I'm tired of being a burden to my family. I'm not able to work or study, and I make them spend a lot of money on my medication and therapy.
Money they could be using to pay debts. To live a better life.
They spent so much money on my education, and what do they get? an ungrateful good-for-nothing.

My brother is really smart and has a good future. Everybody is proud of him, while I'm just... there, nothing special, a waste of space.
I'm tired of being so pathetic and useless. What is the point of living like this? Of knowing that even if I get cured from depression, I'd still be the same ignorant and worthless person?

I use ~mental illnesses~ as an excuse. To pretend they're the reason I'm not a better person, when it's actually all my fault.

I'm so, so tired...

Depression can make you feel worthless even when you are not. It sounds like you are suffering and need help. I'm glad that you are seeking therapy and help from a doctor. It sounds like maybe they need to change you medications in order to help you feel better. Talk to your doctor about it.

Hi Novicix,

The kind of thoughts you're expressing above are a very interesting clue. Please notice how compelling they are because of their emotional content and their importance to your life. You probably have these thoughts over and over and over and over and over again, right?

Have a look at these notes and see if it explains what's going on. The notes contain a possible way out.
