Sometimes you realize you're nothing but a heavy burden on your family and society. It's not easy for someone to fail at everything, like studies, work, and social relationships. Sometimes you realize you're nothing but a heavy burden on your family and society. It's not easy to fail at everything—studies, work, social relationships—and the only remaining question is, why are we still alive? What's the point?

Hi there and welcome to 7 Cups, I'm really glad you felt able to reach out and seek support today. I'm so sorry to hear that you're a burden and you're failing, it sounds like you're in a really dark place and struggling to make it through. I would encourage you to keep reaching out, keep talking, and if you're able, to tell someone in your life about what you're going through and what you're feeling so that they can help you access the support you need.

When I'm really struggling, I try and treat myself like a plant - have I had water and sunlight? Take it hour by hour, minute by minute if you have to. Engage your senses - soft blankets, comforting tastes and smells, warm showers, funny TV shows. Anything until the storm passes.

Life is waiting for you, to quote from a favourite book of mine. Hang in there if you can.

If you want to reach out and chat 1:1, I'd really welcome it.
