The silence, I cannot take the silence anymore. I want to scream, to wail, to cry as loud as I need. But I cannot be caught that way. So instead I force it down. There are too many things piling up, and I cannot handle it all. Im tired no matter how much I sleep. Theyre watching, and honestly, im scared. But Theres nobody I can tell any of this to. So im trapped in this suffocating silence and I just can’t take it anymore and I don’t know what to do

I don’t know if this is true in all cases, but another reason why I admire people who may be depressed is that there is strength in giving up sometimes. Who else can look reality in the face and be like, it IS bad? So many of us including myself run on hopes, and would rather live chasing life. To clarify, I’m not really talking about the phenomena of bedrotting or avoidance – I’m kind of talking about those steely people who’ve just determined nothing is going to go their way in life and who.. maybe not make peace with it but are sure of […]

I’ve come across maybe two philosophical instances that made me reflect inwardly on what I… want? from life.

One was an Alan Watts talk that spoke on how “we are the universe that is just jazzed up,” or something, and the universe is trying to see how jazzed up it can get – and that spoke to me.
It felt profound in a way I really appreciated. It’s at it’s base nihilistic – or cyclical in some way, instinctual, but… it was a description of nature that I… I guess wanted to be true to some degree at first.
I still appreciate the sentiment, […]

Literally nothing matters anymore

There was once a girl who spent years standing in front of different doors.

The first door opened when she was too young to understand what entering meant.

Someone on the other side called it affection.
She called it love.

She didn’t yet know that sometimes people invite you inside because they want something from you, not because they intend to stay.

Years passed.

There were smaller doors after that.

School corridors. Passing glances. Names written in the corners of notebooks. Little crushes that lasted three weeks, three months, sometimes only until the next examination.

Those doors weren’t necessarily mistakes.

They were simply the doors of being young.

Then college gave her a door […]

Got promoted recently, with a pay raise.
Old job was driving me crazy, so it’s a nice change of pace.

But now I’m feeling heavy imposter syndrome, like even if I try really hard I just can’t do it.

I hate that this is coming up rn, as I try to prep for work, but I feel like such a loser.

I have friends, but one is feeling like it’s slowly drifting away, and the other is an old ex of mine that I’m close with who found a boyfriend closer to her (former long distance relationship) who she’ll likely marry at […]

i want to talk but i don’t really want to, if that makes sense. i sometimes think i can just write on my notebook, but part of me just kind of needs to be heard by someone, anyone i guess. so, maybe that’s why i only really end up writing down my actual thoughts here. i ended up downloading a game i played about 10 years ago, because it’s characters talking to you throughout the day. kinda silly, but it helps me feel a little bit less lonely. i don’t want anyone in my life to see how much i’m struggling, but at the same […]

Every once in a while I think back to the dumb mistakes I’ve made and ruined my chances with girls.

One time I went clubbing with some friends, met two girls and one of them (a blond) was arguably the prettiest in the club, she was also a little taller than me (I’m average height) which is rare and a plus. I’m not picky on height, tall or short is fine with me within reason…so long as she’s cute with a slim to curvy body.

We chatted and they chose to dance/hang out with me…then she said it was her friend’s birthday and asked if I’d buy […]

So I’m seeing someone now. I guess. We talk often. Haven’t seen her since the first date, but we’re planning a second one. Just going to be a while since she’s so busy. I don’t know why she likes me. I don’t know if she likes me. I’ve never been in a relationship. Not that this is one. We’ve only been on a date and texted a few times. But if this leads to something, what do I do? I know every part of me. The good and the bad. I know […]

I never figured out how to deal with the gap between what feels meaningful, and what’s realistically possible. There’s this idea you have in your mind of what you want, what it would take for you to not be miserable, what would actually be a life worth living. And then there’s what’s actually possible for you, given your capabilities, and how mentally and physically fucked up you are. Which might still be worth wanting, and a big improvement on what you have right now. But I never worked out how to accept that. How to really value the opportunities that’re actually there for you, rather […]

I wasn’t always a nerd-in grade school I was kind of popular and a bit of class clown but also smart. Though I got a little more nerdy (and had nerdy friends) near the end of grade school and high school. Then genetics kicked in for me, in a good way…I started looking better end of HS and entering university.

