I know you didn’t ask, and you probably don’t care, but I just want to talk about it. This probably isn’t even the right place to put this, and I don’t know how to put what i’m feeling and want to say into words. Please don’t tell me to go to see a doctor, I won’t, because something stops me every time I try to go to someone to talk. I feel sad, because I want to die, even though I live a literally perfect life. theres a few things, like, I feel like I shouldn’t feel this way because other people have it worse, and my parents are loving, and I know that, which makes me feel incredibly ungrateful, and hate myself more, like, I try to be kind and think nicely of everyone, but sometimes I don’t. I ruin all the nice moments in my family, like Christmas and Easter and even movie nights, and I know if I wasn’t here, yes, they’d be sad, but they’d be better without me. And anyways in the greater scheme of life, i’ll be forgotten within half a decade or so. I have a masturbation addiction, which is the main thing right now that pushes me, I absolutely hate it, and I feel so disappointed in myself afterwards. Football had been one of the only things stopping me from not eating properly, or hurting myself, but now it’s not doing that as much. I think if I can try to get a better sleep time then I can work on making my mental mind stronger, but it’s hard because I don’t know how to. It’s been like this for almost two years. Nobody in my family knows anything about any of this, I’ve told my online friend but they already have problems in their life, so I don’t really talk to them about this. I’m homeschooled and I feel very alone sometimes, and I feel like it would be easier to restart life if I could. I sometimes spend hours sitting in my cupboard crying about it. I’m good at hiding how I feel, I think. I’m sorry I’m putting this all here.
The beauty here is that it’s unregulated. You’re allowed to speak openly.
Have you heard of smiling depression?
I enjoy football as well, I like to make small bets/parlays on Sundays. I like to go to my brothers house on the weekends I don’t work, do you have people your able to watch a game w occasionally?
I don’t know what it’s like to be homeschooled but I can see how it could potentially make one feel alone. Are you an only child?
Sleep really is important, especially for our mind. I know many people who don’t allow themselves (purposefully so) enough sleep, & it’s not good. If you have dreams when you sleep, try starting a dream journal.
I could say more but I’m not sure I should. I hope you start to feel better. But it’s ok that you don’t right now
Thank you. I have a sibling, but they are often kinda nasty to me. Not nasty, but, like, laughing and calling me pathetic and stuff(I think it’s only a joke). I watch football with my father, when we have time, though usually I just watch it on YouTube alone. I also love playing it 😊 You can say anything you'd like, I want to hear what you have to say, and thank you for replying to me.
And, no, I haven't heard of smiling depression. What is it?
Smiling depression isn’t technically a medical term, doctors do not use it officially. I doubt they even use it at all. But one day I had googled “why is it physically hard for me to admit I’m sad?” Or something along those lines & then I read about smiling depression. Like pretending that you’re not feeling some type of way, you always have a good face for others to see, you do the things you need to do & no one actually notices you hurt. That’s smiling through depression. Not wanting to burden anyone else, not talking about it w anyone close to you, etc. I’m not sure if it resonates w you, however it’s the first thing that came to mind when I read through your post.
Is your sibling older or younger?
I tend to watch football alone also :) well, with my dog anyway lol
Yes, that sounds right. (I'm sorry I don't know a nicer way to say I agree) My sibling is older, by a year and a half.
There’s no need to apologize for something like that.
I’m sorry. Sorry if I shouldn’t apologise for that, either. Thank you for replying to everything :)
Saying I’m sorry, is like a bad habit. You just have to try & break that bad habit. You might find some personal strength in doing so :) you are welcome.
I hope you continue to stay here w us
Alright, thank you. I'll work on it. Thank you :)
