Finally somewhere I belong

[Jadotine]

First time posting here. I had been lurking on this website for a while but never had been decisive enough to register. I usually never post on social media of any kind so this is also a first for me.

I think I have finally found a place that will accept or support me in the decisions I want to take. I despise my life, I truly do. I have been on and off both therapy and many medications for the past 6 years. So many trips to psych wards or even as an outpatient... and I am honestly so tired of trying.
Of always having to mask around people and pretend I am happy.
Of having the guilt of constantly lying to everyone around me.
Of people telling me that things will get better, because they sure haven't for me.

I feel like I have tried everything already.

I am aware that there are people who care about me, and yet my mental wellbeing has never been lower.
I think I have continued living for other people long enough now... It is about time I think about myself and that I stop postponing. I have finally quit my job, which was about the only thing holding me back from committing.

I will plan everything for next February, and I hope to have some genuine interactions here along the way.
Maybe something will change my mind till then, but I truly don't think that can happen anymore.

Thank you if you've read till this point! If you also have any advice I should know as a new member, I will gladly take them.

I understand exactly how you feel

Glad to see that someone understands! The reactions here and in real life would be so different... So tiring to have people look at me with pity whenever I would even lightly mention suicidal thoughts lol

Quiting a job shows your resolve. Mine is the only thing sort of keeping my pointless life together. Every day it gets harder to get out of bed though. If I lose my job or quit then for me that will be it. Plain and simple. Not about to be my age looking for another job starting from scratch. Fuck that.

But welcome to SaSu. We are all depressed.

Welcome, unfortunately.
My own advice for a former new member is linked below. Several others (not everyone imo) gave some good pointers.

New user here: what should I avoid saying/doing to avoid looking like a tourist?

hi, am new here. i've read the rules and faq, but i'm noticing there's a culture here that i don't really know the ins and outs of yet. i'm kinda socially inept and i'm paranoid about breaking some random unspoken rule any time i post anything. is there anything that i should avoid...

It was my case not long ago since I couldn't make my mind on quitting, until I could physically could not get up on time anymore... the decision to quit came naturally after that. I wouldn't say that you have any less resolve than I do!

And thank you for the welcome, I honestly didn't expect that people would reply to my post
