Tired.
And in so many more ways than one.

Just of everything, im tired of trying to be nice and trying to be good enough. Im tired of trying to please everyone just for them to find something else wrong with me. I’m simply tired.

So tired that I just want to go to sleep, and never wake up.

@Sorry-Its-Sage nah i feel that.

@Duncan-Away how do you… stop feeling this way?

[Duncan]

@Sorry-Its-Sage Do something you enjoy. Take a break from the things that are stressing you out. Take a deep breath. Try to relax. Have a self-care/mental health day.

@Duncan-Away Every fucking thing stresses me out. Listening to fucking music stresses me out.

[Duncan]

@Sorry-Its-Sage How about reading? Drawing? Sleeping? Hanging out with friends?

@Sorry-Its-Sage i feel it too.
i wanna drown in a huge ass ocean and just stop trying so hard.
and i hate trying to show everyone that i care about them even though they dont care about me or they dont care that im trying to help them.

@Duncan-Away Reading makes me stressed sometimes because I can be very dumb and when I don’t understand something in a book I can freak out and think I have something wrong in my brain wich is affecting the way I read and comprehend and tell my mom and she then calls me stupid (jokingly) and I dont take it as a joke and freak out… blah blah blah not fun.

Drawing… I lost my passion for it. I got bad lost my so called “skill” and now I just dont wanna do it anymore. No more motivation.

Sleeping is ok but when I see them in my dreams… its just bad.

I don’t have anyone I can call a friend. They put me down and I fight them and the teachers never believe me because I have a so called “history”.

@Sorry-Its-Sage what if someone read to you?

[A Former User]

@Duncan-Away like anyone would. I’m not a child anymore

[Duncan]

@Sorry-Its-Sage I mean, I would.

@Duncan-Away you don’t need to

@Sorry-Its-Sage I get that. I think life takes advantage of us sometimes. Uses our existence to its max limit till we can’t go on anymore. Then you’re just plain tired. It may be really hard to continue to be nice to people, but that’s why it’s important to always stay true to how you feel. Because then it’s a bad habit to always hide true feelings.
And yeah, people take full advantage of people’s efforts just to find more things wrong with us. All to push us to do more and more for them. And…those people just can’t accept what’s on the table. They have to have what’s in the pantry too. Nothing will be good enough for some people, and you have to learn who those people are so you can teach yourself how to not take them to heart. And ultimately try to take their negativity out of your life. Even if you can’t do it physically, mentally is actually more important. To just not listen to people who will push you down. It’s easier said than done, though.
