I don’t want to live. Regular CBT therapy hasn’t helped. Meds haven’t helped. There are people who are more deserving who are dying. My low self esteem and depression are “entrenched”.
 I’m taking up space

Trying to heal is not an easy process. And sometimes we just want to give up. I hear you. But you CAN get better. I don't know how long you've been trying, but what works for you could be just around the next corner. Please give yourself permission to keep looking until you find a solution.

 I know where you are coming from. I've been with low self-esteem and depression for way too long as well. And the fear settles in that it's entrenched.Hopelessness is a wretched, misbegotten creature. It doesn't deserve the space. You do. I mean, imagine you were the therapist. Yes, there are probably people even worse off. But the person in front of you is in immense pain. So much that they don't want to go on. Would you think they weren't deserving? Would you turn them away for that? I would not. I could not. I learned a long time ago that I can't fix the world. I can't help everyone. But I can try and do something for the person right in front of me. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
