I’m so tired of trying. Every day is the same. This endless depressing cycle keeps repeating itself. I press on, fail, and end up in the same place I started. I’ve tried so hard for the past 9 years. But everyone just see my failures, not what I’ve achieved or how hard it is for me to survive another day. I feel worthless. Empty, defeated, and alone. Everyone is always wanting me to change, to be doing something else, to be somewhere else, to be someone else. It’s frustrating, I’ve changed so many times, I have no idea who I am anymore. And what good has it done? I feel just as alone and empty as I did when I was 13, cutting myself to sleep every night, praying to God that I won’t wake up in the morning. Who says this will pass? That it’s only temporary? Really? This seems endless and I right now am only seeing one way out. Everyone else has given up on me, my family, friends, and teammates. They’re willing to discard me so easily. So why can’t I let go of myself too? I’m never good enough and I finally see I never will be. It doesn’t matter how hard I try, what I achieve, or how far I go, every path leads me right back here to this same spot. Like I said, I’m tired of trying. What’s the point? I’m sick of suffering. I just want peace. If I have to make my own, I will.

I feel you … it’s like nothing gets better. Everyday is the same. The same BS and hurt. I’m tired as well
I can’t understand why society has such a problem giving people positive reinforcement. I’m sick to tears of the presumption that everyone else is a raging egotist that needs to to be reminded of their weaknesses all the time. That’s all anyone seems to focus on: failures, weaknesses, downfalls. Then they have the nerve to act as if they are doing it for our own good, as if they are just trying to help us out or set us straight.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!! Some of us know damn well what our weaknesses are. What we need are reminders of what makes us worthwhile.
Maybe it’s just that we only hear the spiteful self-loathers because they are so loud and relentless and because we are so sensitive to it, while others may just ignore them. I don’t know.
In any case, you are not alone in those feelings; and you can’t be as bad as everyone makes you out to be. It is just such a statistical unlikelihood. You’re a fighter. I’d like to see those other bastards keep trying as hard as you do with the world stepping on their head.
Glad you’re willing to hang out and talk it out. Still…it’s pretty damn exhausting.
