I`ve registered to this site just so I can post this...
All I can say is, I have had same experiences as you. Mentally, I was depressed, hopeless, and the world was well #. I have no friends, no job, no
career goal, and no volunteer experience. Fat, lazy, depressed and emotionally unstable, I did not want to do a single thing. I reflected my past
like an ancient sage and gleamed at my future prospects through my memory.
I did not find a single answer. None.
As for my life, I`ve always self-destructed, every year, under heavy pressure from either friends or work. Like a trash, friends left me because I
was odd, erratic, and obnoxious around them but thinking back, I could not have it any other way because..that was me and that`s not something I
should hate.
I understand why I must retain myself once again if I were to live on. I could kill myself this instance, I could. I still think about them
occasionally. Jumping off my university tower, running infront of the bus, drowning myself, cut my throat with a knife, hanging, jumping anywhere,
hitting my head, etc. If I had the courage, I told myself, I could do it. I could and still can, if I had the courage. Yet, I find myself incapable
and then proceeded to blame myself even more. How sad, I thought, how pathetic.
depression is endless cycle of hopelessness. You don`t even know when you are depressed from the beginning. I didn`t know, honestly, until symptoms
of multiple headache, left and right frontal lobe, rushing blood flood in my brain began to top up EVERY day. I could not concentrate, I could not
effectively study my subjects, thus leading to eventual decline in marks and other opportunities. My relations with my roommates deteriorated like a
falling leaf and I began to hate them everyway possible.
Every now and then I think about it. I am thinking about it right now. I remember when my friend sold me out and gave my money to a person whom I
despised, because I somehow damaged..his car...by kicking it slightly to the left. I still think about how my roommate nicely asked me to exchange
$10 gift certificate for cash value...I do not understand any of it why.
I could flee from such thoughts.
I could abandon my depressive symptoms.
I could however bare the pain and remain depressed.
I could kill myself to liberate my mind.
But none of them accounts for this one truth I`ve come to recognize.
Hate is easy. It lingers in mind. Bitterness is casual. Pictures your world.
Why do I feel so bitter about money
it`s just money
yet I still feel bitter.
What can I do
there is nothing you can do
Bitterness is part of your conscience, your mind, and your world.
Positive thoughts are contradictory to bitterness.
So what can I do
Do I blame my friends
do I blame myself
do I blame my failure to be `normal`
Here is something I wrote a few days ago in my note to remind myself what I am about and what I must be, despite the realities of my world.
``I know this might sound corny. In my mind, it is but to live on and ignore my despair, I must do this to live and make a better future. Depression
is hell, hell is ENDLESS. It does not end, it prospers in you if you remain in it. Realities are what you make of it and it is the truth, but you
must think. Think. People say domination and power. People also say love and forgiveness. One says those two cannot go together. People say
sadness is wrong and we should not be depressed. Well, why can`t we have it all. Why can`t we both hate and love, in harmony. Dominate your world
with love. Dominate with power for the sole purpose of positive aspects. Dominate your emotions with single trait of love. Retain your bitterness,
jealousy, and out of control mindset. ``
It is not easy. I came across many difficulties with myself and my mind. Often I wanted to swear and insult others, knife them if I must, but those
are temporary. I fight my battles carefully now, in my mind, and I know this sounds so..corny but to us, depressed, hopeless, and pathetic idiots who
are parasites to the society, this is our final defense. I recognize my role and my position. it is not great but I am still human with mind and
soul just like others. we don`t want to be alone, but we are alone--in our mind. We want to laugh, cheer, and enjoy things many people enjoy. we
want to become part of this joy and embrace everything that this world has to offer. Yet, we are nothing.
Still, We want it.
I can give you a few steps to help yourself but you must do them with care.
No outburst of joy should accompany this. Vulnerability is first of many we have and we should embrace it.
1. Turn off your internet. read books, ANY books.
2. Write a journal or note book to detail out your mind
3. understand and appreciate your bitterness. do not hate it. do not hate yourself and your mind. embrace it. love to embrace it and move on.
we should do this together if you are desiring.
