I want to kill myself so that someone would atleast comfort me and hug me. | I know it’s pathetic to actually try to kill yourself just so you can get someone’s attention.

Life feels so empty, meaningless and boring | Life feels so empty and meaningless. I feel guilty because my life isn't bad at all. I have little to no struggles.

Suicidal ideation lead me to finding my endgame. | I rarely sleep and so I'm usually awake trying to find the motivation to do something, anything but I cant.

Thoughts on maintaining your friendships during extended periods of (literally) disabling clinical depression? | Asked a similar question in another (non-mental health focused) sub; lots of lovely replies, along the lines of "I'd like to think my friends can tell me anything"; recommendations to seek therapy, etc.

Just need to rant on the internet | I’ve gotten to the point where I realize no one cares. No one cares when I’m sad. No one cares when I’m mad. No one cares about anything I say.

I cannot be helped. | No amount of TikTok, Instagram, religion, spirituality, pep talk, socialising, talking about my feelings, school work, crying, YouTube, Netflix, reading books, cooking and baking, watching TV, sleeping, eating, going out with friends, drama, activities will ever help me. I cannot stand my mother right now, she makes me... | 2 |

“You’re like a dark cloud … | … I can feel it. We all feel it. When you come home. When you get in the car. I just want to get away from you.”

Everywhere I look I am inferior | No matter where I look, everyone is better than me at everything. I know what you are thinking: stop comparing and focus on your own growth.

I cannot find happiness anymore..... | I own a golden retriever named Charlie. Life was so fun once I got him. I never felt low when he is around.

I don't feel comfortable confiding to friends | After confiding to a few friends about trauma and getting laughed at or hearing their shitty opinions on my trauma. It's not worth it to talk to people about that stuff. It makes me feel more shame and embarrassment. So, I'm starting to keep things to myself.

I’m done with it. From now on I’m putting as muc... | 3 |
