I hate me and I want to die, but I'm too much of a coward.
The story
My thoughts are all over the place and disorganized, so there's no way any of this is gonna be orderly and well thought out, I'm just going to throw my mind at the keyboard and send what comes out.
I'm terribly depressed, I always have been, there's been times where I'm at my lowest and I end up in a hospital, then there'll be times when things get better and I start to feel happy, but as life goes on I start to care about the good parts less and less and the bad parts become more and more unbearable.
I'm in one of those low parts now, and I just don't think I care enough to dig myself out again. The best part is that it's literally all my fault! I used to blame everything around me for all my sorrow and suffering, but I'm starting to realize that I'm the source of... All my own problems! My mother was a psychotic and abusive piece of dirt, and the rest of my family wasn't much better, I used to blame that for my depression. Money has always been a big issue, and I used to blame that. Every single friend I ever make ends up hating me and hurting me, before never talking to me again, I used to think that somehow, that wasn't my fault!
I have no friends now, I'm 21 and I've never had a girlfriend, I actually met a girl I really liked not too long ago and pretty much immediately, I found myself straight up telling her to block me because I'm a friggin psycho! So of course she did the smart thing and, ya know, did. I have coworkers and random people I know a little bit telling me I'm a great person, I'm cute, I'm funny, I'm great to be around, but I can tell that every time I do anything I mess it up. Any time I meet anyone, I make it worse. It's becoming so hard to care. I know I'm the problem, and there are so many things I could do to turn my life around, I have so many options! I really don't even have that bad of a life, it wouldn't be that difficult to turn everything around if I really tried, but I just can't find the energy to try! I know if I died, it would hurt some people, I have a brother, I have nieces and nephews, they would be sad, but I find that I can't even make myself care about their feelings any more either!
I could've been way more specific and detailed with some things, but that's the general idea, I push everybody away, I hate myself more than I hate anything else and refuse to let people close, I know for a fact I deserve to die, but every time I attempt to, I give up at the last second like the coward I am. If anyone reads this, they're probably going to give me advice, and tell me how I can try to make things better, but I don't even know why I'm making this at this point, because I know I'll disregard any actual friggin advice that I get!
So I'm just going to suffer, and I'm gonna keep putting on a happy little mask for everyone else, and I'm going to keep feeling alone and closed off, and I'm gonna keep up the pathetic victim mentality, and I'm gonna keep letting my life fall apart more and more, until there's nothing left of me! Because that's the only way I know how to live! Nobody can help, no therapy can help, no drugs can help, no amount of money and security can help, I'm the only one that can make me happy and I refuse to do so, because screw me I guess! I'm not allowed to be happy! Have a good day!

Hey there, I just read your story, and honestly, I get where you're coming from, but I gotta say, it sounds like you're being a bit too hard on yourself. We all mess up sometimes, but that doesn't mean you're a "friggin psycho".
I once pushed away a friend because I thought I wasn't good enough; turns out, it was just in my head. We tend to focus too much on our own flaws and assume everyone else sees them the same way. I know it feels like you’re stuck in a cycle, but I genuinely believe nobody truly "deserves" to feel that way. Maybe instead of saying it's all on you, think about taking smaller steps towards being kinder to yourself? Life can be a real jerk sometimes, but you're not alone in this. We've all got our own mess, and it doesn't make you any less of a person.
I feel the same exact way and i'm glad you said this because sometimes I swear I am going crazy and don't understand how other people are able to exist without it being pretty much unbearable...I also feel similarly on everything you said about wanting to end things but being too cowardly to, way more than I probably should type here. my life really has fallen apart and I don't think there is anything left of me either (I don't think there's a me at all, really). wish I could tell you how to fix it but I don't know myself and that's why i'm here...but what you said really idk like struck a chord in me and i'm probably going to think about it for awhile. sorry lol I hope that's okay
