I don't know how to go on. For the past 10 years I was depressed, ever since I was bullied in school for no reason (well I know why they did it but there shouldn't be an excuse for it). Four years later I first began to realise that the emptiness I have felt could be described by depression.
Along with the darkness there has always been the idea of relief through death. I don't think that anyone around me ever noticed a thing. I have backed up to hide from the world for half my life.
Later I became to come back, I found new friends who lifted me and who I can trust. At this time I didn't feel as bad as the years before, but I had one big problem. I had these mood swings that came all of a sudden without any warning. When I had them at school, in my thoughts I would drift away to be all by myself and to concentrate on the feelings I would be overwhelmed by.
Three years ago I said no more. I couldn't risk any mood swings anymore because school was about to become serious. So I decided to forget all of the pain I was struggling with but it wouldn't be too easy. No one can forget what he isn't truly interested in forgetting. I didn't truly want to forget because I was scared it could all repeat all over again. My only option at this point was to open up and than to become friends with my past to go live in the present. But at the time I wasn't ready to open up to someone because I didn't want to talk to someone close to me because I was scared that after they would have discovered how broken I really am, they would act weird and I need them to stay with me as if nothing could ever have happened.
At the time U decided to write things down and I have spent the past 2 years with adding details to the story. During the process my body and mind were both pushed till their limits. I have lost a lot of hair and my body is constantly shaking. But I did it. I did overcome my past and I have found something. I imagine the process as if I was digging a hole inside my head. All these years I have been building a wall to protect me but through the process of writing I reached deep inside of me, beyond the wall - and I have found an unharmed version of me. It is the Me that I was always dreaming of becoming, a Me that does not only care about others but that puts the problems of others before himself without forgetting about it's own one's.
I may have healed myself by breaking myself apart to process a past that I gave forcefully forgotten without actually having overcome it. Now I do. Now I do feel a certain freedom. I have no more mood swings and no nightmares as before all of that.
But for me, there is nothing in this life that would ever be strong enough to be willing to live for it. I have a beautiful girlfriend now who was the one convincing me to open up to someone else. It took me a long time and several attempts over the past two years to tell her everything about me and now she probably knows as much about me as I do, or maybe even more.
But in the end of the day, there is nothing in this world that I would consider to live for. I should be happy by now, by far I have got everything I ever dreamed of. But there is no will in me ro exist for any longer. Although I might do not consider death as an option to actively escape my problems but I would bother if tomorrow I'll get hit by a truck and die in the middle of the road.
I wish I could find someone here to talk to, someone who can maybe relate although I would hate it if someone could relate to it because that would mean that he knows how I feel right now from experience and it feels terrible and I don't want anyone, not even my worst enemy or the peo6from elementary school or feel the same way.
I guess it is not necessary to say but I'll do it anyway: I do need help. Is there anyone out there who can help me? I know it is not a strong problem, I mean there is greater suffering out there in the world. But for me right now these are the things that are en6to bring me down on my knees. But there might be a tiny chance for me to get up again on my feet - to live
