know how to start this. I'm just sad, really. I feel like I have absolutely no
purpose in life. I have nothing to look forward to, I feel so overwhelmed with
everything, I'm stressed and irritable, honestly I just want to die. I'll never be good enough for anyone, all I am is a disappointment and a failure. I wish I was never born and I hate myself so much. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm
so sick of life. I don't know if I'm depressed because I can still smile and
laugh and pretend like everything is okay. There are moments where I'm
genuinely happy. I just don't know. Thank you for taking the time to read
this. </span></p>

these feelings may just intensify them. It’s hard when you feel really
bad about yourself, but you really can’t explain it and even have things in
life to be happy about too. Are there people in your life telling you
that you are a failure or not good enough, or are you putting some of this
pressure on yourself?</span></span></p>

continues to boil over into all other aspects of our lives. Sometimes
people can have a true chemical imbalance in their brain which affects how they
perceive life and how others engage with them that is not necessarily
reality. It can be scary to ask for help but you took a first great step
here. Maybe it’s even easier to pretend like you are happy to talk
yourself into thinking you truly are, but it sounds like this is interrupting
your daily functioning, and that cannot be neither fun nor healthy for you.</span><br></p>

feel, tell them. Even show them this email. This is not something
to push to the side because you are even having thoughts of wanting to
die. Do you think you can promise yourself to talk to someone today or
get help before you would ever do anything to harm yourself? We are
concerned about you, and would welcome a call, or even a text or chat from you.</span></p>
