I've been unhappy with myself for years. I need to find something new.
Is there something in particular that you think needs to change?
I need to feel free and be myself again.
Many people battle with feelings of depression and it's difficult to get out of at times. I think you should talk to a mental health professional and also your friends and family. There are people who will help and support you and work with you to sort out your emotions and negative feelings.
Is it really that bad?
Everyone's experience is different, but the feelings can definitely compound on themselves over time, so it's good to ask for help sooner rather than later. You deserve to feel happy and healthy and I'm confident that you can feel more like your true self in the near future.
