You know whats worse? When the situation is out of your hand. You can't fix it, nor can you do anything about it despite the major impact its gonna leave in your life. You can only and only watch things crumble apart. Slowly at an excruciating pace, and you just...sit there. Because that's all you can do. I'm so tired. I'm tired of not having control over my life. I'm tired of living for other people. I'm so, so tired.

[@Anndreya05]

I relate to every word you said. I have a disease and it is the main cause for my hopelessness. It's exhausting enough having to fight like hell to survive another day. It leaves you with no strength for the things you want to do. It seems like every time I try to achieve a dream, even a small one, life says "no" and my situation gets worse. So I just sit around all day, dreaming of being able to at least try, but never being able to. No words can help, no therapy would fix it, no steps towards 'better' can be taken. And I can't end it, either, because my family begs me not to. But I wonder, every day, is the small joy I bring them worth the pain they feel because of me? Would they not be better off without me? I know that if they told me they don't need or want me anymore I wouldn't hesitate to end it. I have no future for myself to fight for. I'm tired, too.

[@deniesemlopez9965]

@@Anndreya05 imo, people who keep people alive to suffer are selfish. Do they not know that you're in pain everyday? If my dad was suffering I'd let him go so he stops suffering. If he has to go, he has to go. I'll miss him, but at least I'd know he wouldn't be suffering and he'll meet me when I'm at my end of my life.

[@HARUKANAKAMURA18]

You just described my everyday life. I am in a situation where i just can't do anything. I once cried to my best friend about it. She told me everything will be fine. Although i can't do anything . I even had suicidal thoughts but i couldn't do that. I don't have that much courage. I am scared. But how things are getting worse...i can't live peacefully nor die peacefully. Sorry for my messed up english.

[@DarkAmy394Chiby]

Everytime i watch a new video of this channel i cry for two reasons: 1. I understand how absolutely broken i am inside. 2. I'm not alone. So i feel like a kitty in a box, it's raining, i cry and pray for a warm house to welcome me but a the same time i can feel other kittens crying with me, even from a distance.

[@mandragonna]

Two years ago I hit my lowest point in life. I was stuck in a situation that I couldn’t get out, no matter how much I asked for help, talk to friends or be with my family. Nothing and no one made me feel anything, I even considered just stop existing overall. The only thing it kept me here was the fact of how awful would be for my family if something happened to me, so I just kept existing. After that I somehow got a job and that kept me distracted of my own thoughts, but every now and then the feeling of emptiness emerged. Now I am in a better place, in fact, I’ve never felt so good in my life! I still struggle in life, but now I feel that this journey has a meaning and this path is taking me to a better place.

[@QuinnClark-hr7ei]

I'm glad you feel better I really do, I'm not great at showing it but I do😁☺️

What was the things that changed your perspective the way you view your life compared to yourself 2 years ago?

[@arakemi1080]

sometimes a mechanical purpose is what a person needs to start gaining hope, sometimes doing something that REQUIRES you to stay focused on that thing instead of simply asking you to do so, is enough to pull one out of the mud pit and help them get cleaned up from all the dirt they had imposed onto them by society's categorized and subjective bullshit. Society has crumbled so much nowadays, especially in america, that even getting a job is hard nowadays because everyone wants the top 10% of college graduates and university graduates that KNOW FOR A FACT their time is worth far more than to work in an office space that will give them nothing but minimal pay, sexism, classism, racism and other isms. Society is like a tree, if the tree is never trimmed, the exterior leaves will always be the ones taking in the most sun, while inner leaves that have more potential will wilt.

