Help

Hi, I don’t even know where to begin. For the past three years, I’ve been drowning in depression. I’ve cut myself off from everyone, and there have been days, even months, where I’ve felt like I was invisible to the world. I’ve spent so much time alone in a corner, feeling sad, hopeless, and like my life is slipping away from me. On top of this, I live in a toxic and abusive home. My father is cruel and hurtful—every time he sees me, he tears me down with words or actions. I can’t even find peace in my own home, and it’s breaking me. Every day feels like a battle just to exist. I don’t have a career, I don’t have friends, and I feel completely stuck. I’m scared that I’ve wasted so much time that I’ll never be able to rebuild my life. But deep down, I don’t want to give up. I just don’t know how to move forward. If you’re reading this, please, any advice, encouragement, or help would mean the world to me. I just need to know that I’m not as alone as I feel. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
