How to deal with life when you have so many problems?

I know what you mean, I've been going through the same thing but mostly with my family. I also dropped out of school and I don't. Have motivation to do things I used to or to hangout with my friends. My family tells me they expect more of me which tears me down even more. I don't think you are being paranoid. Some things I do to get my mind off things is music. Music has helped me so much during the most painful. If not try to maybe read or write about your feelings. Just never give up. Another thing is I have looked more to god. I don't know if you are religious or not, but faith in my religion has given me hope and love when I felt no one else seems to care. I know we have never met but if you need someone to talk to or vent to. I'm a good listener. Just don't give up..I hope I have helped you in some way.
