The problem is when you relate to this but you think it's probably nothing and you're just making it up because you don't know if this are your symptoms or you're just exaggerating.

This is gonna sound crazy, but does anyone else feel like they don't deserve help and are "addicted" to being sad?

Sometimes I just wish someone could come to me and say “hey, I know you’re not okay and that’s alright, I’m here for you”
But whenever I feel lonely and I just really need to hug someone, no one is there, and that’s one of the worst feelings ever. Like I’m not asking for something impossible, just a person that will tell me everything’s gonna be alright when I’m feeling sad, and that I can too support, so we can get through things together. I’m so jealous of those people that are always with that one person no matter what

YouTube cares about me more than my friends do

“Do you find yourself isolating from people you’re normally close to?”
