Maybe they're right...I'm just a burden

[Steph2293]

It's been a while since I wrote something. Things are not alright and I don't know what to do anymore. The thoughts of ending the pain and guilt are more strong now. I have dreams about it...I imagine myself doing it. My mind is telling me that is the right thing to do because I'm just a burden to everyone in my family. My dad thinks that at some point I'm going to end up being crazy. My sister doesn't understand me anymore and keeps telling me that I'm a selfish person who plays the victim. Maybe they're right I didn't do anything worthy with my life. Maybe they're right I'm too old to do something. Maybe I have to end it...

How young are you ?

[Steph2293 in reply to Hidden]

I'm 24 years old

My family keeps telling me that I'm old, all days.

Your young..Can you tell me what is bothering you the most to the point to end it?

You are not a burden, you were created for a purpose. This may sound silly but I think of the movie It’s A Wonderful Life. You have touched people in your life and if you were not here or never born, those people would be missing out on how you helped shape their lives. Even the smallest act of kindness you gave someone means a lot. Take care of yourself & don’t give up.

Hi Steph

You didn't post a lot of details regarding what's bothering you but I assure you, you have a purpose. You wouldn't be here if you didn't. Try to focus on what that purpose is and go after it with everything you've got. What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing?

My 20's we're my most difficult years. For me, life started in my 30's and gets better every year. I'm 48 now and still feel young. 24 is still very young.

Suicide is permanent and not a good solution to a temporary issue:).

It took me until I was 27 to figure out what I wanted to do when I grow up. If you're not sure, pick something you enjoy and do your best at it.
