I know you're probably tired of hearing words that feel empty, but I want to acknowledge the weight of what you're going through. It’s not pathetic to feel pain, and it’s definitely not pathetic to reach out for help or talk about it. Sometimes it feels like the world is just this cycle of pain and loss, but that doesn’t mean it’s your fault or that you’re destined to feel this way forever.
You matter, even when it doesn’t feel like it. I know you’ve heard that a lot, but just because you’ve heard it before doesn’t make it any less true. The pain you're in right now doesn't define you, and it doesn’t mean you won’t find moments of peace or joy again.
It sounds like the server you're in might not be a supportive environment for you right now. It’s hard when people are dismissive or unkind, and I’m sorry you’re experiencing that. Sometimes people say things that are hurtful because they don’t understand what someone is really going through. Your feelings are valid, and it's okay to want and need real support.
I get that hearing a stranger say they care might feel meaningless, and that’s okay. But I do want you to know that there are people out there who want to help, even if they don’t know you personally. It doesn’t make your pain any less real, but it means you don’t have to go through it alone.
You don’t have to make any decisions about your life right now. Just focus on getting through this moment, and reach out to someone—a crisis line, a counselor, anyone who can listen and support you without judgment. There are people who can help, even if it feels impossible to believe that right now.
