There's no reason to read this

My mental health is getting worse again. The intrusive thoughts are starting to win little by little and the suicidal thoughts are getting a little tiny bit stronger and more difficult to contain each day. I wonder what I'm holding on for when most people I call 'friends' don't seem interested in knowing me and my life is never going to get better because there is no cure for this beyond death. I can't be loved or wanted because I'm ugly and depressed. I have no future. I'll be gone and forgotten soon enough anyway, so best just to accept I'll live and die alone now and stop being a burden on everyone else.

Hey, I just want you to know… I’ve been in this exact headspace before. I’ve felt that same crushing weight, convinced that there was no point, no future, no way out. It’s a dark, lonely place to be, and I know how convincing those thoughts can get when they start to take over.

But here’s the truth: those thoughts lie. They make you feel like you’re worthless and alone, but you aren’t. You matter, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. You’re here, reaching out, and that takes so much strength. Whether you see it or not, there is still hope for you — even on the worst days.
