Does anyone else feel this way?

[xXoblivionXx]

I feel like I am in this big dark abyss. There is no way out. After being here so long I begin to feel like I deserve to be punished. I don't deserve to be around my family, I don't deserve to eat the food that my dad provides. I don't deserve to live. I'm floating around in this abyss with no purpose, I'm just there. When people try to lean in and reach their hand out, I pull and try my hardest to grab on but in the end they fall, and I go deeper and deeper into the darkness.

I've been there before. Recently, actually. It blows. But you don't need me to tell you that. I'm sure you already know.

What I can tell you, though, is that it gets better. That darkness? It doesn't last forever. It may feel like it will never go away, but it will.

I don't know what you're feeling, or what you're thinking about. But if you're considering any type of self-harm: Don't. It won't make the darkness go away. It will just hurt you on a physical level. I don't know you personally, but you're worth it. You're worth this life, and that food your dad provides. You're too good for this darkness and I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that you are able to pull out of it.

You're better than the darkness. You can and will beat it. The light will come, I promise.

I was there once. I know the feeling. How..awful, it is. How..just..how terrifying. As catalyst said, self harm is not the answer. It get's better. There is never a reason to take your life from this world. Your beautiful. The world needs you.
