Why do i even bother? · 6:26am Nov 19th, 2023

Over and over again, I've been snapped at for asking for help or a simple question. It feels unfairly isolating and makes me feel like I wasn't meant to be heard. Sometimes, I don't know why I even bother anymore.

That's horrible to hear Jazzmania, I hope you'll be okay...
I can tell you that I don't mind if you asked me questions about anything or help, i'd be happy to do so if you needed it.

I feel like that sometimes too. I often find that the best thing to do, is find some way to escape, retreat, regroup, whatever you want to call it. Be it through doing things you enjoy, like spending time with friends, looking back on happier times, or even going to sleep for a little bit. You'll find yourself refreshed and, often times, more confident. The hard part is maintaining that shield, or armor of confidence against the next wave of depression, because it always seems to know how to worm its way into your head and heart, but then just remember what I said already, think of the good things that have come to you already, no matter how fleeting, and you'll find a greater weapon than any other, hope. And no matter how many battles you lose, if you keep remembering that there is always hope, that there is goodness in the world even if it's hidden at first, then you will win the war. ...I just realized I sounded like some kind of priest or preacher, or motivational speaker when I'm just a regular guy.
