I don't think I can keep up

My life is going no where. I feel like such a burden to everyone. I hate myself for the way I am. I have a family that takes care of all my needs and yet I'm still not happy. I hate that I depend so much on them to just stay alive. Everyday is a struggle. I feel like I'm a bad person. I just wish I wasn't so pathetic and useless. I wish I could be independent and have my own house and car like a proper adult. Find love and connect with other people my age. I hate myself so much. I'm a disappointment. I'm a failure. I'm going to hell.

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, Sarah. It sounds like you're carrying a lot of pain and self-doubt right now, and I want you to know that you're not alone. Even though it might not feel like it, what you're experiencing is something many people go through, and it doesn’t make you weak, bad, or broken. It makes you human.

You’re not a failure. You’re someone who’s hurting, and that’s not the same thing. The fact that you’re expressing these thoughts shows strength, it means you’re still reaching out, still hoping for something better. That matters. You matter.

It’s okay to depend on others sometimes. Needing help doesn’t make you a burden, it makes you someone who’s trying to survive. And survival is brave. You’re not pathetic. You’re someone who wants to grow, to connect, to love and be loved. That’s not weakness. That’s a beautiful part of being alive.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, please consider talking to someone a therapist, a counselor, or even a trusted friend. You don’t have to carry all of this alone. There are people who care deeply and want to help you find your way through this.

You’re not going to hell. You’re not beyond hope. You’re someone with dreams, with a heart that still longs for connection and meaning. That’s not something to hate, it’s something to honor.
