You can’t really help anyone who doesn’t want to be helped. The thing is, everybody wants to be helped, even if they tell themselves and everyone else differently.
I’m not exactly the poster child for accepting help, God knows I can be pretty stubborn when I make a decision, even if that decision is a really bad idea, hell, especially if it’s a bad idea.
I’ve made so many bad decisions, and I’ve messed up so many opportunities. I’ve felt completely alone, and utterly defeated. I’ve hurt myself pretty badly just to deal with the pain and self-hatred, and I’ve given up on life a few different times because I didn’t feel like I had the strength to pick myself back up and keep going. But I’m still here.
Somehow through all of the shit life has thrown at me, I’ve managed to survive. I’m not saying that I was impervious to the shit storm, I’ve let myself get pretty low and stay that way for years before. I’m just saying that eventually time helped me heal, and I tried again.
It’s hella cheesy, but time does heal all wounds, if you let it. It may feel like you’ll never be ok again, and no, you’ll probably never be the same, because life changes you, but you’ll be stronger, wiser, and eventually the pain that seemed so staggering before will be a memory, and you’ll be able to move on to whatever comes next.
So, I guess I’m saying that you shouldn’t give up, not completely. You might miss something amazing that’s just around the corner.

Did you ever have moments of anger? If you did how were you able to deal with said so anger?
Good words that people should come back to. It just might take some time for them to realize how important they are.
Oh yeah, I still do have an anger problem, I used to just blow up at people all the time even if they didn’t deserve it, but I’ve gotten better at controling myself.
Mostly I just try to focus on trying to think before I react, if I think about what I want to say before I say it then there’s less chance that I’ll say something I regret.
Working on the anger itself is a good idea too. Try to figure out who you’re really angry at and why, then either work on fixing the problem or letting it go if it can’t be fixed.
It’s not something that you can just decide to do once and that’s it, you have to make a conscious effort daily. But it pays off.
my issue is my angry outbursts are well calculated before carried out. so what i say becomes more hurtful :/
Yeah that can be a real problem. When you do slip up and hurt somebody make sure to talk to them once you realize that you’ve reacted unfairly. Explain that you’re angry about something else and that you’re sorry for taking it out on them. Sometimes said person will still be upset but remember that you were in the wrong and give them some time to cool off.
Everybody has problems, we’re all human, so all you can do once you make a mistake is to apologize and try to work on the issue.
thank you for the advice 🙂 il do my best to enforce it throughout my day
No problem, good luck with everything.
