Hi there I am stuck in a life I wish would end. Everday I look in the mirror and try to find a reason to be here. To this day I cant find it. In fact I feel like I have hurt everyone around me and I wish that i could just dissappear. I have used alcohol,I have cut myself and overdosed on painkillers to ease the pain. But it doesnt work. I just dont know who I am and I dont know how to handle my problems and now I feel so weak and so tired that i just want the pain to end. Can someone help me.
Markcno, I am so glad you found us here at MT. There are lots of people here who have felt exactly like you including me. Just so you know, you might get more responses if you post up in the general section. I am so sorry you are feeling so bad. I know that depression can make you feel there's no point in going on, but there is. Life can get better. It honestly can. I'm wondering if you have seen a doctor or more specifically a psychiatrist. You have an illness. this isn't something that's a character weakness where if you try real hard you can snap out of it. It is an illness and just like any other illness, you need to be treated. So if you haven't seen a psych. yet that's the first thing I would advise you to do. He/she can give you a correct diagnosis and give you advise on medication, therapy and things like that. You need to get help. YOu can feel better. And please remember that you are not responsible for this anymore than someone with cancer or diabetes or things like that.
