I Need Some Advice
I'm starting to think that something might be wrong with me. Over the past few weeks, I've been dealing with thoughts about depression, nihilism, and, within the last couple of days, suicide. I am so scared of the future, I feel so helpless, I don't see any point in carrying on when the world is just so horrible and dark and devoid of hope.
I want to tell people in my life, but I don't want people worrying about or pitying me, and I don't want to be a burden. So I'm turning to online forums for at least some form of advice. What should I do? How should I handle this? And if you think I should tell my parents, how should I go about it?
Thank you for your time.
Creation is your Gift.
No matter how many years you add
To the circles of bark,
Or how many seasons you spend,
Working for another human being
Who doesn’t see you for your passions,
Something that will always wait within you,
Until the day you ask for its hand again,
Will be your power to create.
This gift will never,
Must never,
Be lost,
As you wade through the greys and blues of the days,
You must nurture this flame,
And let the colours explode
Into one massive splash of imagination
That is what will get you through the routine, It is your mind
And your power,
Forever.
