hey, to keep it short, I come from a messed up background, I have had the (dis)pleasure to witness and live pretty much any kind of atrocity you could imagine. luck me I guess. I really don't want to off myself but at the same time I really would like to just die. I am angry, sad, alone and the worse part is my success and my failures make it so I can't go to a therapist for my issues. I am poor from my successes but not successful enough to help myself. I am an immigrant who came to the states with I was 8 months and never had a chance. Now all I want to do is die and let the pain that has tortured me for the last 14 years be done with. I have everything, everyone and hate myself most of all. I acknowledge I have depression and have tried anything and everything but it just made me angrier. I hate this life and wish I was just never born.

Hi. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It sounds like you've had a very rough life and it has had a massive impact on your mental health. Acknowledging that you have depression is a very important first step and you are very brave to acknowledge it. I'm sorry to hear that nothing seems to have worked to relieve it. Life as an immigrant is hard, and even harder with mental illness. People don't like to talk about it but stress caused by immigrant life can contribute to the develop of mental illness and there really should be more services out there to support people such as yourself. I hope the forums, group chats, listeners and resources on 7cups will help provide some relief. Take care.
