I know it’s hard; you feel like everyone in the world hates you and that you’re alone. Trust me when I say you’re not. There’s so many people that love and support you. You may not see it but trust me they are there. I know it’s hard to look at the positives and try to make yourself happy but one day you will get there. It may not be today or tomorrow or even next month but one day you will get better. It’s hard to see the good things in life when all your mind wants you to see is the negative.
I understand the feeling of “I should be happy there’s so many things I should be happy about” but you will get past that feeling one day and most days are going to feel like you have two twenty pound sandbags sitting on you every time you wake up in the morning. But once you get up and push through the day you can put that in the positive side of things.
Make a list of things that make you happy, even if it only makes you smile for two seconds write it down. Having things that can make you happy when you feel down is a great thing. Read a book you’ve always wanted to read. If that feels like too much to do read a couple of pages and then go from there. Also, write how your feeling down sometimes it’s better to get the thoughts out of your head and onto paper. And if those thoughts are really bad thought just rip them up and throw them out.
You can fight this; I know you can. Even if you need to reach out to someone to get help, it will be worth it. Don’t be ashamed of getting help that’s what counselors and doctors are there for. There’s nothing wrong with it; sometimes you can fight things on your own. That is also okay because being able to reach out and talking about what’s going on takes a lot of strength and will power. Most people don’t want to talk to anyone in fear of disappointing people. But you need to realize by not getting help it only makes you worse.
Keep your head up; you got this!
From the girl who is in the same place you are.
