I Feel Unappreciated

I have been with my boyfriend for 10 months. He is almost 25 and I am 21. I usually pay for everything like food and gas. For Christmas I spent $500 on him because he never had a really Christmas before since he came from a poor broken...

Recently, I get the feeling that my family doesn't appreciate me anymore. They rarely thank me when I do things for them... It's just like I'm a ghost sometimes.

Do you guys know what I mean?
And its getting to the point where I'm...

I hate that everything I do goes unnoticed. I hate being taken for granted. I work at a nursing home and the elderly take advantage of me because they think because I'm younger I can take it but in reality I can't! Do this, do that...

I do alot for people. I listen to my friends cry and whine about their drama and I help them get through whatever it they are going through at every minute of the day. I take my niece out shopping and to lunch at least once a week. I...

I'm the middle child. So while my older brother was failing school, and my younger brother was just starting school(preschool). I was left to fend by myself. I had to learn to tie my shoes on my own. And I would try to do extra things...

I've spent years of my life researching a particular field of study because I uncovered a cure for one of the major medical issues that inflict mankind. I'm not a doctor, but I have a firm grasp of the physical sciences, and I spent a...

This weekend after a long day I was talking to my best friend who's sitting on my bed.  She is watching me as I'm hanging all of my nighties that I sure have alot to wear for some great guy when he comes along.  And it hit me...

I'm chronically unappreciated at work but am used to it. I take satisfaction in knowing things wouldn't run as smoothly without me and on occasion get some good feedback. In my spare time I volunteer with a non-profit group...

I've given my all to my household. Mother of 3, 31yrs old, full time job, bf if 4 yrs, 2 dogs. In the surface I'm blessed but in the inside I'm falling apart. I've always been the one to cook clean take care of everybody. But when I...

I am constantly begging my fiance to help me around the house. Do anything, Dishes, a load of laundry, pick up after himself, take out the trash, ANYTHING. I never get any help from him or my mother whom lives with us, very sloppily I...

I am married, mostly happy with my husband, I have 2 children of my own and a stepson who's living with us for the summer. My preteen son has ADD and my daughter is 4 years old. I love my kids and my husband, but frankly feeling more...

I feel like it doesn't matter if  I talk or not. My parents would mind if I didn't exist, wasn't home or died. But that's it. THis is hard to explain (I'm not english so..) But i'll try anyway.

An example: We are all watching...

I feel like nothing is ever good enough. At times i wonder what the whole meaning of life really is. I dread each day. My life is going no where. Now you wonder why i feel like this, let me explain in further detail.
Two years ago, I...

I'm exhausted
physically and emotionally drained

Two years ago, my family chose to relocate in order for better job oppurtunities for my dad. Where I had previously lived, I made the best friends I have ever made and I fear that I may never have such good friends again. As a freshman...

I do so much work for everyone. I am always there for others when they need me. I have a problem showing my emotions (I think it has to do with the fact that I was abused as a child) and it makes all my loved ones feel bad. They think I...

They drain me.
Then once they are back on their feet, they leave me here by myself.
Here being life.

I don't get it.
When everyone else has a hard time, I'm the first they come to.
Then when things improve, it's like I am completely...
