One of the saddest, hardest moments of your life will be when you are crying and screaming to the world pleading for a sign.

A sign that you should stay alive for one more day, maybe a couple of days.

But that sign doesn’ t come. You stare at your phone thinking maybe someone will answer or someone will text you asking if you’re okay. You search endlessly for some reason to stay alive but you can’t find any.

That is probably the most heartbreaking moment when you can’t find any reason to stay alive when you need it most because you suddenly feel all this pain and you feel more alone than you’ve ever felt in your entire life.

That moment will break you and I don’t wish it on even my worst enemies.

Do people understand that when you say “I’m tired” it doesn’t mean “I didn’t get enough sleep last night” or “I need more physical energy”?

It means I am drained. I have been fighting through each day just to wake up and do it again. I am tired of existing in a world where everything feels like a struggle and nothing feels right. I am tired of fighting negative thoughts. I am tired of waking up.

Having mental health struggles is already exhausting, but having too much empathy on top of that just breaks you in quiet ways. You carry pain that isn’t even yours, overthink every word, and feel responsible for fixing things you didn’t even break. It’s like bleeding from your own wounds while trying to bandage everyone else’s. I don’t know if anyone else feels like this, but if you do… I see you.

I have nobody I can talk to. Nobody who actually gets it. Nobody who is self aware. Nobody who won’t judge me or betray what I say. It’s one of the most crushing parts of this. It’s not just being alone. It’s trying to talk and it landing flat. Feeling worse after. Starting to think there’s no point in reaching out at all.

I have what I have, and I am happy. I’ve lost what I’ve lost, and I am still happy.

“You want me to absolve you of your guilt. You want me to say it was all fine and I’m not hurt anymore. But I can’t, and I won’t. You hurt me, and you don’t want to change. You just want to make yourself feel better about it.”
