Useless in the world

[Lindsey14]

Why do i exist? Sometimes I feel I'm so useless and worthless. Like I'm just a big broken mess. I don't feel like I have a purpose. Like it almost be better if i wasn't born.

Lindsey hang in there. I hear you and know how you feel. Keep telling yourself that this will pass. Don't listen to those lies.

I have felt exactly like you at least once or twice this week. I was so sick of it i've gone out and drove all around the city without any destination. Then i stopped to buy some stuff, seen some people, eat something. I came back better and feeling a little more motivated. I think i was getting all those feelings for being too much alone at home. These thoughts and feelings are not permanent, don't worry. You can get better.

The first thing to say is that you are not useless or worthless. It's very common to feel like that if you have depression, but it isn't real, it's just the illness talking. I had the same experience, I was convinced it was all real, but looking back it was clearly my mind playing tricks.

The people who really are worthless, the people who commit crimes and that sort of thing, they're completely different. You don't hurt people the way they do, clearly.

Purpose is a more difficult one. I don't think it's easy to say what anyone's purpose is. Do you believe in God? I'm not saying you should or you shouldn't, but you might find some answers there if you do believe. If you don't then probably no one has a purpose as such, but there is still meaning to be found in day-to-day life. Time spent with hobbies, friends, achieving personal challenges; those kinds of things are meaningful even if our lives don't have an overall purpose.

Hi Lindsey,

There are some Lies that depression tells anyone who has it: you are Useless, no one Loves you, you are Worthless, you have no Purpose, no one is your Friend.

Do any of these lies sound familiar??? Ever heard them from some other depressed person yet??? You will!!!! PLEASE!!!! When you hear one of these Lies coming out of your mouth, STOP! realize you are repeating a Lie not from your own brain but from Depression!!! WHY would you want to do that??? It's no good!!! It's not true!!! How about you write these down and every time you start to say or even think one of these you stop and see it on the list and never let it come off of your lips again!!! You would start to feel better because you would stop believing in the Lies of this bad illness!! This alone would be a drug free way to feel a whole lot better!! A no cost way to improve the way you feel!!

PLease feel better by believing the truth and no more Lies!!

Hugs and Love..🌸💐❤️💝🥰🌷

To echo my sweetie (BonnieSue) & my good friend, (Anxiety59), first of all you need to take charge of your life and be the one in control. Don't let your depression and anxiety tell you anything. Instead you can tell yourself: I am special, there is only one of me in all of existence! Because of my uniqueness I am worth more than the most valuable jewel in the universe! When your mind tries to say anything else, you will know it's a lie. We, here at H/U believe in you and have faith you can rise above your problems. Plus, we will stand by you as you do! I'm wishing you a jumbo jet load of caring hugs + I'll pray for you too!

Hello Lindsey,

There was a point in my life when I was searching for my purpose. I felt like waking up everyday with no purpose is useless. I was struggling alone. I used to be so quiet that I did not want to open up my feelings even to my husband. I was sad. But through prayer and listening to sermons, I learned that God loves me and He created me to do something for Him. I learned through that experience that I should not struggle alone. There are people who cares for me, all I need is to open up to someone I can trust.

I’m very sorry to hear that you feel this way. I want you to know that you are not useless and worthless. We are all created with a purpose. You may not see it now but sooner or later you will experience it. Don’t go through this journey alone. Talk to someone you can trust and will encourage you. Please stay strong. I pray that you will overcome and all will be well with you. Please keep us posted. May God’s peace and strength be upon you.
