Something’s not right

Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

I realise how little i mean to people. i mean nothing.
its abit like walking down a long dark street never knowing when a light might flick on to show me the way or give me some hope.
im tired of trying. tired of hoping. tired of coping. tired of exisiting. tired of breathing. i think im done.
dear everyone that knows me, im sorry im such a disapointment. im sorry i cant live up to your expectations. im sorry i was born. im sorry if ive hurt you. im sorry if ive made you miserable. i deserve all the blame and hatred i have gotten. everything is my fault and im sorry.
im locked within the walls of my own minds and i just cant escape it.
Pain. Pain all the time. It runs through my veins a fast flowing river with nothing there to stop it.
Just get over it they say. i wish i could, im living minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. im struggling with memories that haunt me everyday and i dont think they will ever fade.
my thoughts are overwhelming and what hurts me the most is when people pretend to care but really they dont.
im so scared. things just arent the same anymore. im not doing anything right anymore. ive lsot myself, the person i once knew isnt here anymore. i dont know what to do anymore. i feel like i dont belong here or in reality. no where. i have constant feelings of being unworthy and hopeless, of being a prisioner in my own body.
i have so much pain physically and mentally. i try to stay happy. i try to keep smiling. i try to be brave. i try to be stong. i try to act like everything is ok but im far from it.
i never know when im going to have a 'good' day and at any minute im triggered and takes such a long time to recover.
there are monsters living inside me, attacking me, ripping me apart from the inside. i dont think its ever going to end
but its ok "ill just have to get over it" just as expected

@Former-Member This could be a really stupid question and I may have missed something along the line, but why do you keep living with people who seem to hate you? I'm guessing it is probably due to finances or something - that seems to be the most common reason people stay in difficult situations. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I just know that as difficult as I find it being alone, it is a million times better than it would be for me to try to live with others.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

I can relate to you so much @Former-Member I use to use all my energy in trying to please people and wanting acceptance and to be part of a group. I did everything possible to get there and I use to only want people to see my as strong. For nearly 10 years not one person saw me cry. I pretended I had it all together and I should be loved by all and perfect. Man did I have to be perfect. I wanted everyone to think the sun shined from my butt.

Then one day I just listened to mums nagging annoying saying. "They are lucky to be your friend and if they don't want to be your friend that's their loss"

Since that omg I can breath. I can't control how and what people think of me and I never will. I can only control what I think of me. If they don't like me oh well. If they do like me well they got a loyal friend.

AWWW @Zoe7 my beautiful guardian butterfly

that means so much to me . i consider you guys on here family too. i have exposed more on here than with my own off screen family. if only i could reach through the screen and hug you

i hope you ahve accepted that name, you are very worthy of it and have been through a low point and look here you are again, despite having your own troubles . i feel very close to you as well adn would do anything i could to help you through whatever your going through

hopefully ive helped you in something ive said as well. i love being here for people esp when they need it the most. ive started becoming closer to more people such as @Phoenix_Rising @Faith-and-Hope @utopia @Former-Member and many more.

ive been struggling so much and its killing me (literally as its physical pain too)

Even though i dont think that about myself im glad someone else, esp coming from my guardian butterfly, thinks that. it truely means alot to me

P.S i hope you dont mind me calling you that, i can stop if you want me to, no offence taken

@Former-Member

ive been told that many a time but doesnt seem to sink in, i guess my brain either doesnt want to accept it or i just cant accept it for some reason. i dont really know. you make a very good point though. im so use to having these resposibilities as well- im20 and started caring at 16 and my sisters ive always had the sister looking after role but as i got older i guess everyone took advantage of it and they still very much too.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

I am learning to accept it lol @Former-Member It is one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me and I'm not very good at accepting nice things being said about me - I think you can relate to that.

You're like my little baby caterpillar - struggling to find her way in her coccoon, struggling to know how to break free, struggling to see the light. But inside that little caterpillar beats a heart of gold, a strength that will push through the coccoon wall and a wisdom that will lead her out of the darkness and into the light.

...and I will be more than proud to stand beside you, watch you grow your wings and to be able to fly.

Zoe

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Hi @Former-Member been around long enough to understand exactly what you've been feeling. But I'd like to tell you that you have helped me and I have valued your opinions whenever I have visited the forums. Been absent for a couple of days, me stuff, but I was obviously meant to hear from you so I could tell you about YOUR self worth.

Listen to @Zoe7 she knows what she is talking about. Probably doesn't even remember me but helped me with words of what I would call empathetic wisdom.

Everyone listening to you @Former-Member @Phoenix_Rising @NikNik all understand so keep talking.

Just wish I too could look forward to srious sleep. It will help.

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

Oh @Baileyboy of course I remember you. It has been a while since I have seen you around though - I haven't been 'myself' for a while either though!

They are such loving words from you - thankyou. I don't remember doing too much to help you out but I must have said something right! That means a lot How are you doing - still not sleeping and hating the nights too?

Re: Depression- Really Struggling- may be triggering

One day it will just click trust me on that. One day a switch will go off in your brain and you will be like why did I care what that person thought of me. Who are they to judge me. It's hard when you have responsibilities. I also had to care for family from a very young age. It's hard. I though in my teen years put boundaries down into what my limits are in caring for people and how much I will let them have of me. Something you might need to look into.
