Hello everyone. I just wanted to get this off my chest, and I believe this is the place to do so.

so, my parents, they really care about grades, right? But right now, my grades are slipping and just, i feel really anxious and as if my parents resent me. And like half of me resents them back for maybe resenting me and making me anxious and the other half resents myself for resenting and disappointing them. And now i feel as if i have to either sacrifice my mental health or my grades, and i don’t know what to do.

and also, i recently found out that I’m bisexual, and guess what? My family is catholic (no hate on you if you’re actually catholic btw), and i don’t know how they’d take me coming out, and I’m wondering if i even should bother coming out or wait until i have a boyfriend(if i get one) to come out, and again, i don’t know what to do.

*hug*

Dang, I'm sorry dude

Ey I just saw this

ok so if hearing others experiences help i got the thing for you.

so when i was in 7th grade i realized i was bi. Annnd that was strange cause my mom is VERY against lgbtq. Sooo i decided to come out. And then got sleepovers taken away and treated different. It sucked a lot. Eventually I uncame out and did the whole “ur right im not gay wooowwww” thing. I came out again to only my dad as pan-orientated aroace and he said tho he doesn’t agree with a couple things in lgbtq he supports me because im his child. Not coming out a gender apathetic cause that would end BAD. 

I dont know your parents or how they will react but it is mostly what you feel is right. It took me a few months to come out. If you know it will be bad then i would say to come out to friends and stuff but not to family., if you think that it would be calm then i would come out.

or do what my friend did and slowly drop hints throughout time and eventually they’ll put it together.

like a sticker here or comment on guys there

then after more and more hints they’ll either ask or you just buy a flag and drop it like that,

thats what im slowly doing with other things. I took a jump worth the chest binder but it went well.

*hugs*

as for the grades. If you want to give me a call and i can try to help with any work. Feel free to pm me or I’ve got my discord in my profile.

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

You know, I’ve been thinking, and it’s time to get something off my chest. This is a bit of a sensitive topic, but it’s something I’ve never shared with anyone and it’s weighing down on me. For some reason, I trust you guys, so… yeah.

(Please don’t hate me for this)

Spoiler

I have something of a porn addiction. Not really hardcore, but I just can’t stop looking at nude and sexual images on Quora. I know it’s wrong, especially for someone my age, but I just can’t seem to stop. The things I look at keep increasing in severity. This has gotten to the level where it’s interfering with my schoolwork, my personal life and even my family. I did it today. And every day this week. I really want to stop, but the problem is this: most of the time, after looking at it, I regret it and swear to never do it again. But then later, when the urge comes upon me, my brain simply argues that oh, it’s just a little taste, it’s all fine. And then I hate myself afterwards. Every. Single. Time. 

 

I don’t know how to fix this. I went through it twice before, and both times I was able to avoid it by distracting myself (first with school, then with a trip) but never as severe as this. I don’t want to seek help cause I’m terrified of everyone judging and hating me. Honestly, it terrifies me a little to even type it here. But it’s also a little relieving. Knowing that I’m finally actually doing something about it. So bring on the judgement. I’m finally ready for it.

I’m honestly to good at comforting people, but i can say you were more courageous than a majority of the population is, I’d bet, in talking about it like this. So you can at least take pride in that, at least privately. 

Hope you do better man, and if you want, message me and i can try and help (I’m admittedly not very good at it, but still)

Good job gathering the courage to share that, it definitely takes a lot.

Just remember that while that's a bad thing to do, you aren't a bad person because of it. The worst thing to do is to hate yourself because of it. Be kind to yourself and allow room for small improvements, it helps tremendously

Tw suicidal themes 

Spoiler

It’s been really bad today. And tonight especially. I’m losing interest in things and people I care deeply about, and everything feels flat. I’m lonely. I’m worthless. I’m sad. Thought about drafting a letter, just for fun, as an idle thought. Got irritated when I remembered I don’t have the stomach to actually go through with it, so there wouldn’t be a point. Why post it if it won’t happen, why write it if no one will see it. Why write this if no one should care? I dunno. They shouldn’t. But I am. I’m hurting everyone around me and I’m hurting myself by thinking this way but I really can’t help it. I don’t even know what way I’m thinking. I just feel heavy and worthless and nothing really matters, does it? Does it? What’s the real count of whether something matters? Is it the consequences of that thing, and what makes those consequences matter if so, and so forth? Is it how much happiness it will bring us, in which case why does happiness matter; just cuz it feels good? Is it how we help or improve others or ourselves, and if so, how do we know those people matter? What makes anything matter besides God saying it does? Do my feelings matter? Does this pain matter, and the fact that I’m going to have it on and off my whole entire life? Does that matter? Or does He just hate me and want me to suffer?

He should hate me. I do.

TL; DR- I’m sad. Again. Yeah.

I’m sorry you feel like that, and I hope you get better. I’ve had some of the same feelings, so I’m going to try and answer some of your questions (although I can’t claim to know all the answers).

I just feel heavy and worthless and nothing really matters, does it? Does it? What’s the real count of whether something matters?

If you’re right and nothing matters, then we should all just curl up in a hole and die. Destroy our planet. Hurt others, because in the end, who will be left alive to care?

