On Feeling Useless
This may trigger someone so be careful before reading <3 I don't like to use the word useless, but that is what I am right now. I don't have anything to offer to anyone. I started to ask myself earlier today, what abilities do I have? what can I offer?, how can I help?, but nothing came to my mind, I have nothing to offer. Zero. Before my depression, If I asked myself this question, I would answer this question easily and with confidence. Now, after I gave up everything, including the work I love, I can't answer this question with even one thing. Any help on how to cope with such a feeling? Even though it doesn't feel like a feeling to me, it is more like a fact.
@Selcouth96 I was in the same boat as you last week. I want you to know something though, you have a grand purpose and a reason to be here. I believe that it was no accident that you wrote this out and you're seeking help & You are so strong for doing that! It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, and you're doing that! You have been given the gift of life, and I truly believe that someday you will see the beauty in that! I do think that you have something to offer! And that is yourself! Be yourself unapologetically and love yourself and others compassionately. You will find self healing.
You got this. You are stronger than you even know and I hope you know that you are beautiful and loved and highly favored. Praying for you on your journey to self healing <3 sending all the love.
Can you tell me more about why you feel like you are “useless”?