[@ShadeyNshade228]

​​@@QuinnClark-hr7eiHonestly same I'm not especially not usually oddly enough even though I'm really great and just very decently based to a extent good at grammar (at least this is what I hear from others a lot or somewhat believe to a extent from myself and my somewhat small outward looking inward observational perspective/POV) I'm SO not good at expressing that too I usually say something whenever people say that they succeeded or accomplished something I say "Yea that's good." Like a fucking robot or something(no offense to you or I but that's legit how I feel like shortly after I realize what I said and I still feel proud that I said anything or tried but I'm like "Jesus. That either sounds like something like or akin to a robot or me almost really just like a robot." xD I'm like what the hell. But I'm glad this Original commenter is feeling better too! Because it's better to feel better then to feel like utter crap or shit. I am pretty sure everyone has been there I can't say because there's so many people with so many different experiences and trials in life but a lot of us have and I have too but I'm very glad that this guy could feel better too. It's worth it to feel I guess worth it and to feel better. :3 :T

[@ShadeyNshade228]

Dude I am glad that you feel better it's not easy at all with being like this and not feeling like you can go on anymore but I am GLAD(even if I am a stranger online with a piece of technology such as a phone and or vice versa with access to the internet) it's great that you aren't feeling like you're there anymore. No one really deserves to feel there unless you well kind of are like someone like Adam or something like from Hazbin Hotel but that's about it(he basically SPOILER ALERT BTW(if you are interested in the show or just haven't watched it yet); he basically chooses to die twice instead of accepting that he was a big jerk and overall insufferable asshole all because he saw the world in black and white and kept on continuously trying to force that perspective onto someone else, Charlie Morningstar to think the same and make her give up every time he saw her or interacted with her all just because she wanted others to feel better(sinners of Hell yes the show takes place in Hell btw) and get her to stop trying to help people who could possibly get better. I know it's all fictional and they are all fictional characters and even then it's only on its first season and only has 8 episodes out (9 if you include the pilot but I preferably don't) and the plot has been hardly tapped into or even scratched the surface for anything anywhere in the show and it's characters almost however it's just the thought of people like that who could and probably do sometimes exist irl that are just not going to get better because it's all about they're choices and decisions they either make the choice to become better and be more accepting of others and the choices that others make and themselves or they just don't. Sorry I went off on a HUUUUGE fucking big ass tangent I apologize and HUGE metaphor or more or less example but I do hope and continue to hope that you're life treats you well and that it goes well and that the hurtles it has to offer won't be as bad in the future to the point where they are that difficult to deal or handle with but aren't really impossible either to get through but I do hope that when it does get bad rough tough and all in all difficult that you can and will and continue to stay strong because that's what you can and can make possible and can do as long as you just have hope and don't beat yourself up too hard really sorry if that's a cliche I'm not the greatest at wording but I hope that you persevere more and more and thrive in life regardless. Also I respect the fact that you did not choose suicide because a lot of people do and it's not easy for anyone but you just you can live through it for so many reasons and get past it like how you did I mean I haven't really ever had to go through a suicide in a family or anything but it is always extremely sad and depressing whenever it does happen to anyone for anyone unless you are just so heartless to view it as nothing else then just "What a asshole." then walk away. I hope you have a good one though and thanks for sharing you're story it was a very nice and inspirational story. Again sorry I apologize for my tangents but I just loved to see what another person online had to say it was just great especially on a amazing Psych2go video!!!! I just love watching they're videos they are so amazingly beautiful! Anyway have a good one though stranger with apparently wifi and Internet or data or whatever and maybe a tablet or vice versa happy and safe internet and IRL travels for the rest of you're day or night! ^-^

I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, going to the gym, going to therapy, but nothing ever changes. I know I didn't get like this overnight and it would be silly to expect to "fix" myself overnight, but how am I supposed to get from here to there when I don't know where "there" is, or even what it looks like?

