In Another Life I’ll Be Better

By November 6, 2026No Comments

Well I am so scared to send this, maybe no one will respond but I’ll try. My English is not that good I am so sorry. My family is hurting me a lot physically and mentally. I am insecure about my looks and I get bullied in school. I had to give up on my dreams; like I dreamed a lot but I gave up. I used to give up like it’s a normal thing in my life. I live in Algeria. Yeah a bad country. I can’t live my dreams and school is so stressful. I have a lot to say but I can’t remember. My physical health is not the best and my mental health is… bad.
I need a doctor for some things. I can’t see when I move fast, I can’t eat or sleep, it feels so hard to do anything. I am tired and I am always mad and it’s bad. I am so weak, I can’t run for a long time. My eyes are hurting my heart too. I have panic attacks, it hurts. I think I need help for a lot of stuff and I need to leave this place with UWC or anything. I won’t say my age, I don’t feel comfortable . I have a lot more. Thanks for reading until the end, I appreciate that 🙁

 

First, thank you for trusting us enough to share your story. I know it probably wasn’t easy to put all of these feelings into words, especially when you’re already dealing with so much.

Consider This:

  • When you’re dealing with bullying at school, difficulties at home, and struggles with your physical and mental health, it can feel like there’s no place where you can truly relax or be yourself. That’s an incredibly difficult position to be in, and you deserve so much better.
  • You do not deserve to be hurt by your family, physically or emotionally. No matter what disagreements or difficulties might exist at home, you deserve to feel safe.

Ways to Help Yourself:

  • If you’re being physically hurt, consider reaching out to a trusted adult, teacher, school counselor, doctor, or another person who can help you. You shouldn’t have to manage this situation alone.
  • If it helps organize your thoughts, you could consider using our Keeping Yourself Safe Worksheet.
  • It may also help if you utilize our Weekly Mood Tracker to help you organize your thoughts. You can use this in combination with our Support Plan worksheet.
