I’m 16 from a supportive family. I have a Girlfriend that treats me well and I have solid friends. But I can’t seem to take happiness from anything. I’ve planned everything to just give up and leave but I can never seem to take the last step, I really just want all of this to go away but I’ve tried everything, im ready to go, and im just looking for that one little push to tell me its time

So what is the sole reason you want to give all of this up?
I do not know you or your situation. So I am only speculating here. Going by what is written above only, I wouldn’t say finding happiness is not the issue here. I would suggest focussing more on how to more adequately utilize what happiness is already there. Does that make sense?
I’ll help:
“…I can’t seem to take happiness from anything.”
@Oni:
He can’t use what he isn’t getting from his circumstances, even if it is there to be taken.
However, i don’t see that as a “valid” reason to choose a voluntarily premature exit.
Not being happy, versus being irrevocably miserable all the time, are drastically different experiences. Misery is far worse than neutrality/apathy.
So, while this person might say “i can’t get happiness from anything…”
I would say: “i can’t get relief from my misery, from anything.”
But that’s what I’m saying. He is gelling it just not using it …. Either you misunderstood me, or I am not properly conveying what I’m thinking. It’s like looking for a drink of water in the desert while standing in a puddle of water and not realizing it. The happiness is there, it’s just not being recognized as happiness and therefore not being utilized for his need of happiness. Doesn’t need to find it. Needs to accept it. I dunno how to say it. I’m sorry.
like somebody with a headache sitting at a table with the bottle aspirin in front of them. And to get rid of this headache they want to take some aspirin. But they couldn’t open the bottle. so they want to go to the store and find another bottle of aspirin for headache.
Now what I am suggesting is first you actually realize aspirin was in front of you and try to open the bottle? And if they did try to open the bottle. Perhaps they should focus more on why they cannot open the bottle more than going to the store for another. Because once you find another bottle it might make you feel better for finding it, but if you still cannot open the bottle then it will end up just like the other bottle and be just as much use. So let’s look at why the bottle is not opening. Instead of pursuing to go to the store for another.
I hope you don’t go away. I don’t know you but I understand where your feelings are coming from as I am going through the same thing. Maybe we can chat and try to support each other to fight against these feelings. I feel like I have to pull you from the edge of the cliff.
