Suicidal ideation, for many, isn’t about death.
It’s about relief.
From shame.
From feeling overwhelmed constantly. From feeling like a fucking burden.
The goal isn’t always “not wanting to be alive”
It’s just not wanting to live like this.
self-sabotage is also:
- not asking for help
- rejecting praise
- isolating yourself when hurt
- saying "yes" to everything
- putting your needs on hold
- procrastinating on important tasks
- watching too much news
- trying to be perfect
NOBODY LIKES YOU WHEN YOU'RE DEPRESSED.
Plain and simple. We can talk all day about mental health and how important it is, but the moment you are depressed, people start to distance themselves. They see you as negative, a burden and someone too heavy to handle
People think depression means your sad and crying all the time. Depression for me is being stuck in a twilight zone. i can't think , i don't respond to things , nothing is interesting , i just feel empty. not sad , just blank. I have a lot of days like this and they are hard .
