I can’t do this. - Help.com

I can’t do this.

The more I try the more I can’t. I can’t be happy. Alls I am is depressed. The minute I think I might be happy everything just crashes down around me 10X’s as hard. I’m a waste of time and space here. I can’t do anything right. I just want to get up and die. I’m tired of pretending to be ok when I’m obviously not. I’m not sure what I want to do right now but these thoughts keep getting more and more explicit. Can anyone please help I really need a friend to talk to about this.

My moms husband left. Which honeslty I am so greatful for. Its killing her to have him gone as it is my younger brother. He was a huge part of my problem and I know I wasnt’ the reason he’s gone (He is very abusive to my mom and brother) it just killed me inside to see this all go on. Now that he’s gone my depression is getting a little bit more controlable but its making my mom even more depressed. She’s crying all the time. I want to comfort her but I can’t because I have nothing good to say about a man that would hit his wife and child! I’m sorry but I hate that *** hole! He comes back for a few days and leaves. Stays the night one day then leaves. ITs killing her and I know if I wasn’t around maybe things would be different for them. Idk what to think. I’m confused and hate everything about these types of situations. I don’t even know if what i’m saying makes any sence, let mee know if it does’t/

it does. thats tough stuff, but it sounds like its a good thing that you stepdad left, even if your mom doesnt realize it yet. you have to be strong to keep you head high after that stuff.

there might not be an obvious way to make things better, but there is an obvious way to make it worse and that is ending it for yourself. suicide, which seems like something you are considering, would send your mom and brother into a tailspin. if you think they are bad now, think of how they would be if they lost you too.

they would get over it. It would be easier for them to deal with things here with out me lerking around. Thats just how life goes. People die and then everyone else goes on with their life. They may miss me for a little while but they will be ok in the long run. I’m ok with that…….i don’t think I’m going to do anything tho. I’m to afraid to actually go throught with it.

Ok, so many times I have found myself saying the phrase ‘I can’t do this’.

But I’m still here, talking to you.

I’m not quite sure what gets me through these times. It’s certainly not that I believe I can carry on, because I don’t. It’s not that I think people will be sad if I die, because like you said, they’ll get over it. But something is keeping me here, and I think that it will keep you here too.

I think it’s different for everybody, and can’t be put into words or described or even seen, but there will come a time when you are inches away from giving up, and there will be something screaming at you not to. And you will listen, and although things won’t change immediately, something will happen that will bring you away from the edge, and back onto safe land.
