You are worth it and you are being heard. I understand how you feel and how it seems you are alone. But it can get better. It takes time and you have to keep trying. It is the depression lying to you and it tells us all sorts of lies. It is not easy telling someone how you feel. Opening up takes courage and is something that is hard to do. I know it seems like no one is listening or hearing you. But we are hearing you and we do care.

Reaching out IRL is hard because sometimes people do not know what to say. They do not undertand. But here you are understood, and what you say is not wrong. There are many here that understand and have been where you are. You are not alone. You reached out and you told us how you are feeling. That in and of itself took strength and courage.

I know how being under the covers is safe and feels like sometimes that is where we belong, but truth is you deserve to be heard. I am sorry your friend is not responding. But you cannot take it all on yourself. Maybe they do not know how to respond. So many times I want to give up, but in fighting you find a strength and if you keep fighting you will win.

I know it is not easy, but know you are not alone. If I could carry it for you I would. You are worth helping and the effort to get help. Please do not hate yourself. You deserve to be heard. Know that we are walking with you and listening. Keep posting and talking. I know it is not easy, but sometimes in talking here you can find a relief. We are here and we care.
