I believe there are a lot of us out there that present themselves as all together and in control, but it is just a farce sometimes. Maybe we should forgot about politics sometimes and focus on 'real' people with 'real' emotions, 'real' feelings, and 'real' problems. πŸ’—

I've been told to "fake it til you make it" but fake people are one of the things that make me sad in the first place.

Me in a nutshell lol. But fr nobody actually knows how i am, even if they think they do, they dont. Ive learned to live through lies and fake feelings, and now everybody thinks im happy, and that nothing is bad for me. I do this mostly because when i tried to talk to my parents about how i actually felt, they just didnt care and told me i dont have a reason for this and its because of the phone etc. This only made things worse.

Sweetie, πŸ’—, and I mean that with love and caring, we do get through it though. About to be 69 and a widow, I have felt this way most my life. Plus, since 2020, I have really felt lonely and depressed... within 1 month, I lost my Daddy and my husband. My support system, my parents, my husband of 46 years, are now gone and I feel very lonely a lot. I was slightly overweight as a teen, by today's standards, I was a Twiggy. I had zero confidence and was depressed a lot. But, when I went away to college, I finally became my own person, someone with intelligence and beauty from the inside. I still feel very ugly on the outside in these times where supposedly appearance is everything. I still get depressed, as seen from some of my memes that I create, but... all in all, I am ok and I kinda like me now. Just hang in there... there will be good days and bad days in your future, but remember that there are more people out there, even those you do not know personally, that care. Apparently, I am good at making people mad about my political views, ha ha. πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ˆ Find what you are good at and do it. Sending you πŸ’— and πŸ«‚πŸ«‚.

You make good, original memes. πŸ’— Not sure how old you are, but it took me years-s-s to get this far. But, still it creeps in occasionally especially when I see myself in the mirror. Because of my insecurities about my looks, I have very few pictures (precious visual memories) of myself with my husband and parents. Too late now to make up for that.

Oh, my, so young. You have your whole life ahead of you. Please know that it does get better. I promise. That insecure teenage girl is still inside me and seriously, I had all those feelings you have, even now. Please reach out to someone close. Talking about it will help... even on here. I get extremely depressed a lot... lonely, health problems, sometimes I want to.... but I have 3 dogs (having to take care of my son's 2 BIG dogs... he's in jail, just really overwhelmed, and I take care of a lot of feral kitties. Just so much sometimes but... plus, I am nearing the end of my existence on this planet. Sometimes... but hang in there, hon. Please reach out to someone. I care.πŸ’— I do get a whole lot of pleasure arguing with all these magas on here, though. πŸ˜ˆπŸ˜‚

Poor thing I’m a bit older(18), and I’m still here, so I can’t add much other than you can do this, and I’m here if you need anything at all. Be safe friend

Depression meds do not help as much as needed and cannot afford a therapist. So so many regrets. 😒

Also, remember, seriously laughter is the best medicine. Music helps a lot too. I am an old hippie rocker. 🀘

I don't show a picture of myself now either... even on my Facebook page. Older pictures of me I realize now were not that bad, but I have aged and not good ...have had a tough life health wise. I avoid mirrors like a vampire πŸ§›β€β™€οΈ also.

Please don't. I know life may seem difficult for you now, but it does get better. I promise. If I had a nickel for every time I have thought about this since Sept. 2021... I even had bottles of chemo meds that I could use plus morphine, but I know he would have never wanted me to do that. Almost 69 and in the last 2 and half years, I have lost my Daddy, my husband, within 1 month and 1 day from each other. Now, my son is in jail awaiting arson trial, which he did not do... it was an accident, that house had my entire married life of 46 years in it... everything thst ever meant anything to my husband is now gone, my stuff too. I have lost my grandchild to dchs. My health...can't get it together, this pain, the inner ear problems, my very unstable blood pressure which seemingly cannot be controlled... I faint... cannit control it and when i do, that, I break body parts, my back,... Just... and I am truly alone. Please don't end it though. It will get better, I truly believe this. Hard to type arthritis in my hands so... misspelled words. But, not trying to be a holy roller, I am very private with my religious/spiritual believes, but God will help you through this, all you have to do is ask him. Get involved with a church, don't know your age, but you sound young, my church activities as a teen and even older helped me. As a teen, I was involved in choir and thst led to some great summer trips... this was in late 60's early 70's. But, please don't πŸ™ 😒 πŸ«ΆπŸ«‚
