Elderly with no hope
The only reason I'm alive is because I'm too afraid of suicide
10 years of loneliness destroys you
I confided in my boyfriend about being depressed. It was a mistake.
i just want to sleep forever
i’m constantly hoping an asteroid hits earth
I bought groceries four days ago and they are still sitting in plastic bags on my kitchen floor.
I'm excited for death
I’m too sensitive for this world
Have the whole day to enjoy myself and I still enjoy nothing
