I feel emotionally disconected. There is no reason for me to feel depressed or sad, because I don’t have what anyone would consider a bad life. I feel disgusting, because other people have real reasons to be sad and depressed, yet here I am. There is nothing special about me. There is no reason for anyone to extend an effort to help me out because I don’t feel like I contribute to society in the slightest. The only reason why I feel any guilt is that I do not want my few friends and my small family to feel like they failed. No one failed me. I fail myself. I am lazy and irresponsible, because I lost my will to care what happens to me. I feel like any resources to help me would be taking away from people who actually need them, so I do not reach out. I am so incredibly average or below average at everything in life. I have no connection emotionally to society or myself, if that makes any sense. I just feel sad. All the time.

I can relate to every single thing your said.. Wow
People who do did not receive the love THEY needed often take it out on themselves like you are. You are SO worthy of love, of connection, of knowing what it’s like to feel the excitement and joy of truly connecting with another person. You have real feelings. Your feelings are VALID. I want you to try and tell yourself that you are worth it because that is the truth. No one can contribute to society when they are feeling like shit themselves. It is not until we feel loved that we can love others. So my suggestion is to try and find some kind of support group for people with depression and join it. Just make that one step. You might just find one other person who you can truly connect with and that brings you a reason to feel you want to stick around a bit longer. You owe no one but yourself at this stage. Be open to receive. Say to yourself every morning even if it is impossible to say it. Say ‘I am open to receiving help and love because it IS out there’ Say it over and over again and see what happens. Am writing this to you because I care! xox
