>>1952029I always feel the same way OP.
>>1954868As this person said OP, I realized that a lot of my thoughts were completely irrational and contrary to what was the reality of the situation. I tend to always think that no one cares about how I feel and no one will ever care. That I'm useless and not good for anything. That I will never accomplish anything of significance. That I will be a failure. That I will always be lonely and die alone.
However, I also realized a lot of the way I was feeling was partially my fault. I wouldn't want to reach out to people or ask for help. I know I shouldn't do this and I try not to but, it's still really hard. Depression is an uphill battle.
I like to write notes to myself on sticky notes and put them everywhere I can see them. It's really cheesy but, it works. It's always stuff like "Ganbatte!" and "Daijoubu!" or pictures of people I find inspirational.
I used to see a therapist and she once wrote down on a piece of paper "You are loved." and told me to keep it. I wish I still had it.