[@KUR4H]

This video came in at the right time. Currently laying in bed struggling to really sleep. I’ve lived a good 18 years of life and throughout that time have accomplished nothing. Nothing at all. At a young age I grew up with parents that fought and a emotionally neglectful mother who was distant and a narcissistic immature father who couldn’t be there for me. And because of this I had a rough start in life. I didn’t realize it as a kid but my life was getting worse and worse. I was having to deal with trauma that I wasn’t even aware of as a kid and thought the traumatic behavior I displayed was normal. And as I grew older I began losing hope each day. In elementary and middle school I got bullied severely and was rejected by my peers. In middle school I struggled to succeed and get things done due to the fact that I had recently been diagnosed with a learning disability and on top of it all I was getting severely bullied by others. Because of this I rebelled and caused trouble for my teachers and peers and tried my hardest to be “popular” as a way to compensate for the lack of attention I got at home. Fast forward to high school and I had no friends at all, I was stuck by myself wandering the halls of the school I was already so numb emotionally and was stuck in a state of survival mode. I didn’t wanna go to classes I didn’t wanna do my work. I avoided classes and skipped almost every day. This lead me down the path of dropping out junior year. Ever since then I’ve been stuck at home surrounded by my toxic parents, the only way I can escape from it all is to isolate in my bedroom. I’m tired of living, I genuinely am. I know so many people talk about suicide online and being tired of living but I genuinely mean it when I say I am so tired of living. I’m losing hope as each day passes by and I feel like giving up. I feel like leaving this pathetic excuse of a planet. I seriously have no fucking clue why I choose to keep living, I think it’s because maybe subconsciously I haven’t given up entirely and that I still am holding onto hope that things might get better, but chances of that happening are slim. Anyways I didn’t mean to trauma dump in these comments but I just needed to get this all off my chest as I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this. If you got this far in reading my pathetic trauma dumping I apologize for wasting your time.

[@amandaemm5140]

🫂 keep pushing forward. I've felt that way too, and had I quit as I felt that way.... I would've missed A LOT ! ❤Sending hugs and love your way... This too shall pass... It's okay to vent, it does help! Journaling and getting out in nature can help a bit too .. chin up you've got this!

Buddy thankyou for telling us your story, you’re very brave for being honest about yourself Knowing your own feelings and willing to talk about it is a great step already Someone will appear in your life at the right moment!

Having a hope in life is very important, and I’m glad that you still have your hope inside you :) Stay strong, things are going to get better, just remember to stay truthful to yourself, people love and care about you, that’s why I’m here altho I don’t know you :) best wishes!

Now, thank you for your time, and I'll depart you with a question: Why should you have accomplished something by 18?

[@DoofusScorpio]

The thing that the last 2 years has taught me is simple. People only care about you when your useful to them. If you can help them, you're welcome around. But ask for help yourself? Roaches in the light.

[@Artoniz88]

[@theSheighani42]

I've seen a lot of that too. Enough so that it's hard to believe someone offering a hand when you're in need, and even more bewildering when they actually respond if you reach out... I'm very blessed. I've found people willing to support you back. Not many, but enough.

[@Lolcoca]

That’s why it’s important to Focus on YOURSELF ! Say NO if you don’t feel it ! And explain for the person that when you say no that’s doesn’t mean you hate the person ! You just make YOU as a PRIORITY in your life and it’s not SELFISH ! IGNORE everything if you’re not interested ! Think ABOUT YOU FIRST : have fun alone and peaceful time with yourself and then after with your loved ones (if you have).

[@ThreadBareHope1234]

I feel you. My mom in particular. She's a drill sergeant sometimes, neglectful other times, then swoops in with apologies and tissues when she has to save her image. A few of my elders love to vent their frustrations or drop all their emotional baggage onto me. But that just means I should cut them out of my life and make friends. And the two big things that helped me plan a path forward are philosophy and story telling. 1) Stories: Stories can be escapism and comfort in one. They can be a huge inspiration. This is only a suggestion, you may have a better film/story in mind. Jedi Fallen Order (a video game with several play throughs here on KZbin) did help me pick myself up and be more optimistic. I don't have to be untrusting, i don't have to stay lonely, and I'm not broken beyond repair. I think girls reading will especially live it. If you are still depressed, I DO NOT recommend Jedi Survivor (the sequel). That one made me more depressed for a time. But like she said, look for inspiration. I thought about rewatching soon. 2) Philosophy: If you do not want to be told to view the world differently, I don't recommend Stoic or Buddhist philosophy, but I wanted solutions/alternatives, and philosophy showed me how I could. That being said, accepting that they are beyond saving will save you energy and worry. Then getting a job is a way to get away and a way to start getting the socializing, money, and experience needed to have a life away from toxic people. If anyone asks for money remember who is number one.

