I'm completely broke because I've been unemployed for a couple weeks and I didn't have any savings. I'm doing a bad job at sticking to my new diet. I waste too much time watching TV because I can't get myself motivated to do much else. My family is constantly getting angry at me over one thing or another. I'm a total failure in every aspect of my life.

After eating way too much junk food, I told my sister that I just wanted to die. She told me to stop being so dramatic, but then I realized that I really meant it. Cutting myself isn't enough anymore, I literally want to die in the most painful way possible because I'm such a pathetic failure that I don't deserve to live. I know I'm not going to actually do it because I'm too weak, but I want to so badly.

Sorry that your family (apparently) is not bright enough to realize that you are NOT being dramatic - that you are ASKING for help. It is very poor on their side to not offer that help.

If ANYONE (including a total stranger) asked me for help - I would probably help or at a minimum pause to see if it was legitimate..... How sad that FAMILY could do that to you.

It is not you who is a failure, it is your family failing you.

I'm sorry your family is not being supportive. That sucks. You not a failure. You are just going through a really bad time and need support and caring instead of put downs. I'm glad you were able to come hear and share. I hear the pain you are in, but hurting yourself is not the way to go. Be kind to yourself, you deserve it.

I had a really rough day yesterday but I'm feeling a lot better today. I got a job offer, and I'm really hoping that having some income and keeping busier will help relieve my stress. The last three weeks, while I haven't had a job, I've had some really extreme mood swings but right now I feel like things could be getting better soon.
