hey! sorry if this annoying, but i used to struggle with the exact same thing and i felt like i should say something. For me, it wasn't really until i got a little older that i realized i was sad a lot because i felt like i didn't really accomplish anything or have any motivation throughout the day. But then i started to look at things differently and i realized i did a lot to be proud of! I woke up in the mornings, like actually got out of bed, got dressed, and went to school, when not everyone has the courage to even do that. I chose to stay awake in class (which we all know is HARD) and actually learn something. And then when i get home i take a nap because, well, i'm tired and while someone might say thats lazy and unproductive, i say that its all apart of my self help. I could deny my body the rest it needs, tell myself that i am lazy and that i don't contribute to anything, that the food i eat is bad, that whatever my family and friends tell me should dictate my life, but i realized that at the end of the day my life is mine to live. So i guess, to summarize this long rant, i would just encourage you (and anyone else who feels like this) take control of your life and start being proud of the little things. Find your happiness in the small things, like eating your favorite meal, or talking with your good friends (healthy friendships are the bomb.com OK), or petting a dog (or cat -but if you have a fish for a pet, i wouldn't recommend petting that). Just, find something that makes you happy, something that inspires you to wake up each morning and make the day your own, whatever it is. Make it your mental health! Say that today, you're going to become an even better you. Personally, i don't always look forward to waking up, some days i have gym class, but i still find a reason each day to be alive and kicking.
I guess you're right. I should try to see things differently. I will listen to your advice and enjoy little things. Thank you!
you're welcome! i hope your days begin to get a little brighter :))
here's a thumbs up, your comment is great!
As a teen I'm constantly thinking about what I wanna be and who I really am as well. I feel like only living through the day and not actually enjoying it. Just wandering around and waiting for something exciting to happen. Everyday the same routine. It feels empty :/
