My Life | Update #1

Sorry to hear about that, bud. 🙁 I don't have any advice, but my thoughts are with you and your family!
 
Whenever it's just words on the screen it's hard to imagine sometimes that they are coming from another person. I'm sorry that you're having a hard time dealing but you have to just take it one day at a time. Never mind what everyone else thinks they don't matter. You matter, you need to do things that you enjoy and be around those that make you happy. If people aren't contributing positively in your life then just forget them they don't deserve your attention. On another note though, do not push people away that are trying to reach out to you. It's ok to be sad. It's ok to be upset, and even angry. ...but you also have to make the effort to be happy. It seems impossible at times I know but you will find that if you do what you love whether it's be reading, fishing, riding your bike, do something that makes your beat just pump a little faster that you enjoy - the natural endorphins will kick in.

Very nice, thank you. Every bit helps.
 
David,

As much as it sucks to say, life is not as helpful as it could be. Given your age, I can't really picture who would make fun of you, nor why they would. People around your age are generally smarter and more mature than they were ten years ago.

I admit, my advice is a bit bias as I dealt with bullying and being made fun of a lot. I learned this way too late and wish I could tell myself this back in school: ignore them, they truly mean nothing to you, they shouldn't get under your skin. The people who make fun of you or are rude, just shrug it off. Remember that their life must be terribly worse than yours if they resort to insulting people to make themselves feel better.

Cancer is one of the more common causes of death lately. It hurts, but the only thing you can do is try to move on. Cherish the memory of your father, and do what I'm sure he'd tell you if he could, don't hang onto the past as if there's no future. Keep trucking on to do something better, to be someone better, to be a man your father would be proud of. (not saying he wasn't ever proud of you!)

Depression is one of the worst things to deal with. I still go through it daily, which is why I spend my life online and playing video games. It distracts me, takes me away from my real world life. Something else that may really help is to find a job/part time job or a hobby doing something you really enjoy. For me, I work part time nights at an animal shelter. Working with animals is a remedy for me, it makes me happy and feel better. Animals may not be the exact remedy you need, but you get my point.

Depression can be strong, so strong that you struggle to break free from it. If you want to break from the depression, you also need to have the mentality that says 'I want to do something with my life! I want to work doing what I love, I want to have friends to hang out with, a girlfriend to love.' or whatever fits you. Depression only wins if you give up all together.
 
I'm sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could say to help. I wish you the best.