One of the hardest experiences I've been dealing with is the feeling of failure and my inadequacy to be self-reliant.

Jesus promised 2 000y ago that He will come back for everybody who accepted His payment ( His death) for all sins. Only God knows the future and it is Jesus right now speaking through His prophets and telling us about coming destruction of Damscus, Turkey, Berlin. He told us that right before He removes His TRUE believers from this earth there will be Alaska earthquakes 7.6 and 7.3. He will literally pull us out of this world ( kids first) so that we don't have to stay for the Judgment ( the apocalypse). You can still call out to Him to save you after kids are gone, He will rescue you too❤️ Jesus is waiting for u! ❤️Accept him as your Savior and save yourself from what's to come upon this Earth. We are now in the last pages of the Bible. What saves us is faith that Jesus shed His blood for our sins, died on the cross, and rose three days later. It is God's grace that saves us and nothing that we do! ❤️🙌😊 Pure faith!

Definitely went through all stages: - Discontentment: I wasn't liking where my life was heading into and how was it going. Plus, I really think that the quality of the education I was having in my college was really poor. - Isolation: slowly but surely I Isolated myself, going out to walk less and less every week and stopped talking to my family and my already few friends I had - Negativity: negative thoughts appeared often, specially the ones of despair of both my future and the country and society I live in in general. - Desperation: I haven't fallen into substance addiction, but I can tell that I fell into self destructive and counter productive behaviors like binge eating and sleeping the day off. - Resignation: and here I am... Feeling like nothing will change even if I try to. I feel like the more I try to change, the more things stays the same. I feel like I'm doomed to be the way I am from the very beginning. Also at this point I want to graduate from college not because I'm enthusiastic about it, but because I will hate myself even more if I drop it being this close to finish.

[@anteopta6396]

Here is my finding as someone who has already been through the whole thing, all the way down to thoughts of self-deletion. I found that another reason you can't get out of this type of situation, is your environment. The people around you not being able to accept you as the person you are. It took me over 20 years to find people with the same way of thinking as myself. So instead of thinking that you let yourself down, maybe it was your surroundings that let you down. Because they didn't know HOW to catch you. They didn't do it out of malicious intent. They just didn't know how to interpret your thoughts and actions. I better stop here before I start rambling. To sum it up, try finding new friends that you feel comfortable with and if it's only for a group meeting once a week to paying board games. You don't have to abandon your old friends but try finding people that give you positive reinforcement, people that know how to read you and want to help you.

[@anteopta6396]

@@Justabluejj It's not about escaping your environment. It's about adding a new one that you feel comfortable in. And then using that new found positivity to either crawl out of your old environment, or use it to punch the old environment until you have enough breathing room. I do not know your environment, so I can't give you any concrete tips on how to deal with it. All I can tell you is to find the groups that you feel welcome in, where you don't have to bend over in order to be accepted.

[@sherlogic1256]

It’s okay to have emotions and do nothing. Sometimes you just need to accept your extreme emotions as your brain & body just screaming about what it’s experiencing. Also the ‘fix what you can’ doesn’t mean creating some giant plan to solve all your problems. You start at looking at yourself. Ok, we’re not going to fix the big bad, but we can fix survival needs. Food, water, toilet, cuddling stuffed objects, creating comfortable smells in the area, controlling light levels, controlling what sounds affect me (headphones or ear plugs). You can also add in something that gives you tasks that you can complete, for dopamine. Easiest is a video game, but anything short taking about 5 mins to complete can work. I’ve been using a math book recently, and even completing just 1 question can help me feel like I did something more complex for example.

