Some say it’s all or none. Others say something is better than nothing. Which is it? I get so mad at myself for accepting the unacceptable, but when I cut people out of my life I regret it. I have no life essentially. No family, and one good friend (who doesn’t have the time of day for me because she does have a family). After being depressed for about 20 years, I don’t believe it gets better, I believe this is my life and I need to accept that. I am not meant to have or experience things that others do. I am right where I should be if I have to be here. I am not important. I am never a priority. If everything else falls through for someone I may stand a chance. I dread the holidays and weekends because I don’t know what I do with myself. I have tried to commit suicide several times and end up in worse predicament. I just lost my house over the medical bills for my last episode. If only I hadn’t been taken to the hospital for “help”. Go figure, that help dug me deeper. I want to try again but can’t imagine making this life sentence harder on myself. I am leaving quite a bit out but as trivial as it all may sound, the pain is real and debilitating.

If I’m in your situation, I’ll just settle for ‘none’. Having nothing won’t hurt me as long as I put in my mind not to expect better things to come. I’m actually also a suicidal person though I have that ‘ALL’. I have ‘my family’, ‘friends’ and I do go to school. But being with them sometimes makes me uncomfortable and such. My family do abused me: name it, they’ve done it to me with an exception of sexual abuse. I wanted to have that ‘none’ for I know that having it means I still could earn something. Having none means, I could still make decisions for my self making it all right. I’ve been wanting to have that none for I want to internalize how does being lonely feel and If I could really survive being one and then I’ll think of loving myself first before anything else because we couldn’t be dependent to the people around us forever. I, We, need to stand on my, Our, foot first and look for the way where my, Our, life are leading US on. I need to stand on my feet and seek for the path where I could found my true me, and you could also do it. Maybe in that way, you and I will meet the right person while on our walking to that path. We need to find ourselves first before settling on a decision that will make us like POOF: Gone. Suit yourself while I suit mine. We still need to find the right path. Good Luck and God Bless you Buddy.
Thanks for your thoughts! I wish you only the best.
