Well as the title implies, I have been dealing with depression since 13. I always felt foreign to my own skin am that I wish I ripped my face off and put something else over it.

Overall, my experiences with bullying at a young age pushes my trust in people from my emotional access since I believe there’s double intentions. I always use humor as a coping mechanism to at least have friends.

Just most of the time, I’m struggling with depression and severe thoughts. I wholeheartedly believe that I will someday succeed with those thoughts (they can be overwhelming and I think the simplest and most effective way to stop those thoughts is to do that to myself)

30M here. I tend to be the funny guy in the group. But little does anyone realize is that I genuinely don’t find any enjoyment or interest in living. I just live for the sake of not upsetting the people around me.
As for personal interests, hopes, dreams, or hobbies, I don’t really care about those anymore.
I think in order to stop this painful existence from continuing is to stop it.

I’m sure people would try to convince me otherwise, but I’ve been told that various times throughout my entire lifetime. I’ve been living with anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
