I am sick and tired of trying to be the perfect child when I know I'm not. I am sick of trying to impress everyone by putting on a fake smile and a fake laugh. I am so so sorry to all the people who have tried their absolute hardest to support me.

I’m not living anymore, I'm existing, I’m breathing and that’s it, I’m not living, I don’t have a soul or personality, I am not human, I am a thing, a problem, a disappointment to those who come near me.

Skylar,

I think it is really time to stop trying to please others or comparing yourself to others and start working on yourself. If you don't have one already, I think you need a therapist. The only person you should try to please is yourself. If you are happy with yourself that is all that matters.

I don't know how old you are but I am guessing you are still living at home.

Medications help depression a lot. Do you take any?

Do not compare yourself to others, there will always be greater and lesser people than yourself. Besides we are all unique. We have different capabilities. Different likes and dislikes.

As I have said before it isn't the problem but how you face it. You don't have to let things upset you. Only you can be happy within. Learn to be happy, count your blessings. There are always going to be challenging moments throughout our lives. We don't have to let these things upset us. Like I say, it all comes from within.

Learn things about yourself. Work on yourself. Get yourself well. Life is short. You can be happy if you want to.

Hugs, Karen...
