when people ask u why are u sad, or whats wrong and then turn and say well u know look here look there...those people have it way worse, u need to look at them. they would be happy to have ur life...wtffff!! that makes me so mad! like i know other people have it worse but it doesnt mean that my life is good. its just like dont ask me if ur gonna say that. ughhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! im hurting too...just because i live in an apt, have 2 parents, go to school, am healthy doesnt take the want of wanting to die or hurt myself. does anyone else feel the same as me?

I completely know what you mean.
I try tell some of my friends I'm depressed and they brush it off like I'm just having a bad day. They don't understand I feel like the world should end and I don't want to wake up on a morning. They don't understand I cut when I'm upset and pull my hair out.
So my world isn't that of those worse off than me,but I still feel bad.. they don't get that :(

Sometimes when I'm in a really bad mood, but it's true there are people worse off and you got to learn to be grateful for what you do have or else you won't be grateful when things get better either.

someones says "Oh Look they have it worse than you," My Reply to that "Yeah they have it bad but it could even worse for them they could be ignorant assholes like you are as well". Makes you want to beat people bloody doesn't it.

yeah it's pretty insensitive. I'm perfectly aware that there's people worse off but that can't change the thoughts that I can't control going through my head. If it did I would be one of the happiest people in the world.
