You are never alone in this world. There is nothing that you think or feel that is unique to you. There is always someone that feels the way you feel or thinks the same thoughts as you do. There is always someone that understands what you’re going through.
We all like to think that our thoughts and feeling are unique and extraordinary. But feeling unique only leads to loneliness and isolation. Knowing that your struggle is shared with your fellow humans makes the pain feel a little lighter and more manageable.
Accepting that others have gone through the same difficulties, and are still alive and fighting for a better future, will give you strength and hope.
Depression, feeling worthless and unloved — those are all lies that lock your brain into a state of self-imposed imprisonment.
You can break out of that prison if you realize that you are the owner of those thoughts and not the other way around.
Use the self-hatred thoughts as learning material. Question their rationality and validity.
Whenever you are feeling you can’t take it any longer, and that you are disappearing into oblivion remember that you are not alone. You are not weak — you only think you are.
You will survive, and you will make it through this.
