i feel like I'm nothing but a burden and a disappointment to my family. I keep thinking bout how they would be better off without me around like maybe if I disappeared then they wouldn't have to worry bout me. I lie saying I'm ok cause I don't wanna talk bout my feelings or talk bout my depression so I force a smile and say I'm ok when I'm not.
