Depressed teenager over here
Hi, I rly hate myself and my life, like wtf is wrong w me? Why can’t I be enough? I hurt myself and I’ve attempted suicide, people say I should open up to others but everyone I’ve opened to has stopped being my friend bc they get sick of my feelings. Mby there’s someone out there who could help me? Like if u feel the same way mby we could talk and help each other out??

I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with such feelings. I was quite depressed when I was your age too, actually younger as well. My attempt was at 10 years old. I was a loner, as no one wanted to hang out with a poor, fat, emotionally reactive kid.
It takes a very special person to be emotionally present for one who’s depressed. It’s exceedingly rare to find that kind of person among teen peers. There may be a difference between stopping being friends and avoiding you because they don’t know what to what to say to you, also that they may fear that they’ll end up feeling depressed as well.
I tend to have limited time here, so I rarely chat, but if you’re interested, we can exchange messages.
Thx, rly

Hey, I am not a listener yet. I can just post here for now. The @spiritriver ‘s response is very insightful about what can be behind people pulling away.
If you are a sensitive person by nature, it can be difficult to live in this world. I hope you are in the right place. There are people who won’t be afraid of your pain. Sounds like @spiritriver is not. I am not afraid of it either. You are enough, even if you can’t feel it yet.
