I sometimes resent my family for keeping me alive.
I put up a wall in front of my classmates and friends, they think I'm happy and sometimes I can be. but then I'm alone with my thoughts and I wonder if anyone cares about me or likes me and then I hurt myself and then I look at my reflection and I feel guilty and then I cry myself to sleep. this is a regular thing, I don't want it to be anymore
Our members are our top priority. You are just as worthy as the next. Never see yourself as anything less than perfect. Here you will be deservingly treated like royalty. The listeners and volunteers are here to listen and support you. It is our job and our passion to help and aid others. There is no need to feel ashamed, nervous or worried. This is a judgment free zone. You don't have to pretend to be okay anymore. You don't have to do it on your own.
No matter how different, how messed up or broken you are, there will always be someone there who will love you, help you and cherish you. You matter. Each of us are one and only's. Whatever you've been, whatever you are and whatever you will be. In so many insignificant and momentous ways. Truly the world would not be what it is without you, nor will the future. It's not selfish to put yourself first, it's necessary.
It's important to remember when you're depressed you have to nurse yourself and be extra gentile towards yourself. Just like an athlete wouldn't break an ankle then force themselves to run that ankle. They rest as it heals and do not think "I'm a failed athlete" they think "right now something isn't working so I'll take care of myself until it does."
Just like a broken bone, depression can change the way your daily life plays out. Pushing yourself too hard and getting frustrated when you don't feel better is like trying to run on that broken ankle and getting frustrated when it doesn't heal.
I'm tired. I'm tired of feeling this way, and I'm tired of trying to reach out for help but not getting any... I'm too young to get help without my parents knowing..
I'm happy that you have found seven cups It's somewhere you can share your feelings.
Hopefully you'll get some comfort x
I'm the one that is a nightmare when it come to pointing fingers
I became the underdog but not in reality
I stole candy from a winco store!
I couldnt help myself D:
I guess it was just too tempting, but you better not make a habit of it! The last thing you want to become is a candy bandit!
I know D: but it was right in my face and who wouldn't want to miss out on a recess peanut butter cup? I'll remember that when my candy stealing impulses start to kick in. Thank you c: <3 lol

Just wanting to stop hiding. Having so much hurt, pain, sorrow, and agony. I keep it hidden so other stay happy. I keep smiling and making up lies so others stay happy. Having to cry so much at night to where it stains your pillow. Even my closest friends i cut away from. I remember i hid my tears from my guy friend i used to like. He told me my name meant fairy princess (I was happy for that but what he said next hurted me.). He said that, "Fairies are supposed to be cute not ugly and short" he says it like it was no problem.. Like he didn't care. Than my "friend" megan makes me fall by pulling on my bag. It makes me so insecure and Im too scared to tell them that. So i act like i don't care when it hurts. Than when i ignore them they care all of a sudden. Their faces have sorrow and they ask "whats wrong?". Sometimes i feel myself slipping away from myself into insanity.

You're one of a kind, irreplaceable, and impossible to replicate. Do you know what that means? You're priceless. No amount of gold or money can ever match you, because no one on the planet's history or future will be just like you. Make today the day you change for the better. Because darling you deserve so much better than this. Remember that you are loved and treasured, and don't ever forget how amazing you truly are.
Your skin isn't paper don't cut it. Your face isn't a mask don't hide it. Your size isn't a book don't judge it. Your life isn't a film don't end it. You are beautiful, and you're just going to have to deal with that truth.
You don't have to tell us what's wrong or talk to us. You don't have to tell us today, tomorrow or next week. But know that listeners and members of the 7 Cups community will always be here waiting for you, and I will always support you no matter what. You deserve happiness, and you deserve so much more than this. And I won't let an amazing person like you slip between the cracks.
