people don't understand. and i can't tell them whats wrong. why i hate my life, why i don't want to be around anymore.
all my life i've been so depressed. just waiting for that moment to figure out what I'm dong here, what I want out of life. It's not coming and im in my junior year of highschool.

people don't get why im depressed, they don't get what i've been through, they don't understand why i don't want to talk about it. I don't want sympathy... i just want to be understood. I want people to realize that I am so much stronger than they think I am. I try to find a reason to be here, and I guess it always comes back to because I just want to find a purpose. I'm proud I've made it this far. But I don't want to live anymore. I'm tired of all this bullshit.

but I'll keep living each day as it comes searching for a purpose, looking for something to live for.

You know what's kind of funny about this situation? There are a lot of people out there that are just like you. A lot of people say the same thing, "They don't get it." If you think about it perhaps all these people share the same problems and have the same experiences. Perhaps if these people all got together and talked to each other they would be able to "get it". Think about it, there are millions of people out there, why should you expect to find someone who can understand you write away? Isn't that a bit too much to hope for? I think you need to look a bit farther. It happens sometimes that our lives are a bit odd, in the sense that things like ours don't happen very often and thus other people are not able to understand us. But we must also understand that not everyone will be able to relate to our lives. We must realize that people don't have the capability of feeling someone else's pain if they themselves have not felt it before. I think sometimes you just need to say somethings whether you are understood or not. It's nice to say things and get rid of them a bit because otherwise we would get full of so many worries and of sadness that we would die. Don't try to get people to understand you, at least be happy that there's someone to listen and if someone can understand you, then that's great!

What you're experiencing is the deepest part of depression where life has lost its meanings and now we don't know why to keep going anymore. But it's a part of life that passes and that may come again but it can't last forever. Just like happiness doesn't last forever, sadness does not last forever either. Perhaps that's just how nature is. Try to find strength in anything you can. A book perhaps would give you the knowledge necessary to keep going. Sometimes we just need a little hope to keep us going. We need someone to help us. Someone we can look up to.

Some day you will find your purpose in life because we all have one. Don't worry it will come to you without you expecting it and that's when you'll be able to understand a lot more about what is happening now.

I know how you feel. You have to realise a few things; first of all, reality is twisted into what you are told it is. Nothing is what it seems and the real world only exists as you are told it it. Create your own reality, start beleiving different things and fight the croud.  

Secondly, you have to realise and accept that your life has no purpose unless you make one for it. When people tell you what life's purpose is they are constructing reality for you, do not let them do that! Create your own purpose, dont mold your life to be like others. Find your own deffinition of happyness, dont let other people tell you what should make you happy.

Finally, just stop caring what other people say and do. If somebody sais something insulting about you simply ignore it, when people try to make you "better" or "happier" then just tell them they are wrong. Ignoring petty problems like that will lower your stress levels by a lot, and you will feel better about yourself.


I hope that helps.

You ARE so much stronger than they think you are, only because you've lasted this long. Make that your reason to live. Keep going, it will all work out in the end.

When the world says 'give up', hope whispers 'try again'.

Live it day by day.
