Hey
I have a bunch of friends right now that all seem really happy with life… Pretty much all of them have boyfriends or girlfriends and the ones that don’t seem happy to keep it that way. So I can’t really connect with them anymore, they seem very distant and I can’t act myself around them or they will think I am acting like a freak. Trust me I’ve tried it before. So the point of telling you that was this, I can’t take it anymore… I can’t take acting like a different person just to make other people happy… So I’ve seriously considered killing myself lately because I think that death would be such a happier fate than living like I’m not the person I really am. I figure if no one has ever seen the real me than it’s the same as being dead anyway. The only problem is that I don’t want to kill myself, I just want to be dead

I understand what you are feeling and am struggling with it too. I wish i had a perfect answer for you. Have you tried medications? They do help some people.
I didn’t even know there were meds for this sort of thing
I understand your feelings completely. I have lost all of my friends just for being myself so i started acting like someone else, someone everyone would get along with. But this doesn’t work. It is so tiring to try and be someone you’re not. And without being accepted by others your life becomes worse and worse since you have no one to lean on and get support from.
I understand this a little too well.
And to be honest i never thought i would ever find someone that understood me and let me be ME.
But i did find someone, and he has never judged me for being depressed or suicidal. He loves me and will always support me.
And now i don’t mind being alone ’cause i have him. So please don’t worry. You need to wait for that one person to come along and completely see through the facade you’ve made for others. Then it doesn’t matter if you have friends or not, it only matters that they are supporting you.
I wish you luck in finding this person and i hope i gave you a little bit of hope!
