He can't even get out of bed most days. Most days he feels weak and useless and worthless. He has nothing going for him. This straight A student no longer has those grades. He struggles to maintain a D- and doesn't have the will to do anything. He has no motivation. He feels as if everything would be better if he were dead. He feels he is a burden to everyone he knows and is a huge disappointment. He is tired of the expectations he has to meet. He can't tell anyone what he is feeling because then he won't be manly. His mom is abusing drugs and his dad is abusing him. He is abusing a blade because it is the only friend he has. He wants to die. He... is me.
Motivation is a bucket. it gets empty and if there's a hole in it it can't refill. It's not personal when it's empty; it's situational.
I am sorry you are going through this, but do try not to make it any worse, and do try to think outside the box. Your life is what you make it, and you have a lot of years ahead. You don't have to live this life, you can live another life. You can walk out the door and never come back, and not feel sorry you did it for one single day.
