Its sad to think about, but so many of us are alone.
And we can not expect help to fall at our feet.
But from what I’ve learnt, only you, can save yourself.
How are you? Are you okay? Are you safe? Are you questioning yourself? Questioning your sanity? Deciding if you really wanna live on this shitty ass planet?
Well welcome to the party.
A party where lonely souls are never fully understood but voices are always heard.
You’re in pain? Can’t take it anymore? So sick of your life?
I understand. She understands. He understands. We’ve all been there. He’s there now. She fighting to leave there.
Does life suck? Fuck yeah it does.
Is life unfair? Most definitely.
Does life hurt you in imaginable ways? You betcha.
Does life get any better? Absolutely. But you must want it to get better.
You want live a long life? You want to have children? Grow old with a partner? Travel the world? Watch the stars shine at night? See your favourite band live? Buy a house? Want to watch your bestfriend walk down the isle? Want to get that dream job?
Its possible. As stupidly cliché as it is, anything is possible.
Its possible for you to be happy, if you want to be.
Its possible for you to succeed, if you’re prepared to challenge yourself.
Wherever there is a will, there is way.
What you are going through now, it will not last forever.
What you feel now, you will not feel forever.
And I’m proud. I, a random stranger on the internet, is proud of YOU for making it this far, even if every single part of you is wishing not to be here.
I will not tell you what to do or what not to do.
I will not ask you listen to my words
But I will ask you for one thing
To Save yourself.

Why?
Why not? You’ve made it this far. Thats an achivement in itself.
However far I make it is all it will ever be. We live forever regardless of when we die.
Doesn’t feel like I’m worth saving. I’ll be honest, it just feels like me doing something awful and hurting someone in unimaginable ways myself, is inevitable. The only reason I’m still here is that leaving would cause pain to the people around me.
I understand. I get it. Don’t think about others right now okay? Focus on yourself and your wellbeing. Its perfectly okay to be selfish sometimes. Honesty is good. So the feeling im getting from this is (im no therapist) is a sense of guilt for being alive? Like its hurting you to stay alive, but you will anyway so that the ones you care about will not have to worry?
Again, I can not tell you what to do or how to deal with your life, but I suggest to take a deep breathe and listen. Everyone deserves a life, even if you believe that you do not. It seems like there is not much to live for right? It may seem that way but it is so incredibly wrong. Before you do anything hasty, write a list. A list of things you want to do in your life. For example, do you want to go skydiving? Visit a different country ? Camp under the stars? Make this list, it doesnt even have to be imaginative. It could be as simple as reminding yourself that you belong, or helping out a stranger, mabye adopting a cat? Think of everything you’ve ever wanted to do and write. It may help, it may not. Take some time for yourself. Find out what makes you happy, angry, calm. This is honestly not the best advice and im simply a lost young person but just becuase it may feel like the end, doesnt mean it is.
P.s. Just to let you know, I’m 100% you are not causing any pain to anyone, how could you possibly?
I
I used to want to get better. I don’t have that will any more. Any suggestions on getting it back?
Im certainly not goos at advice but I do I have that I personally use to get through each day.
? Thinking about what makes me happy
? Writing a list of things I wish to accomplish (travel, make a strangers day, raise a pet e.g.)
? Wonder about life would be like if you were happier
? Go outside and just enjoy the air
? Read a book or get invested in a Tv show
? Teach yourself how to cook and share your creations with others
? Draw/ paint your feelings on a canvas. It gets out feelings and then you could sell it
? Beguin to believe that your life can change for the better
? Remember that even if you don’t feel like it, every life is important. It may not seem like it but everything you do, is contributing to the world.
?Have hope and some sort of support network. (There are many people on this site happy to lend a hand)
? Remember what makes you happy
? Remember you are worthy of life
? Remember you are making another person happy by staying stronging.
Thats all I can think of. I hope it helps in some way.
