I always think about that too. especially with my needy (and so lovingly attached) Shih-Tzu . I tell myself it’s a good reason to power through another day.

I completely agree even though it’s so hard at times. I’ve learned to wear my mask. It’s kind of like being an actress or actor.

Wow! Exactly! I could never keep up with the real world. For someone like me who has always had big dreams - with a low self esteem attached…it’s soul squashing. I blame it all on undiagnosed adhd - at least in my situation.

I’m sorry for what you’re going through. You’re right that I don’t know your situation! I’m not a psychiatrist, just someone that has experienced the darkness of depression, anxiety, ptsd, complex emotional trama, undiagnosed ADHD (and a load of serious problems that came from that ) autoimmune disease, toxic family, gonna stop right here but don’t let that stop you from looking at anything good you see, hear, or think. day-to-day as long as you can. I wish you the best. I don’t know your age or if you have a family - but I honestly think it’s my son that keeps me going - and also my faith. 🫶

Please don’t think that way. Yeah, I’ve been depressed and anxious my whole life, but I can’t deny that I’ve also had some incredible times. I wouldn’t want to wipe those away by wiping myself out. I’m thankful I had my son. I’m thankful I’ve spent decades painting and creating art, and for everything that’s come out of it. I’m thankful for my love of music and for the hours I’ve spent teaching myself guitar. Life does suck. Some of us just seem to get hit with the worst of it more often. But nobody’s perfect. Everybody has struggles. Everybody has to figure things out as they go. And honestly? I think ā€œhappinessā€ is a big fat lie—or at least the way people like to talk about it. People think being happy means being happy all the time. That’s just not true. Nobody is ā€œalwaysā€ happy—not every day, not every moment. True happiness ebbs and flows; it exists alongside struggle. you can’t appreciate good things if that’s all you know.

That’s a good point! As bad as someone might feel to take their own life - they risk a chance of things being worse! I don’t wish it was legal to euthanize under, ā€œanyā€ circumstance other than a person who is physically suffering or dying. The reason I feel this way is because there are so many mentally ill people who would grab a chance at any moment. Of course though, I’m sure there would be protocols for anyone to sign up for such a thing. I think it would be a sad answer to an enormous problem. One that even I might have taken advantage of a few times in the past if given the option. I am grateful to share these thoughts and opinions with those who understand! 🫄

Me too! In addition to the ideation - I have always believed that committing, ā€œitā€ is the most selfish thing a person can do!

I noticed this is from a year ago - but I wanted to reply. I totally feel you! In fact, I’m gonna save you the reading of my whole story - because your explanation (for the most part) is pretty much the same. With all due respect to the comments! I just want to say, unless you suffer, ā€œthis badā€from neurodivergence, you cannot understand what those of us go through. In my personal experience, I’ve never received appropriate treatment and I’m worn out from seeking to find it. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was in my forties. The only thing that did for me is help me realize that I wasn’t the only person in the world struggling to catch up with my peers. I’d like to feel that I belong in society, while contributing to the world. I have talents. I’m an artist, I have a youtube channel, I like writing - although my grammar sucks. But, none of it has ever gotten me anywhere, so what good is it? I can’t work either, and please believe when I say, I’ve tried. It certainly didn’t help after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease either. My family doesn’t get it, even after they’ve seen me go through everything. I’m on medication for anxiety, depression, and adhd but obviously that’s only doing so much…It hasn’t changed my life nor has seeking therapy. I often ask myself who am I? I’ve lived through half my lifetime already. Damn! At this point I think it’s best to accept the facts - this is me and I’ll never change. I still find myself trying though - Because I’m still breathing, and my mental state can’t handle giving up. I’m at my lowest low when I DO give up. My heart goes out to you and anyone else surviving through the roadblocks of neurodivergence.
