When you feel helpless,lost, confused, drained, empty. You feel like you're not good enough so you turn to self harm and man it feels great. Your life feels screwed up or maybe you feel screwed up. It takes time to heal and yes it's a working process. Maybe you're alone and afraid to ask for help. "what if they think I'm seeking attention". It doesn't matter what they think as long as your getting the help you want/need. Stay strong people...
Friend: "Hey what's wrong"
Me: I feel so drained and exhausted I think I have depression"
A monster that will sneak up on you and swallow you whole.
Feeling numb,empty,and alone on the inside,but smiling on the outside.
Hopelessness feeling that life is not worth living or worth the effort to even maintain their appearance or hygiene.
They may believe that a negative situation will never change and be pessimistic about their future.
"Dude you cant have depression you literally are smiling and laughing all the time."
