Sorry for all of the depressing posts lately; I’ve been going through a really rough emotional patch in life, but…I really appreciate all the kind words you guys shared with me. Thank you!

I-I was really unsure of what to do since I’m just so scared of everything going even further downhill and ending up like some awful failure who can’t do a single thing right, but hadn’t really considered that things could go the other way, or that even great people in history have been called failures, or that I hadn’t found my actual purpose in life yet.

Thanks for the courage, as well. I…was able to talk to my special person about it for the first time and felt much better finally being able to tell someone irl about it and actually receive some support! And I finally decided to try talking to my parents about it again, too, and they seemed to understand a little— and even offered to help me find a counselor if I needed one, so I guess that’s a start! I’m not sure if I’ll need one, but it’s nice to know that I kind of have the option now.

And I wouldn’t have been able to push myself to do any of those without the encouragement, so…thank you guys so much for being there for me. I’ll try to stay positive and do my best to get through everything!
