I want to throw myself in the river.

I struggle with this all the time. Today is just really bad. I got into a fight with a family member who makes me feel like I'm not good enough. I yelled at them. They shoved me. It's a long story. Everyday is a struggle to want to exist. How am I supposed to want this when everyone tells me I need to do better?

I wish I was dead.

Never wish you were gone from this earth because of what others say to you.

Their actions and words are on their shoulders. Don't take it upon your own.

We should never try to be what others want us to be for their own sake.

Your Life, Your Choices. We accept you just the way you are. I'm glad you are

we all have fall outs with family members thankfully most aren`t too serious. no one really wishes to be dead in reality they wish for better times ahead and with a bit of support and effort during your struggles the better times might not be that far away.

I feel you; I was, am, and probably will forever be in a similar situation with my family and my struggle with life. All I can say is that this isn't a new struggle, and you are not alone in this struggle either.For the poetess:

Resumé, by Dorothy Parker, 1926

Razors pain you;

Rivers are damp;

Acids stain you;

And drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren’t lawful;

Nooses give;

Gas smells awful;

You might as well live.

~~~~~~~~

I know it's hard; go easy on yourself.

I'm so sorry. Family can be the worst - I get it, I'm struggling about mine right now too. They know how to get under our skin. I hope you can find some relief and peace soon.
