I'm Not Okay

I'm not okay. When I feel sad and people ask me what is wrong I usually lie to them. I say that I am fine, that it is nothing or that I am just tired. It feels wrong but I don't know what to say. Especially as I do not have the courage to speak up even if I knew what to say.

I'm fine. I'm just tired.

Yeah...

Tired of trying.
Tired of hoping.
Tired of coping.
Tired of existing.
Tired of breathing.
Tired of living. 

I'm just done. 

It feels like that quote completely matches how I feel. Do you ever feel this way? It makes me feel so alone. Things has been overwhelming and I can't find the words to talk about it. I'm sorry. I feel so sad and in pain. 

Things have been too much for me to cope with this week and just honestly recently. I had an especially difficult day yesterday. 😭😢

    Thank you Stephanie. I feel alone but I am not alone. Does that make any sense to you? I had a really hard day yesterday. Dealt with a friend who was really struggling with her mental health. Been really worried about her. I tried to tell my mum but she won't believe me.

    Hi @Kasa2103,

    What you’re going through sounds really awful I’m sorry to hear you aren’t doing ok at the moment. I think a lot of the time it feels easier to lie when someone asks if you’re ok than to explain your situation to them and be open with them, I know how you feel there totally. But honestly it’s ok to admit you’re not ok and is great you’re reaching out here.

    Have you any support outside of here in your life? Aside from what you told her about your friend, does your mum know anything about what you’re going through with your mental health? Or someone at school? I can appreciate fully it’s really hard to reach out for support, I’m in a similar position. But I suppose it’s always good to have someone you feel able to talk to if there’s someone in you’re life you trust to that extent.

    Sending you big hugs, we’re always here :heart:

    Thank you. I can't get what happened on Friday out of my head.  Firstly it was a hard day at school and then at home my dad made me feel triggered.

    Hey there @Kasa2103 it sounds like you have been finding it hard recently, you have done well to reach out though.  :)

    You mentioned that it was a hard day at school on Friday and that your dad caused you to feel triggered when at home, do you want to talk more about what happened?
