Lost everything to a scam, got betrayed by friends, and now I feel completely hopeless.

Discussion

I’m a 17m, and about 7 months ago, I got a message about Bitcoin investment. I got convinced to invest, and I ended up putting in $1,200, which is a massive amount where I live since the average monthly salary here is around $80. Two months later, I realized it was a scam, and I lost everything. That was the worst moment of my life.

After that, everything just went downhill. I even tried to end my life. The people I trusted the most betrayed me—my own friends stole my money when I was in the hospital. Things at home got worse too. My dad almost killed my mom, and she left the house. Now I have to beg my dad or relatives just to get money for food because I can’t get a job right now.

As if things weren’t bad enough, the closest person to me was murdered right in front of my eyes. That broke me completely. I lost control and spent a long time drowning myself in weed and alcohol, just trying to forget. But nothing helped. The pain never really went away.

I tried to move on and met a girl here on Reddit. We talked for two months, and she told me she loved me. But when I told her I loved her too, she just started ignoring me. It’s been five days now, and I feel like I made her hate me. She was too kind, and I really loved her, but now she won’t even talk to me.

I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. My life feels like it’s falling apart, and I don’t see a way out. Idk what should i do😞
