hey mimi, ive been feeling really down lately. ive never really known you super well or anything, but like were friends i guess right? haha. (ive seen you at past meets and weve hung out a little). im having some mom troubles which is giving me some depression problems and my depression is kinda an off/on thing. and ive been having thoughts about suicide and just UGGGH i dont know what to do.
i think this has been sitting here for a while, i’m so sorry that i didn’t answer earlier.. i’m so happy you came to me for help though, it’s never good to keep these things to yourself.
i have mom troubles too.. i don’t know what your mom is doing, but i do know that parents like to think they always know what’s best for their children and are often ignorant of the effect their behaviors have on them. they will say hurtful things thinking that it will be for the child’s benefit, that “tough love” is the only key to fix a situation, but in return it only eats away at the child and leaves them feeling like they’re not good enough.
but you are good enough. never let yourself feel as though you need to reach up to their standards. you know yourself better than anyone else does. you know your limitations and your faults, and to counter that you also know everything that’s great about you. your mother can’t always know how to help you, but you can. if you find that one day you’ve overcame even the tiniest obstacle then celebrate that. treat yourself nicely and make yourself happy. the happier you are the more people will notice. the more people notice you’re happy, the more they’ll stop seeing you as a negative person and they’ll stop trying to find the points that make you negative. if you surround yourself in positivity then it will be harder for people to bring you down.
i don’t really.. know if my thoughts got across right or if this helped you any. i hope it did. i really hope those thoughts go away.. please tell me if i can help you any further. i don’t want my friends to be sad