I was going through a lot of hell in that time…and I realized that my life mostly consisted of pointless suffering, even today. Though I’m more sensible and pragmatic about it now and know its my socioeconomic status that has me in bad situations and largely […]

In the digital age, with a healthy disregard for the law, you can download and watch almost any movie that’s on public record. I’m not just talking about the box office hits but the obscure, non-Hollywood, indie, foreign or art films just as well as amateur slasher flicks and goofy stuff, whatever appeals to you.

You could conceivably spend an entire lifetime watching movies every waking hour, whenever you’re not doing whatever functional tasks that are required for survival; your hours in the movie screen could outnumber your real world hours. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Not in this world.

There’s a line in […]

There’s a Greek myth about this guy name Tantalus whose eternal punishment was to stand in a pool of water under a tree full of all different sorts of fruits. Every time he tried to reach up to grab a fruit, the branch would grow just out of his reach. Every time he bent down to scoop some water into his mouth, the water would recede and vanish. And he would do this forever. But imagine if for the briefest moment he got the tiniest sliver of fruit or a drop of water. And then his punishment goes on as […]

it’s been a difficult month to get through. i generally struggle a lot, but ohhhh boy it’s been heavy lately. i realize how people sometimes only ask about how you feel out of obligation, because when i actually open up about how i’m feeling, i end up on delivered for weeks. gets to a point where i just deleted the messages; it felt so embarrassing to see them every single time i open the app.

and so i won’t open up like that anymore. at least not to that same person. i’m so exhausted, i just can’t pull myself together. i’m tired of everyone expecting […]

school, assignments, projects, tests, violin, extracurriculars, science Olympiad notes, practice, caring for animals, plants, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, smiling and laughing on cue again and again and again as the days repeat endlessly, as lost and empty as I am

I  December of 2022 I took 32 over the counter Aleve sleeping tablets intentionally in an attempt to end my own life! Due to post partum depression, major depressive disorder with severe and recurrent psychosis, Scitzoaffective Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Separation Anxiety and a TBI, and the simple fact that I also have separation anxiety related to my traumatic brain injury and life events that I have been through and because I didn’t have any contact or communication with my Baby Mom who was a part of my life for 23 years until 2026 when she decided to cut all ties with me over a piece […]

When I think about how I or other people engage in others’ suffering, it almost seems like they view someone going through something as a roadside attraction. I have most likely been a target of this. A feeling of good fortune (‘that’s not me’) and a hopeful attitude of someone’s “potential” for a positive trajectory as well as interest in their unique problem(s) is the experience. Many a hero’s journey or other literary construction is what people are attracted to. That vulnerability as well – “I can talk to this person.” And maybe underneath that, “I can become codependent with them.” The codependency could be […]

We’re brainwashed in grade school to believe that being “special” is a good thing. Like it’s some badge of honor to be different from the rest, some evolutionary prize. And then they hit you with the punchline: “Everyone’s special!”

Fast forward. Not everyone is special, and that’s because nature is designed to favor conformity. The herd stays safe. The outliers get picked off.

Everyone on this site has probably realized it in some form because we’re all truly “special”. We belong to the tiny percentage of people who are ready to blow their heads off, jump in front of a train, bleed dry, or whatever shocking headline […]

This acct is the same as NeverCara, NeverCara0 and maybe some past other iterations.
I wanted to make another account on here after losing access to those past ones. I also wanted to share some thoughts on my ongoing presence here.

I am mostly one of those morally grey types whose suffering seems to be self inflicted. After looking at sites such as this one and another, not all but most of what I have seen, I cannot relate to the thoughtful, tenderhearted and curious disposition of most of its members.

I can develop those faculties, sure, but it was not a priority of […]

I have no one to turn to. Nowhere to run. Im just tired
