I am really so tired of fighting. I really don't know what to do ( I know I always say that ) but Its like this life isn't for me. Everyone would be fine if I disappeared so I should just do it already. I just feel so lonely, I know I have people here but when I am not here I just feeling like I am so alone. Im left alone with my thoughts and its like I can't tell anybody in my life how I truly feel. The things that have been barely getting me through is self harm and abusing pills. I am just really tired.

I'm sorry you feel so alone. Your self-abuse and pill abuse, however, are contributing to your aloneness whether you realize it or not. Please srop doing these things. You are NOT alone, millions of people have mental/emotional issues, and you are one of the smart people who is at least aware of your problems, which is half the battle. Take meds only as prescribed, and try to think of a way you could make even one face to face friend where you live. There may be support groups in your area. Or maybe you have a hobby or interest you can share with someone. May God bless your day.

A lot of people lack the knowledge of depression and how it makes you feel which is what makes you feel alone and maybe unwanted and better off not here! i have a very short list of people who understand but even then it's scary for them because they just don't know what to do or say! You definitely deserve this life you've been given and allthought it feels like it's not going to get better it really will! It doesn't mean what hurts will go away but the way you deal with it will get better. Avoid pills and alcohol! Try watching inpirational films and documentaries.. they always help me have more perspective and appreciation of the life I have... much love! Stay strong xx

i think about you all the time. everyone would not be fine if you disappeared. and i do know how tiring sh can be. remember, i share many of your feelings. I've said the same things - as recently as a few weeks ago. i've been saying some pretty sad things yesterday in fact. I've been self harming in many ways and degrees for 63 years so i am not asking you to just go and change, but please remember that there are a bunch of us here who do think about you and we aren't just usernames. we are real people. there's lots of caring here...
