like Spider-Man said, “I can’t save everyone”

I can only help those who wanna be helped, and if they don’t I can try to talk them into it but it sometimes doesn’t always work.

Just like Spider-Man's statements, that is a wise viewpoint. Although it is true that not everyone can be saved, we may still have a positive impact on the lives of those who are willing to accept help. Occasionally, all it takes to spur change is a kind word. Keep up the fantastic work in delivering support to people who need it!"

Some people are just bad people, you can't help them. You'll just get hurt.

I can't help all of my friends with their problems without losing myself.
I'll never be as skinny, pretty, flirty, successful, or brave as i dream about
they will never love how i love them because they already love someone else.

I'm very sorry to hear that you're having these feelings, but please know that you're not the only one. It's normal to occasionally feel insecure and evaluate ourselves against others. However, keep in mind that how you view yourself in relation to other people does not define how valuable you are.

There's nobody who would bother even glancing at me as I died
Because they're too busy having fun with eachother
And I don't matter anymore

You'd think so, but if everyone holding a ticket for that fate got together it would make the superbowl look like a busload of senior citizens watching two squirrels wrestling over a peanut.

We're not alone. We're a go***mned army.

Depression is a powerful force. I consider it neutral ground. It's too big a burden not to set aside our differences and provide support for one another.

No matter what differences separate me from someone else, sharing this struggle is a bond tighter than family.

Dedicated to you, my good sir.

I'm very sad to hear about your loss. There are no words that can genuinely lessen the grief of losing a best friend; it is a very tough loss. It's crucial to give yourself permission to mourn and remember your buddy in your own manner. Please reach out if there is anything I can do to help you through this trying time.

Thank you very much, perhaps I'll take you up on that offer one day

People don't understand the difference between being a pick-me and being legit sad and/or depressed.
I tried telling my friends I was sad, and they think of me as a pick-me now, even though I legit have sadness in my life. Not only that, There is always someone out there who will destroy your feelings, though you were trying hard to protect their feelings.

Some people would call suicide the act of an attention-seeking drama-queen. Those people are called assholes.

I'm not going to say your friends are rotten, but they seem to be playing the role quite well.

Thank you. I mean it. It really did help me. What should I do though? They might spread rumors to people about me.

I really had to think about this for a while. The best answer is nothing, because you have no control over what other people will do. The suggestion I offer is to shift your focus away from the things you can't do and focus instead on what you can do, namely finding new people to hang around with.

There's a saying about people critical of some trait about you vs people who accept you as you are: "those who care don't matter, and those who matter don't care." It's not always true (parents are an exception since they matter whether they accept who you are or not), but it's a good guide. Try to find better friends and let everyone who's a drag on you fall by the wayside. People who try to bring you down aren't worth your attention, much less your friendship.

It's hard though. Tuning out the haters is damn hard. Good friends make the hardship easier to bear.

I read this story after I responded...I said I'm sorry if I did something wrong, they kept saying stuff about me. Then I read this. It's hard to ignore them, but It's taking weight off my shoulders, and I'm feeling better. Thank you. This helped me a lot.

Sorry for setting this burden on you, though. Your a person too, and it's not right for me to set this upon you. Thank you and sorry.

no matter how hard i try, i can't take away everyone's pain, everyone's hurt, their insecurities, depression, anxiety, self hate, all their problems. i would love nothing more than to make everyone be ok in every way, but i can only do so much to help those who accept help

What you're describing sounds like purgatory. Depression isn't a lack of negative emotion--it's when they get out of balance. We NEED shitty feels from time to time in order to recognize and appreciate the good feels. It's the whole duality of existence thing. Yin without yang would just look like a confused sperm looking for someone else to play with.

It's a place where nothing is really good or bad. Picture life in a retirement home, but everyone is healthy. Moderate comfort, no hardship, no achievement, nothing to dread, nothing to look forward to--just bland food, dull company and elevator music. Shit, now that I spell it out it sounds like heinous torture.

Same.

My usual approach to balancing out mental health issues is to focus on lessening the negatives. This is usually the most effective when dealing with pathological depression, but for general struggling through hard times I believe a more appropriate route is to focus on adding to the positive. Any support you offer to important people in your life will go far, and it's shocking how little it requires. Seriously. "Being there" for someone literally means being present (even virtually), listening to them without judgement, and validating their experience by simply bearing witness to their account of it. You don't even have to agree with them, and it's often best NOT to offer advice (most of the time).

To people whose problems stem from being alone and wanting to be heard, showing them that they're not alone and that they are being heard can mean more to them than you can imagine. You may even find that it helps you, too.
