I don’t really know why I am writing this but I guess it’s out here.

Back in October, well I guess a little in the end of September, I started to feel this pressure to be “perfect”. It started out as this little thing but overtime it became something worse. I guess this pressure stemmed from the fact that I am somewhat of a people pleaser. This mind set is probably what started the pressure to be perfect because if I was, then everyone would be happy. But instead, I started to see all my flaws. I was and am a very accepting person who doesn’t really care about flaws, but this mindset really hurt me. These thoughts that I could live up to everyone’s expectations started to eat away at me. What didn’t help was that my grades began to drop which just fueled the fire. All of this overwhelming thought and pressure lead to me getting out of bed in the middle of the night and trying to ||kill myself.|| But I failed. So I tried again the next night and failed yet again. I kept trying and sometimes when I failed, I would ||cut myself|| for failing. Tho I did do it on obvious places, may as a cry for help, idk. Yet throughout this entire time I kept smiling, making sure everyone was oblivious to my pain. I was broken. All the walls I made we keeping everyone out and my self in. I was trapped, consumed by my own hate, thoughts screaming at me that “I wasn’t enough” and “I didn’t deserve anyone” the was nothing anyone could do to save me. Not even music could, the only thing keeping me afloat. Or so I thought. I started to listen to certain songs and watch videos on omori just out of desperation but it turns out, those things saved me. The songs and videos resonated with me just to break down one wall. And I did thing that probably saved my life. I texted my mom. I text her everything. And when my parents came home, my dad talked. He told me that I was enough. I cried. After so long I just cried till I could anymore. I finally felt right.

Rn I’m 163 days clean from all of that.

So anyway, if you’re going something similar or your ||suicidal|| please open up to someone close to you. And most importantly love yourself:)

helloooo, first i just wanna say congratulations for staying here despite everything :) please know that you shouldnt have to please everyone because the right people will accept you as you are. its good to recognize your flaws and work on them, but you must do so with patience and compassion to yourself. your dad is right, you are enough and the fact you want to keep improving proves how much of a good person you are. please take care 🫂

i feel for you friend... its pretty clear you are seeking a whole lot of approval that you DO NOT need from anyone. You absolutely are enough, you should learn to open up to your parents more (thats what they are there for). If you can't or feel unable to, find yourself a "gay family". We have had them throughout all of our history of being on this planet. I can only take away from this, that you really need Dad for some reason. And that breaks my heart, if you feel like he wasnt there for you. In the LGBT+ community, family is chosen, not blood bound. You deserve better, and you have so much ahead of you to still experience.

I can really relate to that pressure, its slowly but surely has been eating at me since I started highschool(almost two years at this point). I see all my classmates get 90s and high 80s while doing so much other shit with their lives. While I fight to get 80s/70s when all I do with my life is try and be the "perfect" person to everyone, whether thats at the gym or at home or when im out with friends. Also I feel that I have to prove that I am worth of living if you get what I mean. So I must ask you, how did you escape that cycle? I just feel that I cant escape it

Even though I haven't taken the same measures as you
