No one gets me. I live just to die. I don't see a point in living. My parents don't get it. When i'm bringing up questions about death or suicide, they think i'm just asking normal teen questions. When i ask to see a therapist cos i'm worried that i will do something i will regret, they think i'm joking. At this point i'm reaching out for help. What am i meant to do when everyone around me doesn't get me? The way i think is different and unique. I don't want to change that however my perspective on death is worrying. I see it as a way out. If i'm ever sad my first thought is death. Whenever i'm stressed my first thought is death. But i don't get why. I mean, we all die eventually so i don't see an issue with suicide. It's your way of escaping. In fact it's my way of escaping and i feel like when things get too much i may need to escape. I'm not saying i will now however the thought never goes. It tends to make me sad but i guess i am just being a teen. Sorry i just really needed to rant anonymously xo

i am so sorry that you are in that situation with your parents, and i unfortunately don't know how to help. but i can assure you that death is not a way out. i won't say "its a permanent solution to a temporary problem" because i know that's super cliche and honestly doesn't help when people say that. however, i know that if you are alive, you have a purpose. It may be large, it may be small, but you make an impact on someone somehow. death takes away your ability to fulfill that purpose. you have so much life ahead of you. there are going to be ups and downs, no doubt, but i hope that the good outweighs the bad. yes, we all die eventually, but suicide cuts short the limited amount of time we have. you won't be able to experience the ups in life, whether they are tiny pleasures or large periods of time. i am sorry that it feels like too much sometimes, but i promise that someone you know cares. I care. if you are able to, maybe try and save some money each month to afford online counseling for yourself. if not, i just hope you remember that i love you, i understand you, and i care.
ReplyThank you, your words make a great impact and the reason i still live is to find some happiness but your words have reassured me. I appreciate everything you have said and usually i am the one helping people however it feels amazing to feel loved even if it is by anonymous!
Replyhey... death will come to you eventually, but why do you wanna walk towards it yourself?
this life is the only life you get, your only chance...
even if the world seems like it is falling apart, this time will end someday!
you and me, we are same in some way, i feel that nobody gets me.. my parents, or friends, or siblings NOBODY AT ALL ...but still i find hope in myself and my art .
you should also try to find reasons to get through this ! and most important believe in your self!
you are a strong person! i believe in you and in hope for the future!
ReplyThank you so much! And we are more similar than you think... art is the way i cope and express how i feel. I also understand where you are coming from however my mind occasionally feels too open and stuck in its ways. I'm trying to make a change however life always throws new curbs my way haha.