But in all this despair that won't end happily, our family has come together. I see relatives I never knew I had every few weeks, there are smiles and laughs in my home that weren't there before. So even though times are hard and it feels hopeless sometimes, there is still that spark of joy that reminds me to hope. If anyone who's reading this is going through something similar: I see you.

After going through childhood trauma as a totally blind and autistic person, I nearly lost hope and faith in myself. I almost gave up my music life. After years of really taking my healing journey seriously, I now have hope and faith in myself. I now know how strong I really am. Now, I need to overcome the need to mask and restrict myself, and how to learn to unconditionally love myself, rather than giving myself conditional love when I’m happy 24/7. Freedom. Self acceptance. These are the things I need to have. Rather than saying words like, “no. Don’t stop. It’s not ok to. You’re not allowed to. Don’t do this. Stop doing that.” When I’m not even hurting anybody or even myself. Freedom of being myself without judgment, instead of hiding my true self because of fear of judgment, shame, guilt and hate. I can overcome this, I will overcome it. I’m fully committed, whatever it takes.

This video couldn't have come at a better time. I'm nearly twenty, yet I feel like I've already passed by my best years and have gotten to where I'll be for the rest of my life. I've been struggling to find my first entry-level job for over a year now, and I hadn't realised just how deep I'd slipped into hopelessness. Only downside of knowing, I guess, is now I'm fully aware that I'm not just tumbling down a hole with no way to catch myself, I'm at rock bottom without a ladder and everyone above me is shovelling the dirt in. Who knew total hopelessness felt like being buried alive? Anyways, I don't know if I have anything optimistic to add. Only so far one can stretch the definition of 'glass half full'.

[@johnnight8101]

The way I handle my worst situation is just by accepting it even if it's eating me alive. I also go to the gym everyday to forget an enjoy that only thing i have. But i must confess i give myself a hard time by expecting too much from myself. I create non-existing deadlines and watch other how they grow and how life is treating them. The only thing I have no control about myself is jealousy. I hate being jealous it only hurts me more. In addition, the path I am walking is a lonely path. I got thrown away now i have to build myself slowly. I hope and pray for everyone, you get what you desire and deserve. Let's beat this inconvenient moment of life!

[@thedisturbingartist7224]

I lost my beloved cat as well a couple of years ago. It was Christmas morning and I had known that she was going to pass. I spent that Christmas alone as I do every year, but that year it was even without my cat. I was going through it for a while after, and I had recorded a video of myself apologizing to her as she struggled to rest in my lap. I went back to watch it again and the video was gone. It had somehow erased itself. I like to believe it was supernatural, and that somehow my cat had found a way to erase it so that I wouldn't see her in that way when I was in a dark place. That maybe I would remember her as she was when I would get home from work and she would run to greet me. Doesn't make sense logically, but I don't believe anything happens without reasoning. Enjoy the time you have with your cat, they will live on forever in your memories and you mean more to them than you may think. Your cat wouldn't want you to lose hope because they couldn't hold on any longer. Also, you are not alone in your struggles, there are many of us who feel similar to you, not the same, but we are in pain just as you are. We will get though this. We MUST get through this.

It will take compassion and patience for yourself when you fall (again).

Things get tough, but the main thing I gather from this video is hope and to stay positive where it counts. For the most part, I think I'm doing alright, but I did go through some rough things that ended up making me shut down and isolate myself without even realizing it. My main struggle that I'm still dealing with today is loneliness. I have no idea how to make friends, and I have no one to hang out with due to me trying to make things easier on myself in the past. At the end of the day, I found out that me doing that put me in the tough spot I didn't want to be in. It doesn't help that I've lived in about 4 different states my whole life since I was born. Im only 23. So this video does give a sense of motivation. My main thing is that I need to find positive people who share my interests and even hobbies. I just don't know how to do that yet, I've been trying to figure it out. But it's one of those things I think will click when the time is right? Or at least I hope so. Anyways, stay strong, everyone.

