I don't think I matter as a person. I know I reach out on here but I feel it's a waste of time. I have no ambition to live but I can't go through with suicide, I'm just stuck watching the world go as I sit sad. I just wish I was never born.

Oh dear...

I'm so sorry you feel this way. You do matter! Have you told your therapist that you feel this way?

I don't know how to bring it up or if it will change anything.

Tell her what you post above. I think it sums things up, don't you?

It takes courage to reach out. It helps to drop the weight. Tell someone. What do you have to lose ?

I've spoken to my therapist about some of this but I have no family or anyone I would tell it would just make it worse

in reply to Llama00

It evolves...it changes....I understand if maybe you are in a situation with no support but you have support here and elsewhere if you seek it. You don’t have to be the only one thinking of death and despair. Many of us have been there before. Some of us for a very long time. ❤️🙏

Thank you - it’s just soo unreal so unfair & painful I’ve had her soo long since a tiny sweet puppy and she’s the best dog dog ever- cutest personality cutest doggy- don’t knw how can I do life now???? She was supposed to live soo many more yrs with me

in reply to hurtingheart1

I'm so very sorry for your loss! You know, when we lost the dog I grew up with, I made a scrapbook. I asked my mom for all pictures of Buddy and made a scrapbook. It spanned his whole life, from puppyhood to old age.

That’s a really beautiful thing to do!! I’m really not sure I’m ready to do anything like it yet but maybe sometime if it could help I’ll try remember your idea thank you

in reply to hurtingheart1

You're welcome. Oh sure, I totally understand!! An idea for only when you're ready, of course. It might help you to remember the good times you've had. I had lots of fun putting it together. It jogged lots of happy memories. I remember pasting a couple pictures of Buddy helping me pack for college, for example.

Also, your fur-baby is not sick or hurting in heaven. She is having fun running and jumping with the other dogs.

in reply to hurtingheart1

Ha! Love that!!😂

My husband and I had a dog named Jenny. She was the first dog we had as a couple. She is memorialized in a nice picture frame with her paw print in clay. She loved food, so guess where her picture is? In the kitchen next to the food shelf.

Llama00 in reply to Shilpa08

I'm told I have to be strong a lot but I don't see why. No matter if I'm weak or strong my life is terrible.

Mary-intussuception in reply to Llama00

Why is it so terrible?

Are you unable to change your situation?

Are you unable to move out?

I guess you can't find a job?

Llama00 profile image
Llama00 in reply to Mary-intussuception

No job, no friends, never been close to my family and I dont want to change that. When I had a job I was still so miserable I quit, I'm also unable to move out. There's nothing in my life that I like.

Oh no. You seem stuck in depression too. I completely understand. You are worth everything. Keep hope. We need to keep hope.

Llama00 in reply to Dolphin80

I have no hope at all that my life will change.

Dolphin80 in reply to Llama00

Oh no!! Are you taking meds?

Llama00 profile image
Llama00 in reply to Dolphin80

I just started almost 2 weeks ago.

Mary-intussuception profile image
Mary-intussuception in reply to Llama00

Could you be experiencing side effects of the new meds?

Llama00 profile image
Llama00 in reply to Mary-intussuception

Nothing's changed I always feel this way even before the meds.

in reply to Llama00

Hey Llama,

I hear you using words like "nothing" and "never". I think this is what CBT (or is it DBT?) calls "Black or White" thinking. With this kind of thinking it's either this way or that way; there is no room for grey words like "some things" or "sometimes". How about working on thinking in some greys? Life is seldom black and white; there are always greys. Your therapist can help you with this if you'd like to work on this (again, this is just a suggestion).

CBT, if you're not familar with it, stands for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attempts to change how we think about things, situations, etc. DBT stands for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and attempts to change our inner dialogue.

She's told me about cent before but last time I was there I started emdr therapy. There isn't any grey areas in my life I'm always alone and sad. The only change is how sad I am at the time.

in reply to Llama00

I've heard about that from my mom. She found it helpful. I hope you do as well. Good luck with it!

I have bad depression. But I’m going to force myself to do things.

Hi- You do matter. Please talk to your therapist and mention to him/her about how you exactly feel. I hope you will get the help you need to stay strong. I’m so sorry you are having a rough time. Feel free to share anytime.

Online support groups can help you to feel less lonely. One of my sisters was diagnosed with anxiety and she got better through counselling and a support group. I hope you will feel better soon. I pray for God’s peace and comfort to surround you.

Keep us posted, we are here for each other.

Llama00 in reply to pink318

I'll try to tell her how I feel. I dont know how much it'll help.

Can you remember the last time you were truly happy? Even if it’s just a moment?

What were you doing in that moment?

Llama00 profile image
Llama00 in reply to

No I can't remember ever being truly happy.

Truth is -

You do matter.

Llama00 in reply to Mary-intussuception

I just don't agree. Thanks for being kind though.

Mary-intussuception profile image
Mary-intussuception in reply to Llama00

Why don't you agree? What happened to make you feel like this? Do you want to talk about it?

All Life is Precious

You are Precious

Just my entire life, I've never thought I mattered and it's true. Home, school, anywhere.
