I never thought I would make it past 22 and yet here I am. I had thoughts when I was in middle school and I would cut myself. of course, my parents saw but they didn’t know what self-harming is. high school and college were okay for me but when covid-19 hit it really messed me up. I felt like I was in the same place in middle school: helpless, hopeless, no friends, and now I’m also unemployed. I hate that whenever someone does not write me, tell me that cannot stay, or takes longer to answer a text message or answer me shortly… always think that is because of an adverse feeling towards me
I hate my life because it is empty
I hate my life for not having friends
I hate my life because everyone underestimates me
I hate when someone gives me lessons, and I tell me what I have to do
I hate when I don’t know how to answer the people who kill my self-confidence
I hate my life for not having money so that I can become independent
I hate not either having the courage to make it(money)
I hate my life when I look in the mirror and do not like what I see
I hate my life when I see how other people have the life that I want
I hate my life for not knowing how to organize myself financially or in my things.
And I feel so ashamed and embarrassed to be in this situation because I really thought things were getting decent. I had someone to talk to on my college campus so when everything close I saw myself lose one of my resources. and now my parents lost their jobs as well and it’s scary. my parents who couldn’t hold a job, and now I feel like sabotaging my own success. my parent who believed they were unintelligent, and now I feel this way toward myself. I really planned my whole life and the epidemic (and quite honestly the lack of preparation from WHO and CDC) just destroyed everything I was looking forward to. It even took away my graduation.
But every feeling I felt and dealt with as a kid is back and it hurts because no one was there to comfort me and tell me everything is okay. And it’s sad because I feel like again no one is there to comfort me even as an adult-ish. I even thought about hurting myself again…

I’m not sure what words my latch on to you and send you moments of peace. Other than knowing my words are directed at you. Support, understanding and Love.
Someone out in this world hears you. You must be a strong person to endure what you have.
May a bridge find you that you may walk across and find a new.
