The Lucky Ones

[Percyblue]

Everyone has issues in life. But why does our population, the depressed and anxious, have to carry such a heavy ball of gloom with our being? It just doesn't seem fair. I realize it's not fair that children get cancer, daughters get raped, a gay boy is bullied, etc. and those situations break my heart in pieces! But these social situations we find ourselves in where there are cheerful, upbeat, fun people in the crowd, (the Lucky Ones) makes me so much more depressed. Im jealous! I know we need these people in the world. But I feel like I have a black curtain over me. I put myself in a musical because I can sing, and I thought it would boost my confidence, but BAM!! I mess up a note or a line and I head to Depression City! And then I feel worthless and I can't handle the social situations. My family has no time to listen to me. They think this is just a pity party. So I needed to unload. Hope all of you have a sunny day today! Thanks!

I'm so sorry about the musical ordeal. I was a musician for a few years. My depression and anxiety held me back until I eventually quit. I also understand the family thing. My family doesn't understand anything and they don't listen. To them I was just sensitive and emotional and lazy.

You are not alone in your struggles, friend, and I'm here to chat if you'd like. If you need someone to vent to or you'd like some coping advice, I'm always eager to help
