I'm not thin enough, I'm not pretty enough, I'm not good enough. Why am I still alive?

Hi, im sorry u feel so bad, i feel that way sometimes to, but I just try to think we are here for a reason, i dont know what it is exactly, but I hope you are feeling better. You are alive for a reason. If you get to feeling really bad, u should call a hotline, i have done it and felt much better, they help a lot

Because holding so strongly onto that belief is what will keep you in a lower mood.

Let go of what is not serving your best interest - listen to what is rational. You can believe yourself to be anything you wish, and the best person we have to love and care for us is ourselves.

I too am sorry for the way you feel. I hope you feel better soon.

I always feel like not enough. Or if not that too much. I never feel right...ok. Rarely.

I'm so very sorry you're feeling this way. Big, big hugs.

LIght shines through for me...not right now but it does. It will for you. You just have to trust...

Have you felt like this for a long time or is this a new feeling? I'm sorry you feel that way. Could you talk more about it?

No one is. There is not one perfect person walking this earth. You will never be happy if you always compare yourself to others. Trust me I use to do it too. God made you the way you are. He didn't make us to be like each other. Just think how boring the world would be if we all looked the same and acted the same. That is why we have our own unique finger prints and dna. Be proud just to be you :)

Me to. I am to fat like 280 pounds. I am fifty I am to fat to ugly and so depressed I just stay in my bedroom most of the times. I live in Detroit if you live in Windsor we would live pretty close. Ontario is probably bigger than Michigan and Ohio together. I have felt this way since 1989. I did have a few manic episodes over that time. If you hit on the right meds you may go into a manic episode where its all good, no fear. You will loose weight and think your the most beautiful woman in the world. Last time I thought I was God and lost 50 pounds in 2 weeks.
