Hopeless, Society Sucks

Post Reply New Topic

when I was 8 years old, I wasn't okay. Everyone knew, but nobody cared or knew what to do. They forced me to keep going to school and traumatized me. Neglected me. Every day and night I cried and to this day everyone acts like it never happened and that it means nothing, like I should just stop and be a normal person.
Maybe ten years ago my family split up. I wasn't okay before that and I'm not okay now. It gets worse and worse. I hate therapy, they treat me like crap, try to make me conform, pressure me to take medication that I don't want, nobody understands.
I hate this planet.
I have no family, no support, nowhere to go, no one who is there for me, who truly can see me and hear me and understand me, no one who loves me.
I am out of options. So I try again and get retraumatized. I can't do it anymore.
I am so burnt out and all anyone does is pile more responsibility on me.
I hate this planet.

What is your current age? You need to seek professional advice as soon as possible. Don't be afraid to ask for help from the right people. There are decent therapists who are able to listen.

Most of our members have been through many traumatic experiences or have had PTS, such as myself.
They are here for you even if we're across the world from you.

Medication is not all bad. A good antidepressant could make you feel calmer. I used it to get through my PTS. As a child I was given Ritalin for several years and hated it.

What responsibility are people piling on you?

In many ways society does indeed suck but it's not all bad. What hobbies or interests do you have?

People are taking advantage of you because you're letting them. Don't trust to the good will of others in this life - most will eat you alive. Ditch your therapist or get a new one.

Isn't life difficult enough today without fulminating over what happened ten years ago; much less when you were eight years old? How does carrying that much resentment improve your life in any way?

If it's pertinent to why he feels the way he does today then what would you expect? I'd think you'd understand that even things that happened 10 years ago can be traumatizing. Do you think Bill Cosby's victims should have just gotten over it since the perpetration happened more than 10 years ago? Of course not.

Those things might be relevant in respect of the gentleman's psychological development, but why does that mean that he should fixate on them, when doing so makes him unhappy? One can rise above his background and history - it just takes effort.
