I can not listen to / sing this song without sobbing and crying. My Anger / Depression / Anxiety is so strong, so powerful, so all-consuming. That I think, that my loved ones would be better off without me. That my wife, could be free of my burden, that my child wouldn’t see me angry anymore.

Hi there! I hear you, i feel you!

I see you are in pretty dark place that sucks out all the faith or will, with all the questions of “what’s the point?” and fear of something we cannot point our finger at. I feel you, these are real and heavy emotions.

First- you are valued for who you are, you are worthy and loved! You deserve to be with us, and you are not a burden to anyone :slight_smile:

Being someone that went through similar moments like you , I can tell you there are people around that care, that wants your happiness and deep down are loving you so much. If we cannot see it clearly, or we don’t understand that always, does not diminish these emotions towards us. This dark space you are right now, also does not define you as human being. I would even say this is the opposite, showing how many emotions, feelings, colors of life we can experience. The fact you are going through these is rough and so exhausting, but that makes you a human, one that can love, support. One that wants something good for others, that you care about them.

For me, the most important moment was when i said out loud my problem, i clearly stated that things that i loved no longer makes me happy, that i am in bad spot. That i cannot find satisfaction or pleasure. From that on i found that people wanted good for me, even if they didn’t knew what to do - they wanted good. And i am sure you have similar people around you. I hope you get through this, to feel the light again and find happiness with your family :slight_smile:

You are not a burden, you are not alone and you are heard :heart:

Sending my love
Matt
