Massive wall of text incoming
Most of the time when I see these kind of topics I try to send a Personal message or post something that may help, something to encourage you guys. But then I scrolled down
I was really surprised to see so many of you talking openly about this sort of thing. And it's saddening to see so many people dealing with depression.
When I was younger I also dealt with depression to an extent. I was very shy, and from that shyness grew self-consciousness. And from that, self dislike, and then depression. And now that I've finally completely gotten over it in myself, I only seem to be dealing with it more than ever, only now in the people around me rather than myself.
Depression seems like it's becoming a worse and worse problem in more developed areas, and to be honest, I'm sick of it. It's destroying perfectly good lives
Here's my advice to you guys-
Life is worth living. Now it's not always going to be fair, and there will be times where it's just going to plain suck. You need to get that into your mind, but you can get past that. You can't decide what your given in life, only what you're going to do with it. Life is a great gift, but in many ways it can also be like a war. In order to win you have to fight through it a lot of times- and I don't mean physically fight, I mean fighting your own emotions, like depression. Or if you think of yourself as a Christian, the Bible describes it like this:
Quote
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Or in other words, against demonic forces. There are numerous Self Deletes committed all the time, depression is obviously an effective way of getting rid of good lives.
If you're contemplating Self Delete, just don't. It will solve absolutely nothing. Life is too valuable to just throw away
With one life you can completely change the world. Whether or not Jesus was actually the messiah and son of God, he was one life that lived 2,000 years ago, most historians agree at least on that. And you can't logically argue that Jesus hasn't changed millions of lives around the world, and that's just one single life. That's more than enough proof of how much one life can do
If you think nobody likes you, that you have no friends, that even your own family dislikes you, it's not true. A lot of times it can seem that way but it's a lie. And even if your direct family didn't like you that much, Self Delete would only make things worse. What most likely would happen is that your parents will see that and feel guilty about how bad parents they are. Rather than fixing everything it will only send your parents down a similar route you went down, if I had a child that committed Self Delete I don't doubt that I would deal with intense depression.
In my last school, which had 2,500 some people in it, one person committed Self Delete. That entire week long I constantly saw and heard people crying as I went down the halls. You have no idea how much you might mean to a lot of people
And one last thing- whatever you do don't rely on girlfriend/boyfriend relationships to make yourself happy. People are not perfect by any means, they
will let you down. You will never find a perfect person that understands you completely that you will never disagree with, that's pure fantasy.
The sooner you get used to that, the better. And it could very well help you have better relationships later too
And also, if anybody needs someone to talk to I'm always free. Send me a pm, call me on Skype or something
