Just the people who say in threads like this that they care are also the ones ignoring pm's, sometimes for weeks, it's fake af how about you actually ignore me unless you're willing to spend time to listen to me and comfort me

(you as in general, you actually do reply me and I appreciate that a lot)

Everyone means well here. That's why this forum was made. And I am sure if you talk others will listen. It is what this thread was made for in the end. We all feel insecure sometimes, there is nothing like a great cup of conversation to fix that.

As marko said, we all mean well. We want to help you but I'm sorry if you feel ignored or that we aren't living up to our promises.

People choose to be your friend because they want to be. You’re brave,kind and all the things you say you’re not,you are. c: even if some leave you. We’re here to stay. You’re a wonderful person who’s trying to even be more open. You’ve grown and come far. It’s okay to feel doubts and fear but know people really do care. I’m glad you’re my friend,and like others feel,too. We’re gonna stick with you through it all even when you feel down,or feel hyper c: You’re more than good enough. You’re a blessing and you’ve made many friends. You’ve stood up for them too. You’re like a rare Pokémon and shiny : O. Thank you for existing. You really are good enough because you’re more than good enough. Least to me xd

You are more than enough, and if people are your friends, they saw something in you that they liked~ You're amazing, and tbh every time I see you post it always makes me happy because you're so cool, chill, and funny c:

There never seems to be a right decision these days, it's always what will hurt me less, what will hurt the people I love less. Giving up something I really wanted in life is so hard, I don't want to sometimes, but I know I might have to

Sometimes there's not a clear answer to our problems, and every option we consider will always have consequences, both good and bad. Do what's best for you to create the life you want to live in, and it's up to ourselves to understand what our priorities are. There are times we have to choose paths and we have to make difficult decisions. We have to give up things or lose people, but it's part of growth. Going through these times where everything seems wrong and decisions seem impossible is normal, and you will get through it~ Take care, and do what's best for yourself as sometimes "right" just isn't option. Trust yourself. I believe in you : )

I can try to act cheery all I want but I know I'm living so I don't cause pain to my family, who are more important to me than myself. I'm far beyond even seeing one good thing about myself, there is really nothing I can say. I don't know what I want, because I wake up wishing I was never born in the first place everyday and go through my days laughing at small things. I never really minded being that person who people just look at when they need something. When you called me a few days ago, all I could think of was how much it hurt that you were only calling me to tell me your problems. I'm not even that second place person who wants to be first place, I'm always that last resort and in the past, I welcomed the idea of being someone to comfort others. I still do but the thought is in the back of my mind, I want to cry. I feel so lonely. I want to be hugged. I want that someone too, it's ironic that I hate myself but am looking for someone just like me. I settled for being that person because I knew I'd never be normal. I'm just nice Bina. Good advice Bina. Happy Bina. Tryhard Bina. Fake Bina. Cold Bina. I'll never shine in any kind of way because I'm not beautiful, I'm not smart, I'm hard to be close with, I'm distant, I'm nothing special. I'm that person on the sideline who is too focused on wanting to jump in the water instead of admiring the view and it hurts that this isn't even a metaphor, it's actually how I feel everytime I'm given the opportunity to see how I can potentially kill myself. Whether I'm with people or by myself, this doesn't stop. Whether it's a good day or a bad day, at the end of the day when everyone's asleep I cry all of a sudden because none of the happiness I pretend to have is real. No matter how many appointments I've gone to, all I do is get blamed for how I feel. No one knows how I feel. My life isn't hard, I'm just so tiring to live with. I don't even deserve my life. I wish I never existed.

How much value a person has doesnt have anything to do with how smart or beautiful they are. I dont know you very well but I know that a lot of people, look up to you because of your kindness and support for total strangers. Although things right now aren't going well for you, I hope that one day you'll find someone who will support you and help you find the happiness in your life that you deserve.

It sucks to feel like you're living a lie all the time, and that at the end of each day it finally hits you and it really hurts. At some point, even a good day isn't good, it's just better. I wish I could be there to just give you all the hugs in the world. I know it's hard to think of even one thing you like about yourself, but I sure can, and many others can as well. You're more than all these feelings you have, they don't define you. You are a hard working, smart, lovely girl and even if it doesn't feel like it, I know you are deep inside. You are beautiful, smart, and so special to me. I am so darn thankful for everything you've done for me, and I don't know if I'd be here today without you. You shine in my sky and you're going only going to shine brighter as time passes. I guess the small things are what we have to occupy ourselves on if we hate everything else. Your parents love you and they're so proud of you, and so I am. Hold onto that, even if it's just one thing. Every time you pass by water or a bridge, remember your family. I know it's hard to just want to live somedays, but you are my world and I don't know what I would do without you <3

Today,I decided to go back to the doctors and take medication for my anxiety. And go back for more checks up.
I’m wanting to work on myself more. I’m hoping one day I can live with myself and actually love my mind. Even though I’m always scared of medication even though I’ve been on 15 pills at once..I’m always scared of side effects if it’ll take me back

Medication side effects can be really scary ;-; but you deserve to get better and love yourself, I hope it works out c:

I have an unusual problem and tbh, I have no idea what to do. People come to talk to me a lot and it's very surprising that they do because.... I'm kind of a SoCal beach bum sorta a dumbass. I'm not really smart but I always treat people with dignity and respect and I listen to them best I can without judgment.

A lot of people who want to talk are struggling with depression or anxiety, sometimes even more challenging than those. My problem is that I feel so inadequate and useless to them because I can't like... help them at all. I'm not a smart professional type with a fancy degree- I'm a layperson who doesn't know anything. I also don't have depression or anxiety and I can't understand what they are going through. Talk about feeling completely unhelpful. And I care about them- it's not an act, I really do. But I'm worried because I don't get what they are feeling that somehow I could be making their pain worse.

I don't know, this is so difficult.

It’s best to be honest,but you can actually just allow them to talk and help them deal with their emotions. It is hard to understand depression,and anxiety a lot but it’s more how they’re feeling that you can help with that to understand how they’re feeling. Just talk to them about their day,and ask if anything made them feel a bit nervous and tell them to breathe calmly and do short intake of breathe. Not always does someone have to have anxiety to understand it,or depression. Just when a presence is enough for someone where they want to speak to you about it which is already enough for someone who has depression or anxiety. They both just make you feel really down and heavy. You’re constantly a bit scared you may mess up and push someone away. Just be honest you do want to help them,but allow them to vent and tell them to breathe or find hobbies and let them talk c: sometimes that’s enough for depression and anxiety types because that’s how we get help. We just talk and want you to understand we’re hurting and want people there

My only strength that I have to give them is love- that's all I know. I hope it's enough because I worry so much about saying the wrong thing that sometimes I wanna run. However, the one thing I do NOT do is abandon anyone, especially if they are hurting.

Honestly... As someone who struggled a lot, therapy never helped even a bit... So it's not like you need a fancy degree in order to help someone, what you need is a heart. I can't speak for all clients but I can tell when someone cares or just tries to convince themselves they're a good person.
You won't hurt someone by not saying the right thing, you will hurt someone by walking away when they already feel like no one gives a damn about their existance. If you really don't know what to say, then don't, just listen and comfort them, give them a hug or make them laugh.

 

[Eden]

My only strength that I have to give them is love- that's all I know

Love saved my life, even if it's temporary, it saves me everytime.

Don't feel bad about that being your "only" strenght when it's the most powerful thing a human being can possess
