every day is so hard and i don’t want to be here much longer (tw)

[cat19751]

i struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. i seriously cannot see things ever getting better. i’m either not believed or not cared about and i’m so tired of fighting so hard for absolutely nothing. i think about suicide all the time. i put the absolute most into my relationships and make sure no one feels difficult emotions alone. but then i’m alone. no one ever thinks about me. i feel like i’ve just been forgotten my entire life. i’ve attempted suicide 6 times.

I think many of us feel like that at times on here. Not enough people seem to care about lots of us. I would say continue to post on here and perhaps look for helpful sites or groups online

I would hazard a guess that you are a 'people pleaser' who has been taught to put everyone else above yourself? Not a criticism if you are but it is very common when people say things like you have and I have seen it a lot on here.

There are a lot of users in the world who will latch on to anyone who is prepared to be kind and to listen. They are attracted to you and everyone like you.

You need to work on being able to put yourself first when you need to. It doesn't mean you are no longer a nice person or that you are selfish but you will attract better people towards you when you take yourself and your own needs seriously.

And if you are happier then those around you who love you will automatically be happier too. It's self preservation.

Excelllent Advice you gave. I suffer from "PPS," (People Pleasing Syndrome)! Wish I had known Years ago that putting oneself first is NOT selfish --it's called "Healthy Selfishness!"

[Weatherwoman in reply to hypercat54]
