dont seem to have friends in this world!

I seem to be in a place in my life where I been stuck for about three years now the last two very bad. A place where people cringe to hear me speak almost .I see the disguss in peoples faces and voices for me and it destroys me . a simple roll of the eyes a simple like what now. I cant truly begin to understand what it is I done to these people. I truly stop living such a long time ago. everything I say is belive to be a lie to people that they dont care to really hear me. I know that I cant imagine in my life what it would be to have such a simple thing back as self esteem friends and close family . I have a mom that loves me with all her heart but she has listen to others so long it block her from listening to me and not them. I cant imagine what it would be like to hear people say anything truly nice about me and mean it. I am about to take my 2nd hair drug test to prove i am not on drugs that is the only thing i can see that would cause them to hate me or dislike me the way i see and feel. I try so hard to pretend that people like me and belive in me . it just takes one moment to tear that down and see how they truly feel. but yet i never really done anything to them at all. so what they hate has come from other people .I belive that a friend does honesly get a kick and enjoy proving to people i am no good it is her goal to make me look as bad as she can . i dont want to fuss with people fight with people or prove anything or even say this or that about them back. I want to feel like i belong in this world with everyone else . i want to have the right to stand up for myself without it being thought of as a lie. for the most part at work we stay very quiet alot I work at night and we all do our work but it can be very slow at night and sometimes lately over the last month we dont speak much at all anymore . when i am with a friend i feel like it is her goal to prove i am no good. what i would give to have someone so i my side I am the last one to be belive and the first one to be doubt. I go through life with knowing I shouldnt talk but i need to . knowing that even the most simplest of things i am not allow to share with most. I know that all i done is hurt in the last two years more than i think i ever hurt anyone. i feel inside when i even speak it wrong that mostlly i am just there to people. I truly cant understand what i said or done wrong for the most part well all parts . i feel people think I do her a favor i am being nice to her but why would it be a favor if i being nice to you. what is it about me everyone dislike so much .i try not to talk about the sad stuff i try not to talk about the happy stuff. i try doesnt mean i do it cause i human it just come out about nothing but just talk. I dont think it will be possbily to be able to be around anyone in ga that things will ever be diffrent for me. people are so out to prove this or that about me . she bi polar she on drugs she lies nothing i say matter everything they say is the truth it seems . drugs i dont take anymore at all and lie well try my best not to and bi polar dont really think so either think i am very right about what they feel it is a form of hate or strong dislike. I battle with being happy then sad and it can be back to back . when i am down it is the worst down i ever felt and happy just feel like everything ok and see great things happen . i distrust everyone for the most part except my mom and i know my nephew loves me. even know he hears nothing but negative about me still hope he always understand how much i love him and would do the world for him. we talk at work about other people like innconent untill proving guilt and bearing false judgement but when it comes to me it lie untill proven otherwise drugs untill proven other wise . when a million times i prove so much alot of what i say but nothing matters . people can hurt your feeling and think the wrong thing but you will see how they feel about you . if they feel sorry for it then they think well i was wrong she didnt deserve it but if they feel oh well . then you deserve it . doesnt matter if i tell the truth or lie no one really belives or cares it doesnt matter . I try to undertstand and think only God and my family should matter but one my family for the most part will belive other people and God not sure what he wants out of me cause i feel like am i as tore apart on the inside as someone could be. i alway had somewhat low self esteem even when i was thin . I always felt not smart as others. i get so very frustrated to easy if i feel i should get it faster or quicker. i get very frustrated for easy and give up . that is also why depression is hard to beat because one you have to belive your worth something and i got alot people most dont belive nothing i say or do and two i get frustrated cause it easyer to just be down it takes so much effort to try to care about yourself or want to get out of bed. people are so hard trying to figure out is it bi polar depression drugs or lying the best thing anyone could do is like me for me. i dont know what me is anymore but if i do nothing to you then just like me for being sherri and no that i try hard everyday to feel worth knowing worth talking to worth having real friends that wouldnt go out of there way to hurt you . i try hard to imgaine what it would feel like or be like if i had one ounce of me left.

Hi Sherri

 

I can't even begin to know what all you have been through in your life.  But in reading your posts here...certain themes emerge.  It seems that you are really wanting others to think of well of you...and to trust you.

 

But what do you think of you?  There will be times in life when you feel isolated and misunderstood.  So it is all the more imperative that YOU believe in you.  It is hard to do...and it would be nice if others would give us what we want or tell us what we want to hear...but sometimes that doesn't happen and we have to rely upon ourselves.

 

Tell me some good things about you.  Make a list...I want to hear them. 

 

Keep writing...we are listening and will try to provide support.

