I'm just so tired I wish fucking anyone would fight for me. I feel like I'm drowning, and realistically I am.

A family that can never once emotionally validate you, instead choosing to make endless excuses as to why I shouldn't feel the way I do, and wondering why that makes my depression worse and makes me feel like I'm going crazy.

Never had real supports, was always on my own, always underpaid, always forced to be the actual adult in the room even when I was a child, gee I wonder why I came out all fucked up and not amounting to anything?

Related: I was an egg that was crushed under the boot of society.

EDIT: Everyone's being real sweet but my life's fucked, I'm in a right wing shithole and the only people who care are struggling as much as I am. Please stop giving hopeful messages because they hurt more than help when there is no hope.

Lemme validate you, Snot, SHIT SUCKS ASS.

My trans bestie says the only reason she isn't offing herself is because if she does then they win, and she'd would rather die throwing a molotov at a faschie than doing their job for them.

Idk if that helps. Shit sucks. This wasn't very hopecore.

Hey if you want someone to talk to, hmu. I was suicidal until my 30s. I get it.

I don't know you but I'll absolutely fight for you.

I will commit crimes to protect you and anyone like us. The law means nothing to me. You are a human being and that means everything to me. Please stay strong. I know how fucked up it is. I live in rural nowhere and people follow me out to my car to physically and verbally intimidate me for daring to wear a mask in the grocery store. My friends say I am a problem for bringing up the fact that we are being systematically exterminated and that we need to fight it in every possible way. I love you, random internet stranger. Please do your best to stay strong. I will, too. Promise. I do not intend to let you down.

My friends say I am a problem

Sounds like your friends are the problem. But be a problem. Commit crimes. LIVE. I am here for you. You and @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone both.

I can somewhat relate to your pain, and I sincerely hope that you find friends that supports you and like you as you are and that you can find respite here and there until then.

Godspeed.
