Hi, I'm Samuel. Lately, I've been struggling a lot with depression and having frequent suicidal thoughts. It's been incredibly hard, and I feel like I'm just existing without a purpose. I often feel like everyone hates me for no apparent reason, even though I try so hard to make others happy and be a positive presence in their lives. Despite my efforts, I still feel isolated, misunderstood, and deeply alone.
Every day feels like a battle. I get up, put on a brave face, and try to get through the day, but the weight of my emotions is crushing. I feel like I’m just going through the motions, doing what’s expected of me without really feeling connected to anything. It's exhausting to keep up this facade when inside I feel so broken and lost.
I've been reading a lot about ADHD, and I suspect that I have it because I match most of the symptoms. This adds another layer of difficulty to my life because I find it hard to focus, stay organized, and meet the high expectations placed on me. The constant pressure and my inability to keep up make me feel even more overwhelmed and inadequate. It's like there's a storm in my mind, and I can't find a way to calm it.
