my eyes out this morning because of the cramps buh no one cares about me at all. None of them even looked at my side. It’s becoming too often that I don’t know what to do again

Hmm…..pele. If your parents do not have your time, please pardon them, they may be under a lot of pressure financially from what you said. But, it is obvious that you need help. Please learn to affirm yourself with the word of God if you are a Christian or speak positive and kind words to yourself.
You can also read books that help boost your self-esteem. If you can, see a counsellor.
