Could I be honest for a min. Sometimes I feel like giving up on life. Like there is nothing left for me in this world. Sad part. I am only 21 years old, and I have two beautiful children. I love my kids, but it's like I still haven't accepted that they aren't going anywhere. I know stupid.
When I was fourteen my mother passed away. She was hit walking home from work, by some women who wasn't paying attention. Every since then I have been bouncing around from place to place like I don't have a care in the world. Though I am a little older, I think back and that stuff, I think about my mother alot and what happend and its like I won't accept that she is gone. I wake up sometime and I am like mom. Expecting she will be there. And sad reality she won't. It's not fair to my kids. Because sometimes I feel like just getting up and leaving. Like the world around me is crashing down. I get like that from time to time. Serious panicked attacks, low self-esteem. Just wanting to give it up. All of it. Never do I dream of hurting my kids, no shape or form. Its me...I think I have nothing left. But they need me. And I am serious sometime I have no idea what I am going to do? Any advice on keeping sane? Hit me up...

I feel a lot like you do sometimes. My mother committed suicide 1 month ago, even though I wasn't really close to her because she left when I was about 2, I still really felt it. I'm not very close with my dad, or any other family member. All I have are a few good friends, and they make it worth while. I feel like giving up a lot as well, but if it is one thing I have learned, something always manages to come along, or someone, which makes you change your thinking, but it eventually comes back, I know that. But you were put on this earth, not to give up, but to impact the world. And that's what you should do, or at least try to. Don't give up on the world.

Hi I am 23 and I know what you are going through. I was eleven and my dad was killed. All my life I have felt empty and alone. I wondered why me. I have had anxiety, no self-esteem I think about him everyday of my life. I use to pray to god if he came back I would never ask for anything. I miss him alot. Have you tried talking to a therapist or anyone close to you about your feelings. That was alot of my problem. I wouldnt let go, I wouldnt tell anyone my memories of him or of what happened. I am going to a therapist and starting to accept what has happened to me and open up. Dont give up, your not going crazy by anymeans.
