Unfixable and too damaged

I feel like I'm just too damaged and it too late, there so much to heal, too much and I don't think i will be able to do it, I cannot function and I can't even get a therapist to help me unless I have parental consent, I feel comfortable with depression though, very comfortable and it feels much better than being happy, life seems too plain and boring if I'm happy, I can't think of one good thing that's interesting in life, maybe if I was super pretty I would have a more interesting life, that's all I can think of, life seems very pointless boring and empty and plain, I'm kind of sick of it

There is plenty more life than what you see now. You don't seem to damaged
to me. I know it's miserable to wait. But as soon as you become an adult you can get therapy.

It's not too late, take it from an old lady! After so long, I finally feel better, and I think of all the times I thought it was hopeless and wanted it to end. I'm so glad and it is so worth it to hold on.
Maybe focus on trying to help others. That is so meaningful and brings joy to so many people.

Friend, you are Not Too Damaged. I have felt exactly as you do now. The best thing that works for me is to "control my focus". I do my best to not allow myself to focus on all the hurt and shame that I feel.
I was advised to "control my focus" by doing something creative that I can totally get lost in. This removes my mind from the ever-lingering issues I face, and allows me to get lost in something creative. I use two creative outlets on bad days. One is quilting which totally consumes your thoughts for hours. My other creative focusing method is Zentangle. It is actually fancy doodling, and I can get lost in making one Zentangle pattern for a few hours. Look up Zentangle on Pinterest and get a tablet an see if this will work for you. It has been a tremendous help for me. Keep going my friend, and take back your power, don't allow IT to have power over you. I offer much love and healing thoughts for you.

you can feel that it is too late your whole life. it's kind of like a defense mechanism. it's not real, especially when you are so young. it's partly the depression and the struggle and not wanting to take action. It does feel good to be depressed, it's familiar and easier than change.

It's usually easier when you leave home, get your own place, especially when you're dealing with the kind of abusive you are dealing with in your family. the trance of the family needs to be broken so you can get some clarity and freedom for yourself.
