I have been sobbing on and off all day, alone in my bedroom. I am a horrible person. I want to die. I don’t know if I can make it any longer. Please someone help me get through this week, because I honestly don’t know if I can. Please help.
I don’t know how to respond because I’m not a very…ahem…helpful person. I don’t know if it helps that I’m posting cyber-sympathy a million miles away. Probably doesn’t help you.
However, I’ll be so so sorry if you can’t make it through this week. You know what? If I stub my toe sometime this week, that means the earth has gained another soul called velveteennightingale, and I’ll cry a lot and be very sad.
I like your name btw, very lovely.
I hope someone else posts something more helpful and beneficial, as my posts are incoherent and unneeded. But your post sounded really distressing. I hope you’re still here, otherwise I’ll be screaming f-bombs because my toe is a bloody mass of ground beef.
I agree your name is nice…very soothing sounding…but you are obviously a mess. You are not a horrible person I bet….just made a big mistake maybe? I know what’s like to sob and not be able to hold it back or stop it but it’s ok to let it out. It’s actually healthier than keeping the emotion bottled up inside. It’s the bodies natural response to stress and how it releases it. What has you feeling so negative about yourself and sobbing like this?
I do appreciate what you said, so thank you so much. And I have made MANY mistakes and I also just hate me-my personality, what I look like, how I feel. I hate that I push people away, that I am not good enough in any way, I hate that every day is a struggle and that nothing is worth anything. I am a horrible person…AND very sad :|.
Look, you gonna have to let go of the self judgement.
We.
Are.
All.
Flawed.
I’m fairly confident if I scraped the highs and lows of your life together and told you it was the story of my life, you’d compliment the highs and tell me the lows aren’t that bad.
You.
Are.
Not.
A.
Horrible.
Person.
Sure, you’ve made mistakes. Sure, you may be off to a bad start in your life. Many many many many people have done the same, yet they came back from it. There was no magic wand. There was no miracle. It was all good ole fashioned taking one day at a time and taking care of themselves.
You can do this, too.
I’ve met alcoholics that have wrecked cars. Drug addicts that have neglected their children. Republicans that have voted for Trump. Many came back from that. Accepted their faults. Vowed to do better. One day at a time.
You can do this, too.
To be able to get through this week all you need to do is get through today, then repeat.
To get through this day all you need to do is get through this hour, then repeat.
