me : *listening to super depressing sad songs*


twin brother : are you depressed?


me : no these songs are just really freaking good and... relatable sometimes

[shea]

“Telling someone with depression to just be happy and smile is like telling someone with Asthma, Just breath it’s not that hard. Or someone who is paralyzed just move! It’s easy. Or a deaf person to just listen to you.”

Edit: so I see some of you are respond with rude things. Please if your not gonna say something nice just don’t say it at all. A lot of the other people replying are going through something and you saying that rude response won’t do anything to help. Thank you all

Does anyone else feel like they lie to others so much that they start believing their own lies?



or




that they are stuck in a dark void and each lie they tell they go down deeper and deeper loosing sight of the light? And no one knows how u r feeling and that u feel like u r drowning? I do every single day...

" Hey, how are you?"

4y ears old, my kindergarten bestfriends betrayed me.
6 years old, my crush laughed at me and my friends don't payed attention to me
7 years old, I got to school. I got bullied and class laughed at my name.
10 years old, new school. No one talked to me except a girl. She smiled at me and asked to be friends. 5 months later she died in cause of cancer. I started cutting and my mom became colder to me.
12 years old, all my friends left school. An other girl talked to me and we became friends. I noticed scars on her wrists. "What's that?" I said. "A cat scrached me" she said.
After 3 months she commited suicide.
13 years old, went to Germany and made friends with a kind boy. We became bestfriends. I went back to country. We were texting almost everyday. After some months, he died in a car crash.

*I'm fine*

[rockstarv.]

i found this by accident






best accident ever!!

[aestheticcloud]

I saw this in a comment:

“Would you go right with nothing left, or left with nothing right?”

[darkgoddessx]

Pretending is so much easier than excepting reality...

[Abcedjfjdkd]

It’s funny how strangers care more than your own friends🙂

[bourage]

Guys, we're died inside, but we still living.
We're strong
We're good
We're... we are a family.

So, if you need a family, just join to us.

Depression is like a Body that try's to survive, but a mind that try's to die

[bellaaa]

They say “Follow your Heart"
But what if Your Heart is in a Million Pieces, which piece do you follow?

[chosentragedy]

This is a scary generation. The people that aren't depressed say that they are, and those people ruined it for the ones that actually are depressed. Depressed people are usually alone in this world because no one believes them. When I attempted suicide on a school bus I was just laughed at because "I only stabbed myself for attention" Only until the very end of the bus ride one of my friends heard about what I did and tried to talk to me. I felt like even more shit, and was laughed at even more because people thought I was crying from the stupid thing I did. No, I was crying because this was going through my mind: " I want to die I want to die I want to die... " My parents just thought it was a 'phase' I was going through, since I had no reason to feel like this, I just do. But what makes me angry now is the people that are complete fakes and try to act depressed, and get attention for it. I don't like how I turned out because of this and receiving no help. I lie about every single little thing for no reason, I push away people that show a sliver of care, I'm not even in touch with my emotions. I'd be crying one minute and laughing like a psychopath the next. I stopped feeling empathy for anything around me, and have sudden urges to kill whatever's in front of me. I'm on the borderline for whether I want to die or not. All this hate that I've collected for myself, I take it out on the nearest person. The best part: people think I'm happy just because I'm a straight A student. You don't know who's suffering, or what someone's been through. And you don't know whether they're being fake or real since everyone deals with their problems differently. For example, my method is crying in the shower every night, while someone in my life that has been diagnosed with depression posts stuff like, "I wanna die" on their profile. Thanks for coming to my ted talk and listening to this whole rant 😂😂

Me: MOM! Come I broke something!
Mom: What is it?
Me: The replay button =3
Mom: -_-"

[mizukimusume-gacha]

:what's wrong?
me:Nothing



N-umbness and pain
O-thers judging me
T-hinking about death
H-ate
I-gnorance
N-othing inside
G-reat, just great...

When she was 7, she wanted to be an astronaut
When she was 8, she wanted to be a pop star
When she was 9, she wanted to be a doctor
When she was 10, she wanted to be a teacher
When she was 11, she wanted to be happy
When she was 12, she wanted to be dead

And by the time she was 16, she was.

[howtiresome]

My mom relates to this song. My mom and step dad fight constantly. I hear them fight, she sleeps on the couch, and the next day she is "happy" with him. He drinks constantly. He hates us and she's broken. I sang this to her and she cried so much.

[dulceteternity]

"Hey, Are you alright? You seem off today. Everything fine?"
"N- Yes! Everything's peachy! Just a little tired is all!"
She'd smile as her eyes watered
"Excuse me for a moment, I Need to got to the bathroom!"
She'd speed walk to the bathroom quickly hiding in a stall as she cried. She went out a couple minutes later.
"Sorry, I got a call from someone!"
What's wrong with pretending! It only breaks you slowly! Right?...

[Val_Stxrly]

Bestfriend: "are you OK?"
Me: "yeah just


Tired of smiling, tired of crying myself to sleep, tired of pretending I'm fine when I'm actually crying inside and my heart in pieces...

[Lemon.cosplay]

I remember listening to this song when I was a kid, I was about to give up so I listened to it on repeat. This song still comforts me.
