I feel so bad. I feel empty. I don’t know what the purpose for me living is. The only reason I haven’t killed myself yet is because my parents would be very sad if I died. But why should I just keep living because of them? After all, they’re part of the reason I want to kill myself. I just don’t know what to do.

We all hit this at more than one point in our lives, maybe in the span of a year, month, week, or a couple of days. I have contemplated and taken into account my parents, when they really are the reason I am who I am today. A mess of a person really, but still me. That’s really all it comes down to. Live for yourself, not your parents. Despite your parents, you are a human with a life ahead of themselves. I don’t know exactly how old you are, but guessing, you have jobs, a family, adventures, new music to discover, new food to make, new people to meet and so much more ahead of you. And taking a guess, those are experiences you want to have, so live for that. Live for the future you, that’s really all we can do. Your parents are going to be in your life for all of it, but they only control you for the beginning. You still have so many years ahead of you that are truly yours, don’t forget that.
Tell us more about the reasons if you know them.
