It's come to my attention that some of the people following me, and some of the people followed by me, are going through major struggles in their lives. I just wanted to say that I've gone through some of the same stuff. I've struggled with depression. I've struggled with emotional dependence. I've struggled with self-esteem. I've struggled with severe anxiety. I've struggled through losing one of the most important figures in my life. If you've had to deal with any of these problems, I cannot understate how difficult it is to go through life without support.

If anyone's still reading this, don't give up. Some people might say that all you need to do is straighten up and power on through, without giving any thought to the fact that you've tried that before. These guys are idiots. Fortunately, there are plenty of other people that you can depend upon to make your way through life, whether it's family, friends, or maybe a therapist. From my personal experience, there's always someone from one of those categories willing to help you. Visit your grandparents, if you want familial attention and your parents are being jerks. Go to a club that's dedicated to one of your interests, and when the time's right, confide to someone how you feel. Dial 211 if you're in the US to find mental health services in your area. In this case, the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Seeing as this is coming from someone who gets turned on by brains, it might not hit as strongly as I intend it to. But if someone's life gets better because I took the time to write this, it'll have been worth the effort. Remember, even if you feel nobody cares, you'll always find someone who does if you reach out and take a look.
