I’m trying really hard

[idlegirl]

I'm trying really hard, i'm fighting it as much as I can but the thoughts just ricochet right back to me and I can't escape them. i just keep looking for more ideas to justify what i want to do. i also feel like it's unfair that i should stick around so nobody else gets upset. i just want to evaporate. i don't really care any more… i just want to disappear

When life has narrowed down to a single objective, it can dominate every thought. This can really distort one's view of the world. One thing that can help is to force yourself into various activities and tasks such that there are multiple aspects to life. This can start with indulging simple pleasures like reading a favorite book or watching a favorite movie.

As additional elements are added to life, depressive or bleak prospects often do not loom as large.
