i don't know why i continue this vicious cycle. i guess i do it for my family but lately i feel like a burden again. my dad tells me he's worried and i say i'm fine but a week later i'm back to my lonely, self loathing mindset and i'm tired. at this point not much is stopping me. is it selfish? yes it is. i know how extremely selfish it is but right now, i feel like being selfish. no one but myself has to go through this; so why should i think about their feelings.

If something were to happen to you, your family and friends would be devastated. You are a worthy person who deserves to live a happy life. Talk to your dad and tell him how you really feel and that you feel that you need counseling. I am sure he will do everything he can to get you the help you need.

you are very young. You haven't even started life. I mean, you haven't even made it to the starting post.

So you have truly no idea what you're missing out on. You just feel bad right now and want instant gratification. You don't want to ride the stress and see what happens. I think you need to play the long game. If you're going to kill yourself, wait till you're forty. See if you still want to then.
