Lost the will to live

" The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain."

A couple of months ago, while being struck real hard by depression, I was considering ending my life for good.
I was looking at ways to do it online, while I stumbled upon this precious website: http://lostallhope.com/my-story
I've never related to something so much in my life.
I felt as if I was writing the words myself.
It gave me the little push I needed to keep on going and fight for myself.

I had to put an end to my job and my education because my mental and physical health was falling apart.
My anxiety was and is so severe that I was disoriented whenever I would step a foot outside of my house.

While struggling with mental health, I think it is crucial to have a stable ground of support, because it can make a massive difference.

But what happens when you have your most dreaded fear confirmed?
What happens when you try your hardest to heal and the most important human in your life throws you away like a tv when you need them the most?
This type of rejection hurts so much.
It's heart wrenching.
Some may say it's a blessing in disguise.
The choice between wanting to die and wondering what there is to still live for divides every single tear I cry.
I am forced to hug myself because there is no one around to do it.
My hands tremble, my body sweats and I wonder how much more pain I can take.
I woke up with a red hole in my back this morning.
It's nothing compared to the giant hole I've been carrying in my heart.

I wish I wasn't as sensitive as I am.
I wish I could stop being so kind to humans who break me apart and make me question my self-worth.

We live in a throw away society where if something is broke we just throw it away and get something new.
People in this day and age are self-absorbed and only think in terms of ''What am I gonna get out of this?''
People have a fantasy view and misconceptions about what love is.
They think love is lust, pleasure, good times.
No. These are just the superficial rewards of being attracted to eachother.
Real love is pain. Sacrifice. Putting and serving the other first and not expecting anything in return.
Love is so many things that people have lost sight of.
How can love mean anything when it's just a word we carry around for everything: ''I love chocolate'' ''I love this and that...''
Hence why divorces rates are so high.

I don't even have the physical strenght to cry anymore.
@lostandconfused I am with you in this. ❤

Sending love, strenght and faith to every precious human who will read this and may or may not relate.

To finish on a positive note, I wish Allan Watts would hold my hand and tell me that the gods are laughing up there because they throw at us these difficult trials.

Sort:  

Anxiety is a clever monster, makes you question and worry over everything. The more you react to what it tells you to do the worse it gets. For example, if you felt anxious about going into a shop as it was quite busy, that is a normal thing to think, nobody likes that but if you choose to avoid it like anxiety is telling you too, it gains a bit more power.

If you keep doing what it says the worse its gets until your so consumed you can't do much but if you face what is scaring you or maing you anxious, you are in control and telling yourself its not a problem but I understand as I have been there, that it is very scary but the only way to beat anxiety is to face it, live with that feeling and eventually it fades away.

If there are more deep rooted problems that are causing you stress, that will worsen the anxiety and if you can't sort these issues on your own, seeing a professional is the way to go, there is no shame in help, I am receiving help my self for my ocd.

Thanks for taking your time to write to me!🌟
I completely agree with you!
I am and have been for many years.
Therapy is powerful and so important ❤️
Wishing you the best of luck on your personal journey -xxxx-

I hope your are doing well . Anxiety and depression is such a monster to control or deal with . I hope you are working on your self , You deserve to be happy and you can get there , Praying for you !!

Awww thank you so much for taking the time to write this to me.
It means a lot xxxxxxxxx

Are you ok?

I am thankyou for stopping by @mysearchisover :)
my search ain't over yet;)

That's good. Where have you been?
Are you ready to come to America? ;) lol

Don't give up, although sometimes life can seem like it brings more pain than happiness it is a precious gift. You're young, intelligent and beautiful, things will get better and if you need or someone to talk to please look at counselling. Schools not going anywhere either, it'll be there when and if you decide to return. Hope you can have a better day 💗

Thank you so much @goldenarms ❤️
You really are golden.
Xxxxxxxxxx

It's been a while. I don't want you to be depressed, I want to smile because you are beautiful. Raise your arms in the air, scream with happiness, and laugh at your depression. You are the master of yourself, don't let those negative thoughts overwhelm you.

Awww thank you so much for your thoughtful message!!!
Love that cute emoji💗⭐️

It was not easy to read and to be honest, the title of this post worried me quite a bit. I really don't know what to say, because I haven't really met anyone who had to experience what you were/are going through and I don't want to look like a "know-it-all".

What I know, however, is that you are a hero of your own story. I'm sure that, even though it's gonna be a bumpy road, you will write a "happily ever after" ending to your story.

You’re too sweet.
I love reading what you write to me each time❤️
You have such a kind and caring soul.
Thank you so much. I don’t forget you my friend xxxxx

You are very special my dear. You are kind hearted and more wise than you may even know.

You are young and a whole world of opportunity still awaits you. I know it hurts. I can relate. But know this, there are still many good people in the world that would value dearly being in the life of someone as precious as you. You are a person who's heart overflows with love and joy just waiting to share it with someone. It will come.

I know these are only words not even written on paper, but I wish I could give you a hug and embrace you right now so that you can see that even someone far away that you've never met thinks great thoughts about you. Lots of love....

@freeinthought No words will ever thank you enough for everything you have said❤️ I started a gratitude journal a couple of months ago and I wrote the kind comment you said to me not too long ago. You words mean more than you will ever know. My heart is so broken but so full at the same time to see this. Your kindness and the time you took to write these words mean the world to me in this difficult time.
Thank you millions.❤️🌟

😊

You just planted 0.20 tree(s)!

My dear.. If such words could get to you in mere write up it means something can get to you from the real word even more... Just think about how you have made it thus far... Think about how you got to this point to begin with, learn to trust yourself worse of even think about others who have overcame this ... Do the things you love to do the more.. Be confident, Be you, learn to speak out harness those powers you dont know about.. Check my last post on depression.. If you prolly need anyone to talk to please chat me up on discord i would listen wholly...

Thank you so much for your kind words!!! They are so appreciated and go to my heart.💙
I will try my best🌟

It has been such a long time since you posted.....

You really do have a way of communicating.

I worry about you.

I also think your 5th tag here could be STEEMU.

  • Thinking of you, please be safe.

You’re so sweet<3
You make me smile when I don’t want to<3
Thanks hun<3
