Stop whatever you’re doing and read this. It’s important.
Okay, chances are, you’re probably on this website because you had a terrible day or worse; a terrible childhood. Or some sort of traumatic experience. But you know what the other reason for you being here is? The much bigger and more important reason? The fact that you’re alive and a sentient being.
You have free will to a certain extent. Your mental capacity is nigh on infinite. You’re a beautiful and complex person. What’s more is that you matter. You’re important. You are amazing and awesome and genuine. So don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Ignore all of those people that don’t bother reflecting on who they are. Focus on you. Because you’re what’s important. And don’t you dare forget it. You. Matter.

Yeah. Nah. Doesn’t change any of my problems. Nice try though, hopefully someone else feels inspired by it.
Some of us are here because the person most critical or destructive in our lives is us. And some of us are backed into a corner with no choices left – when someone is frozen from depression or anxiety there is no free will. In fact, sometimes there is no will at all. And the only option left is to end the pain; be it emotional, spiritual, physical or some or all of the above.
I know damn well healing starts with first loving ourselves. But when the image in the mirror spits vile and incessant vomit back in our faces day in and day out the human spirit can collapse. And when someone like me loses the will to live each breath is forced and labored. And if I could tolerate the sensation of suffocating I would stop.
I would just stop forcing my next breath.
nice sentiment. kind words
Yeah, good try. I used to think saying something like this would be a great help to who ever read it. Maybe change their lives. Then I realized that people have been abused, punished, put down, criticized, judged, made to suffer so much, for years and years, maybe their whole life. How likely is it that a paragraph, typed on a suicide website, would offset that amount of abuse?
It is a good try and keep trying. Ya never know what ignites a spark?
And then I’m confused because your previous post is “Im So Tired” which is the total opposite. Hmm…crazy.
God I’d love to believe your post. Sometimes I do…I really do think I’m worthwhile but then life and people just tell me otherwise and that’s when that dream dies…again.
People should never underestimate how they could lift someone’s spirit and how they can crush it also. Use that power wisely.
This post just made my day thanks for putting it on here
Nice post. I like the sentiments and I do hope some people are cheered by it. Personally, I agree with the others. When you are your own worst self critic and you cannot turn it off because you truly feel you are worth shit, well…it makes it hard to believe that you are worth anything.
But it was nice to see that there are some people on here have gotten better and are moving onwards (though I suppose you could have just been this way the entire time).
I think that people just need reminding of how much they matter. Sometimes you forget. Sometimes you’re burdened with so much abuse you lose sight of this. There are days when you feel this type of message is crap, and sometimes those days turn to months and sometimes even years.
I think if there were more people who reminded each other, helped each other, supported each other, we all wouldn’t hurt so much.
