TW: implied suicidal contemplations
The more I learn about the world, the more I don't want to be in it. Everything is just an endless cycle of pain and hurt and not being able to do anything about it. I feel like the world is falling apart, and I have no idea what it will look like when I grow up. People and animals and are suffering all around and I can't do a fucking thing. I keep telling myself it will be different when I'm an adult, I'll have more power and a say in my life, but I don't know if I will. I'm bisexual a woman (well, girl) who might not be able to marry the person I want to in the future and may not even have a big say in society. The climate is a disaster and no one seems to be doing anything about it. It's become normal for teens to have mental health problems apparently and everyone seems to think it's not an issue. And so much other stuff that I can't even write out but it's all weighing on me and I'm scared of what the world is turning into and what my life will be like. I also feel so helpless because innocent lives are being ruined by stuff every single day and I can't do anything about it and people are starving and losing loved ones and dying of disease and being torn apart by war brought on by other humans. We kill and destroy other lives just to get what we want. We cause pain and destruction everywhere we go. Why. Why are we here. What's the point of staying here if the bad people are going to destroy everything and the good people are left helpless and hopeless.

And all my friends are fucking falling apart and I feel like I can't do anything and I'm just watching them collapse and I'm totally useless
I feel like that so much too. I feel like everyone's falling apart and how am I supposed to help them when i'm falling apart too?

Exactly. And I saw a quote that said "Good people are like candles. They burn themselves up to give others light." When do you cross the line of helping others to harming yourself?

I wouldn't actually commit bc I know it would only hurt the people who love me. But I've thought about it. And no, I'm NOT a people pleaser, I'm not a nice enough person for that, but I don't want to hurt people like that. It's better for me to have to deal with the hurt than them, right? Maybe I deserve it more. Maybe that's why I'm dealing with it. Maybe there's some reason I have to deal with this.

Exactly the same situation for me. Literally. You just put into words so much of what I'm feeling. T^T

You did too. It's nice knowing I'm not the only one out there...

It doesn’t help that I’m LGBTQ+/alterhuman either. I’m not out but if I dare express myself, people are going to be like
“Ew what’s that furry doing?�
“You little [insert slur]!�
It absolutely destroys your self esteem, just being vaguely different. I’m the smartest girl in my class judging by my test results. Despite that, no one wants me for anything unless I’m friends with you. Fun fact: I’ve got 5 Georges in my class. We call them via their last names. I’m closest with field.

You just summed up all of my feelings rn exactly. I see all the hurt that the world is going through, and there's nothing I can do about it. The climate gets worse every single day, and no one else seems to care, especially not the leaders who are going backwards on progress every day, and who were supposed to be standing up for and protecting our country and future
