I feel worthless and uneeded.

Posted , 4 users are following.

Start of the year, I fell in love with a guy later to find out that he doesn't like me that's not what bothered me, for some reason I felt like I was worthless and pathetic I got depression which I recovered from after 2 months in those two months I thought about suicide I wouldn't eat and I had a derealization attack. Now after about 3 months I started liking a guy again which I hate about myself, thinking that all of this is due to a person, he doesn't like me either although I have no idea how he knows I like him but throughout all of this no one has been supporting me and my actual friends rub it in my face and now I have depression again no one knows about it, I don't want to trouble people with my own problems. Writing this makes me feel utterly dramatic and I know I am but it just feels like I don't matter anymore. I've given up on love since I am unwanted and my friends don't really care all that much about me. So basically I am alone i'm afraid of becoming a failure. I cry myself to sleep every night and I just ask why me I truly want all of this to end, I've never been like this before and it's all because some guys, but at the end it's much more.

    Hi Joanna, you are not being dramatic....what you are feeling is valid. Your friends don't seem to be very supportive.....hardly friends at all....but I think you already realise this. You could work on building up your self-esteem & maybe distance yourself from friendships/relationships which make you feel worse. Are there any hobbies/activities that u like doing which could help u to meet new people? It's never too late to find a fresh group of friends who will appreciate you. First you need some self-compassion to value yourself for who you are.....unique, beautiful & special. I've learnt the truth of not being able to love someone else if I don't first love myself. Sounds like a cliche but it's not! Do you have family to support you & talk to? Don't give up on yourself please. Keep in touch with us here :-)

    Dearest Joanna: I truly hope you have reached out to the various organizations. I will repeat a Dr.Phil quote. In that Some times you have to give yourself what you have not received from others. Another quote take an hour at a time or a day at a time. Volunteer at some of the organizations. I find the no kill shelters and local spca not kill shelters for me. You don't have to talk to people if you don't want to. Find a cause that is greater then yourself. Also food banks. If you are dating try to not burden someone with your problems. Everyone has problems you will scare them off.