Things matter because we care. When you care about someone else, then things that happen to them, that hurt them, matter. And to many people, you matter. You DO have worth. Even when you can’t see it.

8 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said:

Is it the consequences of that thing, and what makes those consequences matter if so, and so forth? Is it how much happiness it will bring us, in which case why does happiness matter; just cuz it feels good?

Consequences DO matter, because people care about them. And they are real. Happiness also matters, but not only because it makes us feel good. It also makes others feel good. And in the end, a simple act of joy can change the lives of many. So yes, your happiness matters. A LOT.

8 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said:

Is it how we help or improve others or ourselves, and if so, how do we know those people matter?

Improvement is very subjective; without getting too philosophical, improvement can be measured in two ways; short term improvement (you make yourself, and maybe a couple others, happier temporarily - take, for example, hanging out with your friends) versus long term improvement (you increase your abilities to be happier and make others happier for the long term - like, for example, starting a club *nod to @Clinically insane for starting this one*). Both matter.

8 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said:

What makes anything matter besides God saying it does?

God does not control your life. I, personally, am Atheist. But whether or not you believe in God, it is important to recognize: NO-ONE alone can assign worth to something. If you care about it, then it matters. Because it matters to you. 

8 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said:

Do my feelings matter? Does this pain matter, and the fact that I’m going to have it on and off my whole entire life? Does that matter?

YES. It definitely matters. A LOT. Think about it this way; you have the potential to improve (using the definitions I used above) countless lives. In fact, you’ve probably improved the lives of a couple people here, at least short term. And that pain, is holding you back. Yes, it hurts. And maybe it would be easier to just disappear and make it go away. But if you did that, all those countless lives would not benefit from your impact. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made. But never ourselves.

8 hours ago, Halcyon The Only said:

Or does He just hate me and want me to suffer?

Now, as I said before,I don’t know about God, but you should never let anyone’s hate stop you. Because they aren’t the ones who matter here, YOU are.

I hope that helps, somehow.

*hugs* i didn't see this last night sorry

Haly your awesome. And I can't imagine a world without you. It matters. All of it. And god doesn't hate you. It may seem like it. And it sounds cliche but there's a reason why. Had I not gone through depression I couldn't help the people here with my stories. Everything matters haly. It takes time. Even if the whole world didn't care. Which they do care. I CARE. 

You can make yourself and everyone matter by reaching out. A little hand of kindness goes a long way. And you matter cause your kind and funny and smart and brave. 

Happiness matters because it feels good. Yes. But think about the world without happiness. 

You make me happy. You make me feel accepted and not alone. And that helps me. 

Haly your GREAT better then great. 

We love you

Yeah. I know alot of people can feel alone in their depression or mental quirks. So this is a way to validate everyone and make a safetyline that some people don't have.

I’m sorry you feel like that, and I hope you get better. I’ve had some of the same feelings, so I’m going to try and answer some of your questions (although I can’t claim to know all the answers).

If you’re right and nothing matters, then we should all just curl up in a hole and die. Destroy our planet. Hurt others, because in the end, who will be left alive to care?

Things matter because we care. When you care about someone else, then things that happen to them, that hurt them, matter. And to many people, you matter. You DO have worth. Even when you can’t see it.

Consequences DO matter, because people care about them. And they are real. Happiness also matters, but not only because it makes us feel good. It also makes others feel good. And in the end, a simple act of joy can change the lives of many. So yes, your happiness matters. A LOT.

Improvement is very subjective; without getting too philosophical, improvement can be measured in two ways; short term improvement (you make yourself, and maybe a couple others, happier temporarily - take, for example, hanging out with your friends) versus long term improvement (you increase your abilities to be happier and make others happier for the long term - like, for example, starting a club *nod to @Clinically insane for starting this one*). Both matter.

God does not control your life. I, personally, am Atheist. But whether or not you believe in God, it is important to recognize: NO-ONE alone can assign worth to something. If you care about it, then it matters. Because it matters to you. 

YES. It definitely matters. A LOT. Think about it this way; you have the potential to improve (using the definitions I used above) countless lives. In fact, you’ve probably improved the lives of a couple people here, at least short term. And that pain, is holding you back. Yes, it hurts. And maybe it would be easier to just disappear and make it go away. But if you did that, all those countless lives would not benefit from your impact. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made. But never ourselves.

Now, as I said before,I don’t know about God, but you should never let anyone’s hate stop you. Because they aren’t the ones who matter here, YOU are.

I hope that helps, somehow.

Thank you. It does.

*hugs* i didn't see this last night sorry

Haly your awesome. And I can't imagine a world without you. It matters. All of it. And god doesn't hate you. It may seem like it. And it sounds cliche but there's a reason why. Had I not gone through depression I couldn't help the people here with my stories. Everything matters haly. It takes time. Even if the whole world didn't care. Which they do care. I CARE. 

You can make yourself and everyone matter by reaching out. A little hand of kindness goes a long way. And you matter cause your kind and funny and smart and brave. 

Happiness matters because it feels good. Yes. But think about the world without happiness. 

You make me happy. You make me feel accepted and not alone. And that helps me. 

Haly your GREAT better then great. 

We love you
