Use a quote to sum up how you feel right now

"Tired. Tired of trying. Tired of hoping. Tired of coping. Tired of existing. Tired of living. Tired of breathing. I'm done." This quote is mostly how I feel right now,but then i remembered this one: " I am bent, but not broken. I am scarred, but not disfigured. I am sad, but not hopeless. I am tired, but not lifeless. I am afraid, but not powerless. I am angry, but not bitter. I am depressed, but not giving up."

Hi snacks,
I appreciate your honestly...I can honestly tell you that I have felt like that and still continue to feel like that from time to time, though I find that reading helps me to not focus on my own problems and rather get lost in somebody else's.
And that second quote is a hopeful one which shows that don't want to give up. We all have that innate survival instinct even if we don't want to go on at times, but something pushes us not to go down darker roads. I hope you always find a spark of light in whatever you do and wherever you are.

I am also more than happy to talk if you ever want to :)

I also have felt like that many times in my life. I agree that our survival instincts are important. I just want to reinforce the idea that having these feelings is nothing to be ashamed of. Also that it is okay to continue to live for something that may seem small or insignificant to someone else.

Definitely, and you always have to start off small...find something to live for, like looking forward to a new book, for a morning walk, or having a chat with a close one. It doesn't have to be a big goal for you to push forward, it just has to be a reason for you.

thanks. that really helps. when i feel sad i do like to get lost in a book.

Yeah one reason I'm still alive is that my cat has really bad PTSD. He really doesn't love any one but me and I don't want to hurt him more.

Some days that's the only reason I stay alive

Luna! You should be alive for other reasons as well! I mean, cats are great and all, and we should live them forever, but what happens if he was gone! Are there other people in your life that would miss you? That you would miss?

Sorry. I get worried when people say there is very little that keeps them living. Honestly, there is so much worth living for, even if you don’t know.
Sometimes, you have to live for yourself

oh no i get it. It's just a symptom of depression. Some days I see the beauty in everything and some days I only stay alive for a cup of coffee or because I promised someone I would.

Not a quote but how I feel:

I am a pearl, a thing of beauty. But I’m hidden, surrounded by clams with other pearls. I’m lost in the ocean, buried so deep where no one will find me.

That is deep. Are you a writer?

That's seriously deep and pretty accurate

Not an actual writer, but I hope to become one.

Well as far as I can tell you have the stuff.

Stop telling others that their problems aren’t important, just because others have problems worse then them. Yes, some people have really bad problems such as being homeless, or going hungry day after day, but regular have problems too. they aren’t as severe but they still matter. Everyone matters

That is something I really try to remind both myself and those around me.

"You hate when people see you cry because you want to be that strong girl everyone sees you as. But at the same time, you hate that no one can see how torn and broken you are."

"I'm tired of trying to pretend that I'm strong enough."

Not everyone can be strong all the time, we all have our weak moments and that's okay :)
