idk, I don’t feel like I’m really doing well mentally rn
I’m doing ok in school ig but my mind’s kinda just…depressed. not cuz of social media tho, I’ve felt like this before going on social media (that I’m not really good at anything I mean)
everyone else in my life says otherwise, like
“no you’re great at crafts”
“that speech you did sounded so professional! I liked it”
“you’re doing great at school, why are you worried abt grades”
but idk why but I always find a way to say that everything I do is terrible lol
this kinda got serious at one point, was planning to do sh (and…more permanent stuff) a month ago (decided not to so I could finish TADC first lmao). I’m not at *that* point rn, but maybe those feelings could flare up again?
I’ve been trying to be more positive, like trying to listen to more ‘chipper’ music instead of just silence but everything feels terrible again when I turn it off. and tbh when I try to be positive it’s not really a good attempt at all lol
idk, but thanks for reading all of this :)

please don’t do that to yourself and your loved ones and people who care. you’re here for a reason, you have a purpose, whether you know it or not. it’s okay if you feel as if you don’t have a “gift” or something, as you’re probably not even halfway through life yet!
don’t force yourself to be positive, it’s okay if you’re going through it. everyone has a point in their life, where it’s not exactly sunshine and rainbows, just please, don’t sh or do anything to yourself, even if it’s just to feel something. channel that energy somewhere else
please talk to someone if it gets worse, maybe a best friend or a close friend on here! we all love you! and your mental health matters!!

thanks for caring so much, even if you haven’t met me in person 
I think I’m doing better than a couple months ago, I still don’t feel like I can share a lot of stuff with the ppl in my life but I’m trying to talk to them more often abt how I’m doing

of course, thats what online friends are for <3
i’m glad you’re making progress! it’s okay, small baby steps is still a little bit of progress. but if it ever gets really bad, and you feel like you have no purpose or point in life, please, please call 811 or a friend. we deserve you

Im so sorry you are feeling this way. I want to tell you that I have felt what you are dealing with, but everyone’s feelings are different. And I can’t imagine how you are feeling. I know how hard it can be to talk to people when all your thinking of is how they are thinking of you. It can be hard to talk about your emotions or even describe them, but finding someone to tell even the smallest thing is important! And for some reason strangers online are the best people to talk to sometimes lol!
Depression takes time to over come, and even tho some people may not know that you are dealing with it, you know. Give youself some time, and just lie in bed and cry. Forcing yourself to be happier doesn’t necessarily help for me, but I hope you get better!
Please take care of yourself! Even though I may not know you; I care! And I’m here if you need to vent, I’m sure a lot of people say that, but I really mean it! I’m on here all the time!

Agree with everyone else. That feeling really sucks, but glad you are comfortable with talking about it here.
Have you thought of volunteering? A lot of animals and people would be really grateful to have someone like you around, and maybe they are what you are looking for.

hey so…this feeling you’ve got…this down feeling? it’s not abnormal. don’t take it to the extent you considered before…if you feel it to that depth again, please tell someone who can get you an appointment with a professional. i know that can be scary, but sincerely…it’s worth having addressed if this is a repeating cycle.
additionally, idk how old you are, but seeing as you’re still in school, im going to assume you’re still in your teens? if that’s the case please know that you’re not meant to have it all figured out right now. you’re brain is still developing, you are still figuring out who you are…and so are all your peers around you! and hey, to tell you a secret…adults don’t have it all sorted out either. we are just better at handling it cause we’ve been at it a while.
you’re gonna try stuff and not be good at it at first…and some stuff just isn’t for you and that’s okay! all of that is okay and normal. the point is: you gotta keep trying stuff, and to do that you gotta be here.
take it a day at a time if you have to.
just stay.

it’s me again.
i’ve been thinking about this a lot today…and there’s one more thing i wanted you to know:
i don’t know any one of my peers, my adult friends, who never felt this way. everyone goes through it, maybe not so heavy as others…but you’re not alone. you’re never alone. i can promise you that.
