I’m 24 but i feel like i’m 16. Â This sumer has been the longest one ever I feel like I’m hiding from all my friends so that i don’t have to answer the question what are you doing right now? Whats next? Hows school?
What am I doing right now?! I”m trying not to fall off the edge every day feels the same and I’m wondering why am I still here why didn’t I die? Â I see news reports every day about innocent people being killed and i wonder why are they gone but i’m still here? Â Why couldn’t it work? Â Why am I so useless why can’t I be worthy to feel worthy to be here? Â Every day I keep wondering will it ever get better? Â Is this really just a phase? Â It can’t be because I’ve been in this phase for six years and there is no end in sight! Â I hate school I hate the program i’m in the people in it and as for whats next I have no fucking idea i’m kind of hoping about 3 bottles of pills to be honest.
I feel invisible like no one really sees me and sees what i’m going through, but then I don’t really want them to it’s so messed up for me at this point, maybe i just wish i knew someone was really there and that someone actually does care if i live or die because at this point that’s all i want. Â I want the pain to be gone for the hurt to be over and for the healing to finally start. Â I’m not a good person i’ve done some bad things and i don’t think if there is a God he could forgive me.
How do i break this cycle?

How long have you been at your school for? Is it that place and those people that are the source of your misery? If so can’t you hang in there until you leave? Is leaving now an option?
What sort of things do you feel an individual needs to do in order to feel useful? What happened 6 years ago to make you feel this way..to make you get into this phase? You don’t have to have planss that stretch ahead into the un forseable future. sometimes living day by day is enough.
Think hard…is there not a single person that would miss you if you were gone. Your parents? a sibling? An aunt or uncle? Anyone?
Is there anyone you are remotely close to and if so have you ever tried to talk to them about what’s going on with you?
I swear I have felt invisible at times and that no one understands me or even wants to. You’re only 24, you still have a chance of meeting that someone who will actually care and care very deeply. I’m 26 and I’m still hoping.
I don’t know how you can break the cycle, but I think it’s important you question what it is in your life that makes you so sad and unhappy and are these things that you can change? Is there a way to change the situation? Can you leave school? Or can you hang in there utill your done and then move? Can you move now? Are there people that you can reconnect with?
People do get better, you just need to hold tight and muster all the determination you can, every single little bit of it. Seeking help from a doctor is nothing to be ashamed of and can help. I know it’s really tough and to even go to someone to talk about feeling this way super hard. But its a good option and one that may help you.
I’m really sorry I can’t be of more help and give you some solid advice, but I know that if you’ve been tough for six years, you can go on until you find an answer.
God forgives anyone who asks. God loves you.
I doubt it’s any consolation but I’m almost 22 and I know how it feels to not know what is next…
I am 24 too and I feel like 16. Exactly like you! I am not sure if I would ever have the guts to take my own life but I was always thinking that if ever there needs to be a life to be sacrificed for a good cause, like if some terrorists will require somebody die or they will push through with some diabolical plan, I think I would gladly volunteer (given that the death will not be through torture of some sort).
I read facebook statuses of my friends about a good family member/friend who died, and sometimes I wish I can take their place because they seem much more wonderful than me. *sigh*