I can't maintain friendships because I don't want to go out or even talk to anyone. I can't get myself to respond to anyone. I don't want to have a relationship, I do know what I need to do but I also don't. I don't feel ready to become an adult. I can't trust myself with maintaining anything. My cats are the only things keeping me from fully going depression mode. I am akward and have anxiety. But I guess that's normal.

The three big things that are helping me out of depression are searching up articles and videos of people that share my feelings or experiences, philosophy, and a really good story about finding hope and purpose. All here on KZbin. 1) Stories can be a huge inspiration to me personally. Jedi Fallen Order (a video game with several play throughs here on youtube) did help me pick myself up and be more optimistic. I don't have to be untrusting, i don't have to stay lonely, and I'm not broken beyond repair. I think girls reading will especially live it. If you are still depressed, I DO NOT recommend Jedi Survivor (the sequel). That one made me more depressed for a time. But like she said, look for inspiration. Its escapism and comfort all in one. 2) Talking to people online and looking up the studies on how I got here sufficed until I got friends that shared my experience. Because it assured me that I wasn't alone and that I can improve. 3) If you do not want to be told to view your feelings differently, I don't recommend Stoic and Buddhist philosophy, but I wanted solutions/alternatives, and philosophy showed me how I could.

I’ve struggled with very severe depression still I was about 8. Now at 32 it’s still there but when I feel like laying down and not getting up. The little voice in my head gets so loud. All it says at that point though is “MOVE!”.

[@Mc_Mac_AD]

I started drawing and writing poetry. I became pretty good at both, they make me feel better.

Seen your hope coming back in life, It fills you with determination 😌

[@Cristina-zn4xn]

the only thing that keeps me going is constantly telling myself that the darkness and despair I feel and think has nothing to do with reality, everything is just in my head. The main point is not to give up on yourself.

[@bammalam4616]

you guys always make so sad youtube videos.. in case you need to hear this: you are amazing and you youtube channel is awesome. keep going, you got this!

[@Thruey]

its crazy how some of these videos have gotten almost everything on point

[@springtwigz]

I’ve been at the stage five for years now… I have a roof, a cat, a bit of food and talk to my family every weekend. That’s enough for now. I’m too tired to try and struggle to get any more. I don’t see the point anyway.

[@anonymousanonymous2284]

I hate to see anyone in a state of hopelessness, but It sounds like you've found a way to find a little bit of peace, which is good. here's to hoping you find some hope soon. 🍺

[@RayPeng-07]

You will recover! You got this!

[@Andre-gj6ny]

Thanks for your video I really understand how I got where I am now and the process I went through. My fiance left me in December and slowly I became full of so much dispar and loneliness. I ended up having a massive alcoholic relapse for the first three months but I getting a little better with the substance abuse. Had two weeks the past two weeks than come home one day after work feeling completely depressed and so alone and relapse after I layed on the couch for hours unable to experience anything but hurt and lost hope. I'm just so isolated and lonely in life right now and I wish any of you just me a big hug and tell me gonna make it through this. I'm having so much difficulty in remembering that my life's worth living. I really hope it gets better soon I'm so tired of living in pain.

[@Ash.l_m5]

Actually, thankyou... this is really help me, not just for myself as personal advice but also help me to know how to comfort my friends while they are having these phases. Im not good at comforting someone f2f even in online chats, but at least I know what do they need and trying to cheer them up. Even tho this still havent through their page, or maybe they havent seen it when I sent this to them, but I will do my best as the video says.

