These past couple days, I’ve been feeling a bit better overall, but now I’m being reminded of something that stings me deep within my heart. Every time I tell my parents or any family member about my sadness, nobody cares. It’s not the type of neglect and negligence you would think, because they do sit and hear me out. But all they’ll do is state all of my problems (problems that I’m very aware of) and proceed to tell me to “get better” “you gotta get yourself out of this.” I’m so tired… all my mom wants to do is throw me in a hospital because she’s tired of dealing with me. Y’know how much that hurts? My mom…probably one of the only people I have in this world. I talked to her today, and guess what she did. She got up and walked away…saying “I’m tired.” What am I supposed to do? Literally what is wrong with me? I stay up all night thinking what is wrong with me, what I can do better the next day, and that shit never works. It literally never ever works. And all people see is how pathetic, how bitter, how annoying and nonsensical I am and collaboratively agree that I’m some nuance and a waste of time. I want to get better… I know what things I’ve done and mistakes I’ve made. But all I am is reminded of what hurts me, what happened, why I’m the horrible person…when I just want to know how to fix myself. I want somebody to tell me. I’m just so tired of being alive. Being alone. It seems like not a soul in this world is going to care about me. I’m “too much” and “people have tried everything.” Maybe I will just take my life.

    Hoping you’re still here. It doesn’t sound like you have the best people in your life right now. Our dad is like that too. He gets tired and stops listening, and doesn’t know how to help, so he does it badly. Those people want to help, but they have no clue how, so they give terrible advice. Don’t wait for them to learn. Find people that already know. A lot of people who have been struggling for years with mental heath and are starting to get better are the perfect people to help. You’re in the right place. We’d consider ourselves one of those people. Also, humans are pack animals. Humans are not meant to “pull themselves up by their own bootstraps”. They’re meant to seek others for help. Keep looking for those people, they exist. Your mom probably doesn’t understand how bad hospitals are. She thinks they’re the magic pill to fix it all. Magic pills don’t exist, and it sucks. Don’t go to a hospital unless you feel like you can’t survive any second longer. We just got out of a hospital, and unless you are in desperate need of people watching you, don’t go. The healthcare system is bad with mental health crisises. Wishing you luck with everything. Keep going, and keep looking for those people who want to help. They’re out there. We’re one of them.
