Worthless

[Lindsey14]

Sometimes i feel like im worthless and all my friends and family would be better off if i never existed. I feel like im a pain. I feel like I weigh everyone down.

I feel like this too.. because of my anxiety and derealisation I can't work or go to school and my boyfriend has pretty much gone from my partner to my caretaker... Sucks. However the people that really love you will never see you as a burden

Lindsey14,

You are not worthless. You are a wonderful creation. I imagine it is not fun when you feel as if your family or friends do not make you feel appreciated. It can be very difficult. Perhaps a counselor can help you connect with your family in a different way. I imagine that if they knew how you are feeling, they would help you. Perhaps you have told them how you are feeling, and maybe they have not responded. It is possible that they aren't meaning to ignore you. The counselor's at Focus on the Family are confidential and are good at helping people connect and get the help they need. You can reach them at 855-382-5433 Please call someone, you are not worthless. If you don't want to call focus on the family, please call the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

Lindsey, your current state doesn't say anything about you. You're not a burden. Let yourself feel this way. Don't feel guilty. Instead say thank you to people who love you and support you. You will be able to be their support than they will need it.

The popular Western belief states Everything's in our hands ( which is true overall) but it leads us to take control of everything in our life. And this contradicts the essence of life.

Just accept the reality as it is. It will change. Believe me!

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling worthless right now. I'm wondering if something happened in your life recently to make you feel this way. The last time I felt really bad like this was about six years ago when my ex-husband would not let me see my kids at Christmas time. I tried to end my life and woke up in the hospital feeling very remorseful and grateful to have survived my suicide attempt. Nobody wanted me out of the way like I thought at the time. Everyone in my family was glad that I was still alive. Sometimes negative thoughts can come in and take over the mind even though they have no basis in the truth. It is important at times like these to focus on the positive things in life and remain grateful for what is good. Sometimes just by communicating our concerns with our loved ones, we can find out that they really do care a lot more than we realize. It may help to talk to a pastor at your local church about how you have been feeling. I hope you feel better soon. I will be praying for you.

Low self-esteem is the result of maybe underlying issues we have. I have gained my self-worth and self-esteem after 56 years. It is mine and I will never let anyone or anything take it from me. You are not a burden. Our mind will play games with us. Do not let depression or anxiety to make you feel this way. I lived that lie from within the mind for 56 years. I have found my self-worth and it is mine. You be strong and you are not a burden believe me. Do not let the mind confuse you and play its crazy games. FIGHT AND YOU WILL WIN.