[@darwingreenheart]

rock bottom is honestly one of the best places to be imo. it sucks the whole way down but when you realize things truly can't get any worse (in a certain area of your life) it's a huge relief. you've survived the worst of it and you're still here. keep going, cuz now you have something you didn't have on your way down, knowledge of how you got there. and with that knowledge you can change your behaviors to help you navigate so that you don't fall into the same traps. it's hard, and silencing your ego to take accountability is hard, but you can always change how you operate, you can always revise your decision making process. and even though it may feel like it, you're not alone.

[@FiestaButterfly]

I'm just tired of fighting & defending myself. When no one intervenes or helps, what else am I to feel but hopeless? I was even questioning why I keep trying. I'm still in trauma therapy, but I don't know if I should keep going. I feel like I don't deserve it anymore. I'd like to move on, but I was silent about many things that happened to me for decades. Things that occurred during my developmental years. I can't just get over it - especially now that I disturbed my family's peace by speaking out. Idk why I keep trying. It just makes people upset, but I also know they'll still be upset if I took drastic measures & ended my life. Still idk. The cutting & slapping helped me as a kid. It still helps me now. And I wish I wasn't this way but I was taught it's what I deserve.

[@MerryMohProductions]

IDK, from what I’ve experienced in life it all sounds easier said than done, and I should know I’ve been trying those things to regain hope, and I still am. But everytime it feels like things are getting better, Murphy’s Law intervenes and things fall apart all over again.

[@ViroVV]

She says as the same thing that is causing the loss of my hope happens yet again and even worse than usual.

[@benjamenclydebang-og4277]

I felt those stages in my life long ago and now what I think about hope is a lie, faith is a lie and everything about myself is messed up and don't know anymore.

[@MarianaFerreira-l1f]

This is what's happening to me now 2024 was both good and bad but indeed stressful, always alone.your voice is soothing I will find hope again

[@Violet-j6k]

First four are relatable. However, it hits me more to know that I have known someone that was a really close friend to me, but I couldn't encourage him to do anything about it. We're not friends anymore- sadly, because the way he's treated me ended up toxic and manipulative but I still deep down there believe that he will get out of this stage of life. I miss you very deeply, and I am sorry I have failed you.

[@Malacite]

Lost it a long time ago. I've tried - hard, to find it again but every time it seems like things might be getting better they tend to just get worse. I don't want to discourage others, especially if they're struggling just at least in my experience life has been more than ready with extra servings of humble pie. So I've just stopped trying. Nothing I do will ever fix the situation, so long as she's happy that'll have to do. Cold comfort though.

[@D.M.Transcendent]

41 years of trying to figure myself and others out. 41 years of never having happiness inside me for long. 41 years of feeling used and abused, and it hurts so badly that cutting my self all up to try and gain an iota of control, isn't even worth it any longer. 41 years of being kind to others before myself, and now i'm left in a mentally disordered shamble that i can't fix. No money, no car, in the middle of nowhere, literally and metaphorically, and all i want is for someone to hold on to me for what i KNOW i am. Not use me for what they know i can do and take advantage of what they know i'll fall for. I'm 11 years into my second failing, decade+ long relationship, and feel like i just have nothing left in the tank... It feels like i'm only ever going to matter if i'm gone. Dead.

[@Chrisgoberrr]

I still have hope I have been through the motions it’s hard I don’t know how others do it but I just laughed and keep moving because I know there’s highs and lows in life but as long as I have myself and determination I know I can get through it

[@shawnbomb95]

It’s been years for me. About a month ago I started saying to myself “it’s over” like I realized there’s no going back to the person I was 5 years ago.

[@Danius2024]

Who ever feeling lonely come back and watch this again. We are here for you❤️

[@unlovabledeadsquirrel]

10. Don't beat yourself up if "depression" returns when you just had the impression you overcame it. More often than not, depression is simply a symptom of something else. For example, if you suffer from complex PTSD, its possible that depression always returns sooner or later, until you process some of that trauma. So if this speaks to you, get yourself assessed.