Good things about me I guess when I not getting overloaded down by negative or depression is at one time i probably take in any animal or kid that needed me. I am very senative . I truly love my family I love to smile and love people but am very shy at times .Every time I get upset or something or even think i  hurt someone feelings i cant rest untill they know i am sorry. that really all i can think of. I am very thankful for each and everytime you wrote thanks for this site!

Hello Sherri  When we are depressed, we are very very sensitive and dependent on the approval of others in order to feel in anyway good about ourselves. Our thinking is distorted. We feel grateful... even for Bad friendships. Bad friendships.. be they family support systems that hurt us or friends who are Toxic.  Sometimes we need the courage to change, thats scary but it unstick you !  sometimes [and I have been thru this very lonely and painful route] its necessary for mental spiritual and physical survival, to take a long hard look at our friends, are they Toxic? do they affirm us or are they using us a a punching bag for their own problems? are they bullying us just because they can, because its an easy target, a depressed person with a low self esteem.  You are keeping down a job Sherri, through all this pain, I salute u for that. you are a survivor. I live in Ireland, I wish I lived near you so that I could tell u to your face that you are loveable, have a right to be respected and loved and cherished and helped thru this, because youre a human being. Youre a beautiful flower, in the shade and not getting any watering or food from anyone,does this make sense?  Start NOW youre on a great Site here. You have people who care.  Stay away from people who make u feel bad. Dont do anything too desparate when youre very down, tell the friend who seems to make you feel awful that you need space for a week or two, and really think about things ! Dont let others destroy you, please, slowly, step by step, start telling yourself that your awful self critisism is part of the distorted thinking that comes with depression.  Were here for you, you are among friends xx

I dont think since I been on this site anyone could have said anything any better to me. thank you so much you never understand what that meant to me. I never had anyone put it like that before your so very right when your hurting sad and extremely depression bad friend or good friend is still a friend. sometimes you feel there is no way out and you cant fight them all. I dont as most people with sereve depression dont have the energy . everyone get angry and out of that moment you say the wrong things but people have made a career out of tearing me down little by little untill i dont feel there is much left to save not to my face so much as behind my back where there is no standing up for yourself. I often see myself as leaving this world and wanted to look down from hopefully heaven to see if anyone regrets anything they said or done if they were wrong from every area of my life from telling the truth to not doing things like a past problem with pills or anything . Would God ever address them as to there part in things not to not forgive cuase everyone should be forgiven but to show them what effects they truly had on another life and what is positive or negative and what was the truth and A lie. I think there is so much true hate for me that no one would care either way . i deserve it in one way or another. it is almost like they will push you to the edge to pull you back up to take you down to that edge again. I made so many mistakes in my life so many wrong choices i dont know why i really dont. The one thing people can never say i did or take away from me . i never hurt anyone life in anyway . i never would want anyone to live to life i have over the last three years . i would never take someone self esttem out. I dont care to hurt anyone at all no matter how much they hurt me. I get angry and say things sometimes but to cause true hurt to someone life never. what you can never take back is when you destroy people in one way or another by showing them there not worth much or treat them like there words mean nothing which in reality is pretty much saying you mean nothing. I stay on depressed sometimes it gets hard to move like today i wouldnt get out of bed but only for a moment . I am very grateful to anyone that is truly nice to me without doing it for a reason or just because but someone that feels I am truly a good person to know. I dont know where honest my life leads I know that i cant contunie to live to this way . i am truly not lving at all some may get a kick out of that but someway someday i meet people that truly know when i person is hurting enough on the inside to back away from causeing anymore hurt  of any kind.

Hello again Sherri, all, Youre holding down a job. I speak from experience, please , in order to get well, stay well. Donot waste your precious energy that u need to get better thinking/giving headspace to people who dont understand or are nasty or who dont want to understand. Spend all your effort on  getting well, on getting that Self esteem back up again. Anger is ok, vent  it on the site but dont give those people too much space in your thoughts, dont let them LIVE RENT FREE IN YOUR HEAD ! Do u get what Im saying. YOU are whats important. Youre on the Site, many of us have relatives who didnt understand [in my case dont contact me except for my birthday and christmas..Guilt and a  sense of duty] when I came to terms with that... then I started to get abit better hold on life. Thinking over and over about what people said and did to us,just feeds the depression. Its really hard Sherri, its like climbing a mountain gettin out of bed; I was like that today.. but u have to now give all your energy to getting focused on YOU, what do you want? nice friends,  you have anight job, not great but u r lucky to have the job, it gives focus to your life. Read all the stuff on this site and get to understand your depression.  I have a feeling that u will come thru this much stronger.  Be kind to yourself. Take care,
