So how does it feel to be truly happy? Like, 'Happy from within' as they would say? Cause ever since I was a child I've considered myself to be a happy and positive person, despite the terrible things that happen. And I tell myself "Im just a strong, happy person." but day by day I'm realizing that I never really processed any of the traumatic things that happened to me, never really acknowledged being hurt, used, and so on. .

One of the biggest contributors to my depression now is needing people.. I tend to always isolate myself when I need help but now I just really need that. I feel so dead inside, I feel scared and lonely, it feels strange being in my body, in my mind, I don't recognize myself and feel somewhat detached.

I feel like a stranger to myself tbh..

@DD2416 Same. I'm literally so tired of it. Except usually when you're tied of something you stop, how do we stop this?

I am so lonely. All i want is to be happy and to share my life with someone but noone wants me. I honestly think I'm cursed to be alone forever.

@isolatedangel this is exactly how I feel.....I am starting to hate myself, I recently stopped cutting myself and now I am trying to fill the emptiness I feel with anyone and anything even though I know I am going to regret it, .... it hurts, it really really hurts.
I really believe and hope one day I will truly understand what being happy really means and how it feels...... I am really trying to push through it all but it is so hard
