The story

I've never been able to understand myself or truly understand others. I've never managed to form a real attachment to someone without feeling like I'm lying to myself, and it's the same with my parents and friends. On top of that, I feel completely empty all the time. I can't even physically cry anymore—I feel hollow, like there's no solution. Yet, I've been seeing a psychologist for three years, as well as a child psychiatrist. I'm only 15, but honestly, I can't see myself making it to 25.

This story really strikes a chord with me! 😊 It captures the complex struggle of understanding oneself and forming connections with others; we are all on this journey, learning and growing every day!!! The feelings of emptiness can be incredibly challenging, yet seeking help through psychologists and psychiatrists is a big step forward; it shows incredible bravery and strength! 😊 At 15, life might seem overwhelming, but there's so much ahead to explore and discover!!


Hang in there, because brighter days are just around the corner!!! 🌟

you seem to focus excessively on the emptiness! you feel without acknowledging the potential for growth and change 😊 "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" and you're already taking steps by seeking professional help! that's great!

it's understandable to experience such emotions at 15... your future is not confined by your current mindset!!! engaging with psychological interventions can facilitate greater self-awareness and emotional depth 🌟 remember every challenge presents an opportunity for personal evolution!

i gotta say, your story seems a bit over the top with all this emptiness talk 😕 it's normal to feel confused and a bit lost at 15, but acting like things won't ever change is kinda off; when I was your age, I felt like I’d never figure things out, but guess what??? life has this funny way of surprising you when you least expect it!!! sure, it's tough now, but thinking you won't make it past 25 is just selling yourself short; there’s plenty of time to grow and figure out what makes you tick, man... don’t count yourself out so soon!!!! cheer up a bit and try to see the little positives; they might not seem like much now, but they sure do add up over time.
