Ever Felt Worthless?

Sometimes it's hard to feel as if you belong in a community or if life is worth it. Sometimes I feel as if my parents being divorced if purely my fault that all the issues that occur between me and my family is all me. It's hard knowing you have clinical depression and the rest is just your mind screwing with you until you think nothings worth it anymore. Life plays tough you have just gotta push through until the sunshine reaches your dim corner, but what if that lights never coming what if i'm gonna suffer in the dark forever is it worth continuing or giving in to the feeling that fulls you so far down there's no coming back? Whats your thoughts?

Hi Medow,

Interestingly one of the only certainties in this world is that every day the sun will rise, and every day it will set and the moon will shine it's light. The other certainty is change. Change is the only constant.

With these two philosophies in mind the sun light will definitely find you. You could also take some small steps away from the corner and you'll feel the warmth of the light even sooner. When we're feeling low, we always tend to find the darkest places to reside. It can be difficult to continue our low mood, negative thoughts, and destructive behaviours when we're sunbaking on a beach on a 30deg day, with the sand at our feet and the sun on our face.

Is it worth continuing? Absolutely.

I get what you mean about your parents separation. My father cheated on my mother numerous times in my childhood, so they were constantly separating. I thought it was all my fault because I'd been a difficult child. I spent hours cleaning, cooking, being well behaved just to try and show them I was perfect. At the age of 21 my father actually blamed me for all of his actions, so it was pretty hard not to believe him. It's taken me 13 years to be convinced that it all had absolutely nothing to do with me.

I'm going to finish with your statement, "Life plays tough you have just gotta push through".
