“I hate myself” is probably one of the most common three words a teenager says. I’m tired of hating myself. I’m tired of having headaches, overthinking situations and putting myself down. I’m tired of hiding because I’m afraid to be looked at. People call me attractive, yet I don’t feel the same. I want to feel pretty, I want to stop being angry whenever my friends get help. I want to stop being selfish whenever my friends leave me out. I want to stop the urge to tell people what I’m going through. I hate myself for it all and it’s so frustrating I just want to kill myself and end all the suffering.

Dip the part of your head where most people have hair into an ice bath for five minutes and tell me you don't feel better. I'm a bipolar and the doctor says it helps slow down my synapses. It really helps with my mouth tic and stimming as well
ReplyI’ve never heard of that before. I’ll have to try it
ReplyHey, I feel you. I was also super tired of struggling. People said I "wasn't ugly" and "aren't fat" but I just didn't believe them you know? Sadly it's what mental illness does. I was where you're at, wanting to die, about 2 years ago. I still struggle sometimes, but that's okay. It's okay to struggle and to feel awful, because if you have mental illness it's inevitable. I know this is over said, and you've definitely heard it before, but it will get better. Eventually, something will change. You just have to keep your head up until then, you got it? I'm proud of you for making it this far. :)
ReplyThank you so much for the support
ReplyI feel you, I honestly do. Killing your self isn’t the answer I promise you. It’s not worth it. Think of all the hurt that your family and friends will go through when you’re gone. I deal with not liking the way I look too. I’ve struggled with it for years and to be honest I still do lol. I just learned that you just have to love the way you look. It takes a long fucking time but trust me it’ll be worth it when you get that confidence when you look in the mirror and be like “fuck yeah, I like the way I look”. I relate a lot with you especially with the overthinking part to the point where I breakdown sometimes. What I always tell myself and my friends who go through the same thing is that it always gets better, it has to. Stay alive, trust me, life gets better ❤️

Replyim going through a lot as well and sometimes it feels like all hope is lost but i have realized that when i keep going and trudge through that there will always be a moment where i think that this is worth living for. i totally get when your friends leave you out and it really sucks but im here if you ever need someone to talk to and you should never put yourself down for wanting to talk to someone because in my experience that is the best thing you can do to help yourself and it is not selfish to feel worthy of help and kindness.
ReplyI agree
ReplyI Really felt what you wrote, i do o feel the same...i was belittled my entire life and although people were calling me "pretty" i couldn't believe them, i thought they weren't honest with me... i really needed time and effort to change my thinking, try to think what do you like specific about your charakter or what body part do you actually like...little things like that, or try being in public and start slowly asking people when you're buying something, i was at that point too, you can do it...you'll see after some time your thinking changes because you realize it isn't that bad at all!
ReplyI see you're getting the support you need so I'll drop my support as well. Rock on
Replyif anyone finds this post nearly a year later, i’m doing better than i ever had before. keep your head up and keep telling yourself you’re that bitch.
ReplyI usually end up coming back every now and again to see how everyone is. Hearing this, even if it is a few months later, makes it worth the effort. Glad you're killing it out there and rock on
