I have driven a tank. Also I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and that I am sucicidal.
@MikehereforyouUK
You're stronger than you think you are, okay?
@MikehereforyouUK You drove a friggin tank! A TANK!! You're stronger than you think. Take my word for it, pal ;)
Keep up the fight. You're only lost if u say so ♥
@MikehereforyouUK
I want to say that you are an awesome person. I don't know your expeiexperiences or your circumstances all, I can say is when things seem darkest cling to those memories that make you feel strongest like driving a tank I'm sure you wouldn't have mentioned it if wasn't something that made you feel proud and accomplished, and always remember that there are many people here who care about you and are ready to give you their support whenever you need it.
I'm a Musician, I use my music to ease peoples depression and anxiety.
@LunasCares
That's AWESOME!
I'm in panic every day...just waiting something bad happens to me
@Amron
Nothing bad will happen to you. Live in the NOW and don't let the little worries pull you back from having a good time!
That I have depression and I'm bisexual also that's the first time I've written it down I've never said it before, I've only ever agreed with what people call me or hint to it but I've never said it!
@itsmesara
This was a brave step for you then! You've done great
@Saraf thank you, I actually felt better afterwards even though it was on here and not in real life it still helped! :)
@itsmesara
Same, i consider myself heterosexual, but sometimes i feel attracted to members of my gender. also, first time i type it down too. :)
@AncientTortoise that's great! I don't know about you but it actually kind of felt good to get it out there even if it wasn't in real life haha :)
.
Most people don't know that I thought about suicide scenarios a lot.
That I scratch my skin a lot without knowing it myself? Also, I'm a metalhead even though it doesn't stick to the first picture people make of me at first sight.
@sweetSnow24
Haha, the scratching part I can relate!
...that I am not the sunny, happy and successful person people see, but actually inside pretty much a train wreck, waiting to be put on the rubbish heap.
@Faure I feel similarly...
@gregariousWest218
Thank you, sometimes I feel I am the only one feeling like that as everybody around me is doing just brilliant !😈 My acting qualities though are excellent, and so I will keep going to pretend then...
@Faure
I think you'd be surprised at how many people are actually secretly suffering inside most of us have become very good at hiding it to protect ourselves from being treated differently, being bombarded with unwanted yet well meant advice, and from the sometimes difficult task of explaining how we are really feeling inside.
@Quietman4875
Thank you for mentioning that, I know of course that there are many of us out there, who cannot show their true feelings. Having lived through some serious traumatic and life changing experiences, outside of my control, I find it increasingly difficult to relate to people whose life is unperturbed by such experiences.
@Faure
I think have such experiences irrevocably changes the way we view the world and the people in it. You have experienced more than one traumatic event in your life, having only experienced one traumatic event in my life I can't even imagine going through multiple traumatic events but you made it through and survived you carry wounds and scars but you survived and are stronger for it. It may be a small comfort but you made it through where others may have been completely broken in a similar situation. It can also be a small comfort knowing that others can relate to what you have been through, hold on to all these small comforts because they will add up in time although you will always carry the scars it will help make the pain a little more tolerable.
@Faure
You might see a train wreck in yourself, but I see someone who is a LOT stronger than they think they are!
@Saraf
You may have a point there as nobody -- absolutely nobody -- who 'knows' me would believe that I feel like that. So maybe I am not a complete wreck yet ? But too many beatdowns have definitely left some lasting marks. Phew...enough ranting...
@Faure I have used those exact words to those few that I've expressed my inner despair to.
@RavenHeart81
Thank you RavenHeart81. I wish you all the strength possible to cope with this, I think I can understand at least partly how difficult that really is. Take care.
That I'm depressed and lonely.
How fragile but also strong fighter I am
