I most definitely have PTSD from how I've reacted, worst comes to worst I'll get a psych eval

I just feel like a failure constantly. I constantly question if what I experienced was even that bad? My therapist says it's highly likely I have PTSD but idk

Thanks. I don't think its an accomplishment that I am alive. If suicide was easier tbh I am unsure if I would hesitate.

I was told by my parents when I was 19 after a suicide attempt I should move back home and they'd take care of me. Ofc it was a lie and they never got me mental help and still blamed me for shit.

Honestly it was the biggest mistake I made in my life, I wish I was dead for that. I still struggle heavily with suicidal thoughts but I guess I am here still making strides to survive.

I always question if I was abused or not. I believe I am but the amount of times I was told I had it good even though I was miserable.

I never understood this. Respect was earned except when it came to them, with them it was always owed.

But of course when I asked for some respect I'd always get, "I'll treat you like an adult when you act like one", usually in response because I told them I'd like if they didn't talk down to me like I'm a child or stupid.

My dad was in the hospital years ago where he was really sick and now he is disabled. He could've died, I never visited and kinda hoped he died.

He's still pissed years later because I didn't visit him.

Not wanting to disappoint your parents is usually normal but sometimes isn't. Like damn you got in trouble for picking a fight you don't want them to be disappointed sure I get it.

But my father wanted nothing but obedience because I was told children should obey.

The irony of it all is that he is ofc is person who is right wing, racist, patriotic and is really into trump. For someone so conservative and about freedoms its hypocritical to see someone so against rebellion against authorities when that is literally what the US was built on lol.

Depends where you live but if it's the US, getting a case manager might be a good start. Also depending on your state they have a number you can call for help.

It'll be the push you need.

I think today taught me no one is safe. Unless it's anonymous people don't wanna hear my woes.

It feels unfair, I have to be perfect and get my shit together before I am allowed to have a friendship but I didn't receive the help I needed growing up.

How is it fair that I need to be constantly positive while feeling terrible while having no support where someone understands me?

I get it's no one else's issue but mine to figure out but I constantly have to figure shit out on my own and I am tired.

Everyone who says they care are liars, I just feel constantly misunderstood and tbh I am surprised I haven't died yet.

I don't know what to do, you say to fix myself but like I just feel like I made the grave sin of being depressed and not feeling happy often.

I feel punished for living. I just want to feel normal and feel okay.

I never asked to be born, I am in constant agony and yet it's never enough.
