No matter what I am doing these thoughts persist. I try to distract myself. I try to think about other things. No matter who I’m with, what I’m doing, time of day… I’m tired and I feel gone. If that makes sense.

I try distracting myself too when i down. It completly makes sense because i used to feel like that too. But you just have to try find one thing that will tale you out of the darkness. For me it was drawing 🙂 so i drew all the time on everything and it made me happy. Just try find one thing that makes you the littlest bit happy and it will grt better from there 🙂
Thank you. I have tried many things. Maybe I just haven’t found the right thing yet. I don’t know what else to try. I am so frustrated, sad, and I feel out of control because of this.
Well it makes 100% sense to me! Distraction seems to be what life is made up of. Not happy with something so we do something else until we are distracted from what we want to be distracted from. I think a common misconception is confusing ‘distract’ with ‘forget’. Distracting can take your mind of something and it’s a great way to cope, especially in crisis, but we have to remember the issue at hand can not be forgotten. I’m tired, and I don’t feel gone . . . I just am gone. Distractions keep me alive, and the hopelessness comes when i can’t forget what i need to.
That is exactly it. Distractions keep me alive, and the hopelessness comes when when there are no more distractions. But even while I’m “distracted” I still think about it. I don’t know why. I am so exhausted and I can’t get rid of the sadness.
