What to do when you Feel like Nothing youre doing is Working, No One Seems to Care, and Youre about Ready to Give Up EP237
This is too hard. I GIVE UP!!!!
I said this at least fifty times a week, the year I decided to end my life.
Really, I had been saying it my entire life, but I didn\u2019t feel anyone could hear me, or that anyone cared. Including God.
But I kept pushing through, I went to every form of therapy I\u2019m aware of, read countless self-help books, watched every damn episode of Dr. Phil, ate my feelings, drank my feelings, dissociated into work, exercise, relationships, and sleeping pills.
All of these things did keep me alive, but I felt lifeless, like the walking dead. Zero excitement or joy for life, didn\u2019t know my deeper purpose (and didn\u2019t think I was good enough to have one), and I believed that God forgot about me.
My outsides didn\u2019t match my insides.
As I was planning my suicide, I still had my gel nails on point, hair highlighted, went to the gym 6 days a week (often 2 a days), paid all of my bills, traveled all the time, partied, and even smiled in photos.
No one saw my pain, even those I shared it with\u2026.they thought, \u201cTiffany obviously isn\u2019t that bad or she wouldn\u2019t be doing ___________.\u201d (this is what they told me years later)
You may not be feeling this low, but I guarantee many of you have felt like giving up on something recently\u2026your dream business, your hope for a relationship, your health battle, your inner healing journey.
I promise you won\u2019t hear any annoying platitudes from me like, \u201ctime heals all wounds,\u201d \u201cyou are just stressed right now,\u201d \u201cyou gotta push through it.\u201d
