Lots of things have been going on lately, and everything just feels so depressing. I hate my life right now. I feel like everyone around me hates being with me, or maybe they just literally hate me. It’s hard to tell sometimes.

I cry every night, and I don’t know who to talk to anymore. My parents — I’m scared they’ll never take me seriously. I’ve tried, but it feels like they never listen the way I need them to. And my friends… I don’t even know if I can call them my friends anymore. They stay with the person I dislike, and it feels like I’m not even part of the picture when I’m not there.

It hurts. I feel like I’m constantly on the outside, like I’m invisible to them. I hate it. I hate everything about how things are right now. I don’t want to be left out again, but it’s like I’m stuck in this endless cycle of loneliness.

I don’t even know how to fix it. I just wish I could feel seen, heard, loved… but right now, it feels like I’m fading away.
