Confession

I’m dating with a man, he says he love me and wants to be with me, he even went to my house and talk with my parents ( first time experience something like that) but I think he is lying like why would someone wants to be with me? I don’t have friends, I’m boring, I’m not normal, I’m not like the typical girls, I don’t even know what to talk,my mind became blank when I talk with him, I’m pretty such he find me boring, I cut myself, I have anxiety and depression,  there’s no way he’s saying the true, who the hell wants to be with a loser like me. It has to be something,  I don’t know maybe he is using me, maybe is a bet, maybe he feels bad for me and he is dating because he feels pity for me, maybe he feels obligated because I have help him with some money, I don’t know it has to be something there is no way a man with falls in love with a loser like me. Just waiting for everything fall apart, too good to be true.  Sorry my english. -------------------- Your english was great, dont worry one bit <3

I highly doubt that someone is doing this to you in an attempt to harm you. You are selling yourself short and its not okay. It sounds like youre struggling here and that isnt okay. Negative self talk like this doesnt help your state of mind. I know what you mean though, Ive had those feelings and thoughts before too... but at the same time, your beauty is in their eyes, they see what they love about you. YOU are worthy of love, and you deserve it.

The only reason I'm alive right now is I can't face dealing with my mom if I try and fail. I don't want to get better; I just want to stop caring about my mom and sisters long enough to get out. I know I should get help. I'm just not sure if I'd be honest about how bad it is, and it feels like a waste of money. I feel like a waste of a person, and I just want to be done.

Hey there Anon.

Im very sorry youre feeling this way. It sucks, doesnt it?  Feeling this way and wanting to just get out and be over and done with it all. I know youre probably not wanting to hear this, but if you can get some help in any way, please please do. I want you here and around. And so does your mom. If you cant get official care please feel free to message me and just vent. Thats fine too!Sometimes its nice to just talk, even if its to a stranger. 

I hope youre feeling okay today, or at least safe.

<3

No matter how dark you may be feeling right now, no matter how low you may get, have faith in yourself that you can get better, because if you believe you can get better…

YOU.

WILL.

So i have some issues with this guy, he is currently trying to get hack with his ex Girlfriend and i have mixed feelings about him and he always gives me mixed signals and i just break down everytime we kind of fight (him indirecting to me in a nice way that he only loves me like a sister) i just don’t know what to do i have felt so depressed almost the whole year. What should i do? Should i tell him what im going through or try to let go ( but i still want to be at least like his close friend)

Hey friend!

That is definitely a sticky situation and Im sorry :(

Its no good to have feelings that arent returned. If he has made it clear that he only loves you like a sister, then that is a boundary that you have to appreciate and accept. I think that trying to let it go is your best option. Maybe he can help you get through dealing with those emotions, but sometimes friendships cant make it through that. Its hard enough having those feelings, but to let them go and keep the person around is even harder. 

Thats a choice you have to make, and I am sorry that I cant help you more. If he is having that much sway over your emotions and isnt returning your feelings, maybe it is time to move on. 

Let me know if you need me or want to vent <3

Hello. I had a question. What if, no matter what you do, everyone else is so much better at everything than you? What if, no matter how hard you try, you're always stuck down while everyone else lives a happy and healthy life. I'm sorry that I had to waste your time with what I had to say, but I'm from a place where depression, social anxiety, and OCD (the ultimate trio in my life), are considered unreal and unimportant by most people, so suicide hotlines aren't really an option.

Hey there anon! Thanks for the question.

Number one, what you had to say is never a waste of time to me. Number two, suicide hotlines and crisis hotlines connect you to people outside of your local area, and even around the world. You can even call ones in other places if you need to.  If that still isnt something you want to do, there are other resources. Everyone has something they are genuinely good at, and yeah sometimes it feels like everyone is better at everything than you are and why bother because it doesnt matter then, right? But what can you do with that? Theres positivty there. Those people need support, they can teach you, they can help you. By simply being near them you will grow as well. They may seem to be happy, and healthy, but appearances are only skin deep. 

Hang in there, let me know if you need anything.
