Just incase nobody has told you today…. Your existence is not a burden and you deserve as much as anyone else.
When you’re struggling with your mental health, it’s really hard not to feel like you’re a burden to everyone around you. I know the thought has gone through my mind many times throughout my struggles with my mental health.
I’m here to tell you that those thoughts are wrong. You’re not a burden. People are helping you because they genuinely want to. They are there supporting you and helping you because they care about you.
Most importantly, you deserve just as much as anyone else. Your mental illness does not determine whether or not you are worthy of anything.
You are worthy of love. You are worthy of friendship. You are worthy of happiness. You are worthy of success. You are worthy.
Next time you’re feeling down and feeling like the world would be better off without you, remind yourself that you are not a burden and you DO deserve just as much as anyone else.
If you’re struggling with your mental health, but you’re not sure where to get help, check out our resources page.
TurningPointCT.org was developed by young people in Connecticut who are in recovery from mental health and substance use issues. We know what it’s like to feel alone, stressed, worried, sad, and angry. We’ve lived through the ups and downs of self-harm, drugs and alcohol, and the struggle to find help.
