And why the hell would we give up on you? Or anybody for that matter? Listen. Life is precious. You might be surrounded by negative influences, but who hasn't? We all have our ups and downs.

Remember: life is a thorn bush full of roses. It sucks, but there are always good moments.

Oh, as for your therapist? Either she's inexperienced or she's a quack. I went through a lot of years with the mindset of 'don't ask for help'. Once I actually asked for help, all the answers came to me.

I remember in an earlier post you mentioned you also had autism? Word of advice: captalise on your strengths and improve on your weaknesses. Helped me a lot.

I'll pray for you if that'll reassure you. Just keep talking to us. Every member on this forum counts. It's called Tokunation for a reason.

EDIT: If it helps you, here's a few coping mechanisms that helped me a lot:
-Breathing techniques
-Go to a silent place
-Focus on pleasant thoughts (for me its either a flowery field or Gundams beating the crap out of each other)
-Reading
-Prayer (I'm religious so it helped me. Even if you're not religious, just putting this out there.)
-Take a break for a few seconds/minutes to be able to process your surroundings/tasks. Breathe and relax.

On a side note, there might be a certain food which affects you mentally. As a child I used to have anger issues on a regular basis until my doctor told my family to stop feeding me certain foods. Turns out my gut wasn't healthy enough to process gluten. Now i'm gluten-free and a lot less angrier. I'm not an expert on this subject but it's something you might want to chew on (pun intended). On a lighter note, soy makes me happier. No, i don't know how that works.
