Idk anymore

[imtryn]

At the age of 17 I feel like this it. I’ve lived a full life of pain and disappointment. I don’t see a future for myself anymore 😕

I know how you feel, I’ve been there! Don’t let this get the best of you❤️ things get better just believe it will and they eventually will. You’re so strong. Don’t give up, you have a whole life ahead of you!

That’s just so hard to believe when every time I think I’m headed somewhere I’m knocked back down constantly 😪 there’s no one to talk to or to understand me

[Hidden in reply to imtryn]

That sucks. I won’t say I understand because everyone has a different journey. Depression I do understand. Last year I spent 3 weeks in a psychiatric hospital after a failed suicide attempt. So glad I failed. It is hard to have hope when life is dark. At least two people care enough to engage with your post. Is there a dr or counsellor you can reach out to?

[imtryn in reply to Hidden]

Sadly I don’t have those resources. It is a good feeling (although we don’t know each other) to know that there’s someone out there to talk to

[Hidden in reply to imtryn]

Sometimes that was enough to get me back from the edge. Isolation is so tempting but it’s also very dangerous. Avoid it like the plague

[imtryn in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much I’ll work on that

[Hidden in reply to imtryn]

Good for you. There is so much love and support out there. Just sometimes it just a matter of digging in the right place. In my journey I am constantly amazed at the amount of support people offer. Offers that are sincere and helpful.

I’m here to talk if you need someone! Don’t let this knock you down, you’re so much stronger than it and you have the power to get through it! Praying for you xo

Hey, sweetie. I am 56 and been in the place of loneliness and darkness until recently. I became Anorexic at 14 and suffered from it for forty years. I have just recently recovered. Six years into therapy and medication and still continue. I do suffer from PTSD. I take Zoloft and still continue mental therapy every 2 mths. I have walked the journey of darkness most of my life. My sexually and very physically abusive father broke me. I have put the broken pieces together and moving on. He will not destroy me again. I have faith in you. You believe in you. You reach out to us. We all have struggled or we would not be on the website. We all love you and you are very young. I want to be a friend and share any pain you are suffering. I love you and be strong. WE ARE STRONG AND SOLDIERS IN THE WORLD OF DEPRESSION AND LONELINESS. WE MUST PUT OUR ARMOR ON DAILY AND FIGHT. WE ARE HEROES AND TRUE SOLDIERS. WE WILL WIN. BELIEVE IN YOU. I BELIEVE IN YOU. I LOVE YOU.

Omg imt...you're only 17 buddy? Really? What do those of us who are much older, feel the same, what do they/we have to say?..here's one thing that 'those' could say and it would be, if we could turn back the hands of time! Do you know what I mean? Truth is, we can't! ! But you're only 17, and you still have your youth and all that precious time on your side! Please listen to that, life does pass us by all too quickly. Take care and really think about it.
