[Serious] Redditors who know how much time they have left - how does your day look like?

Trust me man, you don't want to put yourself through that. I have never been in your position, but I have tried to commit suicide. 5 years ago I tried to hang myself, but the rafters broke. I know how shitty it feels waking up every day feeling like life is shit. But you never know how your life will be in the future. If your feeling shitty about not having any of those things you need to put in some work.

You have access to a computer, so make a resume and print it off at the library. Every day after school drop off and apply everywhere. Bottle depots and retail stores alike. If you can, try to volunteer at the homeless shelter or somewhere that will take you. Explain that you want some references and experience so you can get a job.

Go to school everyday and study so you can get good grades. If you get good enough grades you have better chances at getting jobs. Explain your situation to a school counselor, they are free and can help you immensely. If you can't get any volunteering work other places, ask your school if you can help the janitors. A school reference is better then most others because of their social status.

Set yourself small goals everyday. Start with just going to school, and making a resume one day. The next maybe they will be studying for 2 hours, and applying at 5 places. Goals that are to far off in the future will seem like they'll never happen, but you have to remember it will take time for you to change your life around and see the rewards.

Save up money, and try to rent out the cheapest place you can find. This will take time, but hopefully their are some youth centers for you to stay at in the meantime. That's all the advice I can give you, and I hope you consider it.

If you don't change something in your life then you won't get anything you want. If the way your living right now doesn't make you happy, theirs obviously something wrong with it. The only way for you to get what you want is to start with small changes in your everyday life. These small changes add up overtime and eventually you will find your almost a different person entirely. It's going to be hard, but as someone who had to change the way I live I can tell you it works.

Your in a tough spot, but reach out to people in your school and community and there will be help. That's the most important part. There is nothing wrong with reaching out for help when you need it. People think suicide and depression is something to be ashamed of and keep it to themselves, but it's no different then a person who can't swim screaming for a lifeguard. PM me if you want to talk, and I wish you the bet.
